🇹🇭 Bangkok Hidden Gem Museum | A Guide to Visiting Jim Thompson House

#summervacay Looking for a lesser-known museum in Bangkok? The Jim Thompson House Museum is the perfect spot to spend a peaceful afternoon—rain-friendly too! ☔📸 📍Highlights: 🏠 Traditional Teakwood Houses: Hidden in the heart of Bangkok, this museum consists of six traditional Thai teak houses from the 17th–19th centuries. The architecture and setting are absolutely charming. 🎨 Silk + Art + Architecture: Jim Thompson, an American architect, played a key role in reviving the Thai silk industry. This space uniquely blends art, architecture, and business history. 🧵 Story of Thai Silk: You’ll learn all about the process of silk-making and see gorgeous fabric displays and antiques. Great for culture and design lovers! 📷 Instagrammable & Peaceful: The unique colors and design of the buildings make this a beautiful spot for photos—and a great place to slow down and relax. ✅ Tips: Guided tours in English or Chinese are recommended for deeper insights. Pair this visit with a half-day shopping trip around Siam. Entry is around 200 THB (subject to change), and includes a guided tour. — #jimthompsonhouse #bangkoktravel
