We spent last Saturday afternoon visiting the famous Jim Thompson House in Bangkok. We've been there once before, but we learned a bit more about Mr. Thompson's history and success this time around.
 |
| Visitors are not allowed to take pictures inside the house, but the gardens outside give you a flavor of the style of his home. |
 |
| The grounds are beautiful and peaceful. It feels like the house is in the middle of the jungle. |
 |
| There are priceless works of art throughout Jim Thompson's home. |
 |
| Jim Thompson was an American who is credited with bringing Thai silk to the western world. |
 |
| Don't forget to look up every now and then. |
 |
| Intricate drawings are displayed in glass cases depicting various scenes of Hindu tales, providing inspiration for prints on silk textiles. |
 |
| Our guide explained that this little house was made for the spirits so that they would not be angry that the home was built on their land. |
 |
| This is the largest room in the house. It is an indoor/outdoor living area. You will have to visit yourself to see how it looks inside! |
