BASED ON MY BRILLIANT PHOTOS OF THE LUSH GARDEN, OUTHOUSES, PAVILIONS, PONDS AND FLOWERING PLANTS, MANY WILL ASSUME JIM THOMPSON HOUSE MUST BE AN HOUR'S DRIVE IN THE PROVINCE...YET IT IS SMACK IN THE HEART OF BANGKOK CITY!
JIM THOMPSON HOUSE IS OPPOSITE THE NATIONAL STADIUM ON RAMA 1 ROAD AND A SHORT WALK FROM THE MAIN ROAD!
IT IS ALSO 10 MINUTES WALK TO MBK CENTRE, ONE OF BANGKOK'S MOST FAMOUS AND BEST SHOPPING MALLS!
SO YOU SHOULD VISIT JIM THOMPSON HOUSE FIRST AS IT CLOSES AT 5 PM AND THEN SHOP TILL YOU DROP AT MBK CENTRE!
ENTRY IS ONLY RM 10 WHICH INCLUDES A COMPULSORY GUIDED TOUR AS YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WANDER AROUND INSIDE THE HOUSES. AND YOU NEED A GUIDE TO EXPLAIN THE FASCINATING DETAILS AND WORKS OF ART COLLECTED BY JIM THOMPSON FROM DELAWARE, USA!
