Comprising various old Thai structures, the Jim Thompson House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Thailand. Visitors can visit the many structures, pieces of art, antiques, and sculptures that this American businessman collected during the 1950s and 1960s. Jim Thompson was particularly partial to Southeast Asian art, which features a lot in this eclectic collection.
There is also Buddhist and secular art from Burma, Laos, and Cambodia as well as Thailand. The house itself is a work of art, as it was created from the remnants of six antique Thai houses, and now welcomes visitors to view the pieces he’s collected over the years.
