The Jim Thompson House is a museum made of six traditional teak houses that American architect Jim Thompson assembled beside Khlong Saen Saep in the middle of Bangkok in 1959. Thompson had come to Thailand after the Second World War and revived the country's silk-weaving industry; in 1967 he disappeared in Malaysia and was never seen again. Today his home, filled with Southeast Asian art, is open as a museum. Visitors come to walk through the drawing room with its Chinese blue-and-white porcelain, the dining room set for guests who never arrived, and a bedroom holding Cambodian sandstone Buddhas. Entry is by guided tour in English, Thai, Japanese, French and German every 20 minutes, lasting about 45 minutes, after which you are free to wander the garden of banana palms, ferns and orchids sloping to the khlong. Upstairs galleries stage rotating exhibitions of textiles and contemporary Thai art. The museum sits in Siam, five minutes from BTS National Stadium and MBK Center, and the onsite Jim Thompson restaurant serves one of the neighbourhood's better plates of pad Thai.
