Jim Thompson House Museum Tours and Tickets - page 3

The driver pickup experience was excellent and I arrived nicely on time. The transport to the Jim Thompson house and the tour are not connected though. I am struggling to see why I could not have just booked a taxi and bought a ticket at the counter, as the tour is done by the Jim Thompson Museum. Maybe if you want to be guaranteed of a ticket you would follow this route. The house in itself is well maintained, fascinating and full of history and art. Jim Thompson received many famous visitors. The dining table is still in the same position just as the lounge area. It is well worth doing a bit of research into Jim Thompson beforehand, although the tour was done in a lovely way and informative. The Penn Museum offers an article worth reading, which will lead you to other articles. A few weeks ago I visited the Malaysia Cameron Highlands; I had read about its connection with Jim Thompson and his complete disappearance while going for a walk beforehand. The shop sells high quality silks, just as the Jim Thompson Silk shop at Bangkok Airport.
