Jim Thompson House and Restaurant BANGKOK (2018)
Jim Thompson was an American Who served in the U.S. Army during World War II. At the end of the war, he was sent to Asia as a military officer and fell in Love with Bangkok. After leaving the service he returned to Bangkok to live there permanently. He was an architect prior to the war and he adhered to the traditional Thai style of construction of the buildings in most respects. The houses were elevated a story above the ground to avoid flooding.
Jim Thompson later opened his home to the public and donated the proceeds to Thai charities and to the preservation of Thai cultural heritage. He disappeared on March 26th, 1967 in Malaysia.
Jim Thompson Restaurant & Bar is located within the house grounds. Their dishes are mainly Thai-Western fusion and a bit pricey.

Jim Thompson House Museum & Restaurant With Amazing Thai Food | Things To Do In Bangkok, Thailand
Support our channel by subscribing:
Welcome to the beautiful Jim Thompson House Museum. It is the former home of the famous American Jim Thompson, who started the Thai silk industry after World War II. It houses a magnificent collection of Asian art and many unique displays. This historical destination is not to be missed when visiting the bustling city of Bangkok, Thailand.
We arrived late morning and were able to grab a tour of the house within the hour. Beware that no photos or videos are allowed to be taken in the house. Be sure to walk through the garden of the house, which actually feels like a mini jungle with beautiful Thai foliage. The whole area is very quiet and serene, which is surprising, considering it is located in central Bangkok and only a short walk from the Bangkok National Stadium.
After our tour, we ate lunch at the Jim Thompson house. We feasted on two traditional curry food dishes and Thai coconut soup while the kids enjoyed some well-prepared Western dishes. Everything was perfect at the restaurant from the service to the food. We felt it was in the same caliber as a 4 to a 5-star restaurant. Be sure to visit too!

Culinary Director Montri Virojnvechapant of Spirit Jim Thompson
Under the stewardship of Chef Montri Virojnvechapant, the cuisine at Spirit is refined Thai flavours. Rare recipes of some very historic Thai dishes reappear in front of diners. I was especially delighted to see the pleasing marriage of modern culinary innovation and authentic ingredients. Served with an appealing presentation, each dish is a delight in the eyes. The use of only fresh ingredients in each dish promises an unfailing flavour on the palate. I was impressed when I saw a dedicated coconut room near the parking spaces. Fresh coconut milk is produced two times a day for providing sufficient fresh supply for lunch and dinner menus.

Hello Everyone this is my Trip to Bangkok, Thailand
I hope you like this video......
-Jim Thompson House
The Jim Thompson House is a museum in central Bangkok, Thailand, housing the art collection of American businessman and architect Jim Thompson, the museum designer and former owner. Built in 1959, the museum spans one rectangular rai of land.
-Chatuchak Park
Chatuchak Park is the name of a public park in Chatuchak district, Bangkok, Thailand. It is also the name of the Chatuchak Park MRT Station that lies under the park. Chatuchak park is one of the oldest public parks in Bangkok.
-Chatuchak Weekend Market
On Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road, Chatuchak, Bangkok, is the largest market in Thailand. Also known as JJ Market, it has more than 15,000 stalls, divided into 27 sections. Chatuchak Market sells many different kinds of goods, including plants, antiques, consumer electronics, cosmetics, pets, food and drinks, fresh and dry food, ceramics, furniture and home accessories, clothing, and books. It is the world's largest and most diverse weekend market, with over 200,000 - 300,000 visitors on a daily basis.
-Siam Niramit
With its rich history that reads like an epic novel, Thailand is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing Asian nations, replete with over 700 years of captivating culture, customs and traditions. But just how Thailand's spawning seven centuries are brilliantly captured into a 90-minute production, Siam Niramit has the answer. Housing the Ratchada Theatre, a miniature Thai village, Sawasdee Restaurant and a souvenir shop all under one roof, the Siam Niramit compound is decked out in contemporary Thai style, with small 'salas' (gazebos) and sculptures of Kinnaree, a mythical winged creature prevalent in many Thai fables. Here you can also feed the elephants, listen to a 'ranad' (Thai xylophone) band and take pictures with characters from the show.

New documentary investigates disappearance of Thailand’s legendary ‘silk king,’ Jim Thompson
(19 Oct 2017) NEW DOCUMENTARY INVESTIGATES DISAPPEARANCE OF THAILAND'S LEGENDARY 'SILK KING,' JIM THOMPSON
A new documentary is set to stir fresh debate over one of Asia's most enduring mysteries; what happened to Jim Thompson, Thailand's legendary silk king.
The American former intelligence officer turned entrepreneur disappeared in Malaysian jungle, 50 years ago. No trace of him was ever found.
Theories abound – he was killed by a tiger, he got lost and perished in deep forest – but the film-makers say they have new evidence that he was murdered, along with who did it and why.
Their film, Who Killed Jim Thompson, will premiere this Friday (20 OCT. 2017) at a film festival in Oregon, U.S..
During World War II, Thompson was a highly decorated operative with the Office of Strategic Services, the forerunner of the CIA. After the war, he settled in Thailand, turned businessman, and helped revive the Thai silk industry.
On Easter Sunday, 1967, the 61-year-old was holidaying with friends at a cottage in the cool of Malaysia's Cameron Highlands. That afternoon he went for a walk. He never returned. A massive search of nearby thick jungle found literally nothing. Jim Thompson, one of the most prominent expatriate westerners in Asia, had vanished.
The filmmakers, from Adventure Film Productions, got their break out of the blue: an old contact approached them with a tale of a death-bed confession. They eventually found a second source whose testimony dove-tailed with the first, and expanded on it. They recently finished off their film in Bangkok.
They're keeping details secret until after the premiere but producer Barry Broman - who has extensive Asia experience as a photographer, US marine and diplomat – says the conclusion is unequivocal.
This whole search thing is a red herring because Jim was never going to be found. He was murdered.
The murder theory's not new. But this version, the filmmakers say, is more substantial. It uses on-the-record interviews, names, and states motive.
Jim got himself killed, or was killed, because of his trying to help a friend, OK? says Broman.
He was killed purposely but it could so easily have gone another way. It was just bad luck on Jim's part.
Jim Thompson's silk firm has grown into one of Thailand's flag-ship companies; its colorful fabrics and products must-haves for many international travelers.
A spokesperson declined to comment on the claims about the fate of its founder.
But Broman says the company has nothing to fear from what it reveals. If anything, Thompson's personal reputation, he says, will be enhanced.
He will come away as a more – I won't say sympathetic – but a good guy. He was a good guy. He was doing the right thing, he says.
The filmmakers agree there is a lot of information still missing. They hope their film will prompt more people to come forward with they know about that fateful afternoon in the Malaysian hills, 50 years ago.
