Bangkok｜Jim Thompson Museum The Secret of the Wooden House Explore the Cultural Charm of Thai Architecture

After visiting the courtyard of the Jim Thompson Museum, we returned to the starting point. In order to protect the precious wooden floor, the guide asked everyone to put their shoes in the shoe cabinet, and then started to explore the interior of this historic building from the first floor. The floor is not big, but it has a rich collection, with many images of gods and Buddhas and statues from hundreds of years ago on display. We walked up to the second floor along the antique wooden planks, where we used to dine, filled with all kinds of Chinese porcelain and tableware. Next, we came to the spacious living room, which was where Thompson received guests. As I walked through the living room and headed for the master bedroom, a carved wooden door caught my eye. The tour guide revealed that there was a safe hidden behind the door. Only Thompson knew the password, and it has not been opened yet, adding a bit of mystery. During the entire visit, in addition to appreciating historical relics, you can also feel the atmosphere and stories of past life. Reasons for high recommendation: ① The traditional stilt house architecture is combined with modern exhibition design, creating a strong cultural atmosphere ② The mysterious disappearance of Jim Thompson adds interest and topic to the visit ③ The cool ventilation and teak aroma in the house make people feel comfortable physically and mentally Useful information: Store name: Jim Thompson House Address: 6 Soi Kasemsan 2, Rama 1 Road, Bangkok Time｜Daily 9:00–18:00 #Bangkok #Jim Thompson Museum #Thai Culture #Thai Architecture #Bangkok Travel #Thai History #April Places to Go 2025
