Jim Thompson House and Restaurant BANGKOK

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.
