WebsiteThis small but fine museum is the former home of the man who saved the Thai silk industry from collapse. Constructed from six different traditional teak houses, the walls were reassembled from the outside in. Inside you will find Jim Thompson's beautiful collection of art and artifacts from Thailand and Southeast Asia. The guided tours are extremely informative and the grounds have just had a new bar and exhibition area added. A must-see, especially when you consider all the mystery surrounding Thompson's disappearance.
