FOUNDER

JIM'S
LEGACY

Following
on
from
the
excellent
reception
in
New
York,
Thompson’s
Thai
Silk
business
prospered
in
the
1950's,
and
in
1967
he
opened
his
first
shop
on
the
iconic
Surawong
Road
in
Bangkok.
 
Jim
also
acquired
a
diverse
collection
of
Thai
and
Southeast
Asian
art
and
antiques.
By
the
late
1950’s,
his
collection
was
so
extensive
that
he
built
a
place
to
house
his
splendid
collection.
In
1959,
Thompson’s
famous
House
on
the
Klong,
made
up
of
six
old
teakwood
houses
from
Bangkok
(Banh
Krua)
and
Ayutthaya
province
(Pak
Hai),
was
completed.
