Jim Thompson outlets in Bangkok
the Thai silk legacy

There are 13 Jim Thompson outlets in Bangkok, where the legend started more than 50 years ago in 1947. Over the years these outlets have grown in numbers and in the range of products.

The main store is located at 9 Surawongse Road at the Henri Dunant junction opposite the Thai Red Cross. The nearest train station is the Silom subway station.

Jim Thompson outlets in Bangkok - the riverside hotels by the Chao Phraya 

The Oriental Hotel was where Thompson started his first Thai silk store at the old wing. So it's only fitting that there's a store there now.
