@@@ April 4, 2018 Location: Bangkok - Jim Thompson House and Museum -plus- MBK Shopping Centre

On this my last day here decided to do a little souvenir shopping so decided on MBK a large shopping centre with an entire floor filled with small shops. Close by, Jim Thompson House so revisited this wonderful place.

Jim Thompson was directly responsible for the modern Thai Silk industry. His love of Thailand was reflected in his beautiful house filled with Thai art treasures and built in traditional style.
