Jim Thompson Museum in Bangkok - Feng Shui also exists in foreign countries

[Tiptop] Jim Thompson is an American architect who settled in Thailand after World War II, reviving the traditional Thai silk industry and promoting its internationalization. The museum was originally his private villa, integrating art collection and life aesthetics, and is now a niche cultural landmark in Bangkok. [Angel] Mr. Jim has collected a lot of Chinese antiques, many of which are porcelains that I have never seen in museums in China. The design of the master bedroom is very exquisite, and it also refers to Thai Feng Shui. It turns out that the whole world believes in this, which is really amazing. Unfortunately, just as the Thai Feng Shui master predicted, the owner disappeared inexplicably at the age of 60, and the cause of death remains an unsolved mystery to this day. ‌📍 Address‌ 6 Kasem San 2 Alley, Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok 10330 (or near Rama 1 Road). ‌🚇 Transportation Take the BTS Green Line to ‌Ratchathewi Station‌ or the Dark Green Line to ‌National Stadium Station‌, transfer to the shuttle bus and walk for about 5 minutes to arrive‌. ‌🎫 Tickets ‌ Adult ticket price is 200 baht, including free Chinese explanation; Highlights 1.
