Thailand: Jim Thompson House Museum in Bangkok

Last Thursday I got two postcards: one from Thailand and one from France.

The card from Thailand shows the Jim Thompson House Museum in Bangkok. The Jim Thompson House Museum shows the art collection of American businessman and architect Jim Thompson, who helped revitalise the Thai silk industry in the 1950s and 1960s and who disappeared mysteriously in 1967. It was designed by Jim Thompson himself and was built in 1959 as a complex combination of six traditional Thai-style houses and various old Thai structures that were collected from all parts of Thailand.


With nice stamps:
King Prajadhipok Day (issued 30-05-2003)
Ships and Navigation (from set of four) (issued 01-09-2004)
Water Birds (from set of four) (issued 15-05-1997)
Heritage Conservation Day (from set of four) (issued 02-04-1996)


Thank You very much Jobbo!
