Biglietto d'ingresso al museo della casa di Jim Thompson e pick up in hotel
Descrizione
Godetevi questo viaggio al Museo Jim Thompson, che è uno dei luoghi più visitabili e interessanti da visitare a Bangkok. Verrai prelevato dal tuo hotel e lascerai il museo. L'autista ti passerà i biglietti d'ingresso. La casa di Jim Thompson a Bangkok è una delle migliori cose da fare in città dato che mette in risalto il design e l'arredamento della casa tailandese tradizionale. Jim Thompson era un espatriato americano ed ex architetto che si è trasferito in Tailandia e ha deciso di avviare un'impresa tessile. Mentre viveva in Thailandia, è rimasto affascinato dall'architettura thailandese e voleva costruire una casa basata sullo stile tradizionale delle case thailandesi. La casa che divenne nota come la Jim Thompson House divenne una leggenda di Bangkok, per la sua opulenza, l'attenzione per i dettagli tradizionali, la collezione d'arte e la vasta vegetazione che circondava il mezzo ettaro di proprietà nel centro di Bangkok.

Viator provided a car service to the museum from our hotel. It took over an hour. We came back on the Sky Train. It cost US$1.10 and took just 17 minutes. Don't use the car service offered. The traffic is horrible. Use the BTS Sky Train which is a 3 minute walk from the museum (they also have a free shuttle service from the museum to the escalator at the Sky Train station). The museum was exceptionally hot. I mean, really hot. We were sweating profusely. The tour guide spoke reasonably good English and they were very nice, however, the house/estate is pretty small as well as the art collection. They stretch the tour out to 45 minutes. Most of it is pretty interesting. It ends in their gift shop where the prices of their merchandise would make Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills blush. Scarves start at about US$120. We passed on any purchases.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at the Jim Thompson House. We’re sorry the car transfer took so long and that the heat inside made it uncomfortable. Bangkok traffic can be unpredictable, and we appreciate your tip about the BTS Sky Train and the free shuttle to the station. We’ll make sure future guests are aware of both transport options.We’ll also pass your feedback about the tour length, house size, and gift shop pricing to the museum team. We’re glad you found the guide nice and parts of the tour interesting despite the issues.Thanks again for the candid review. We hope your next visit to Bangkok is smoother and cooler!
I booked the tour to visit the Jim Thompson house in advance and did not chose the “pick up choice” expecting my tour guide at the premises…nobody showed up. I ended up losing the money for the tour-by the way no need to book a tour at all buy the tickets at the entrance 250 bhat and includes a guided tour.
Thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to the Jim Thompson House. Please note that we had attempted to contact you in advance to obtain your hotel details in order to arrange the pickup; however, we did not receive any response. As per our standard procedure, our guide picks up guests and purchases the attraction tickets directly, which are then provided to the customer upon arrival. In this case, since the pickup arrangement could not be confirmed, the service could not be delivered as intended. Therefore, we believe there was no lapse from our side. That said, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.
The driver was early. We got there and the people were friendly. It was our first day in Bangkok and our first tour- very enjoyable and a good entry point into Thai culture
Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊 We're thrilled the driver was on time and you enjoyed the friendly service. Glad the tour was a great intro to Bangkok and Thai culture - hope it set the tone for a fantastic trip!
The driver pickup experience was excellent and I arrived nicely on time. The transport to the Jim Thompson house and the tour are not connected though. I am struggling to see why I could not have just booked a taxi and bought a ticket at the counter, as the tour is done by the Jim Thompson Museum. Maybe if you want to be guaranteed of a ticket you would follow this route. The house in itself is well maintained, fascinating and full of history and art. Jim Thompson received many famous visitors. The dining table is still in the same position just as the lounge area. It is well worth doing a bit of research into Jim Thompson beforehand, although the tour was done in a lovely way and informative. The Penn Museum offers an article worth reading, which will lead you to other articles. A few weeks ago I visited the Malaysia Cameron Highlands; I had read about its connection with Jim Thompson and his complete disappearance while going for a walk beforehand. The shop sells high quality silks, just as the Jim Thompson Silk shop at Bangkok Airport.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊Sounds like the driver pickup was a win, but you're right about the Jim Thompson House tour - maybe a taxi and on-site ticket would've worked too. Glad you found the house fascinating and the tour informative. Your research paid off, and now you're an expert on Jim Thompson!
Very enjoyable experience, well organised, excellent taxi there, placed into groups, really informative and interesting.

Driver was not clear that he had to get our tickets to Jim Thomson House and if he had to bring us back after Jim Thompson. Had a little problem too locating him at pick up.
sorry for if any inconvenience caused, we will check with our driver about all those above issues and clear with him not happening in the future. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us.” We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us.
very nice place , traditional wooden houses , in a beautiful garden , beautiful! but 2 steps from the metro , visit in English , so why pay so much for 45 minutes of traffic jam , and a driver ( nice ) who just buys you the ticket ? be sure of you and go there by metro ! anyway , you will have to make the return by metro , and it is easy !!! do not pay this simple transfer !!!

The whole tour is fine, even we waited for more than one hour to get our guide. But just feel very disappointed to the top floor coffee shop staff there. This coffee shop is on the 2nd floor of the silk store. We are Asian and they treat us completely different from the white customers. They smiled to them and gave wet tissue to them. They also talk with them with patient and happy face. When they turned their faces to us, they become impatient and rude. I asked where the garbage bin is, the girl even with a pull down face. This experience reduced our good impression of Thailand and I do think they should train their staff better. We were the only Asian in that coffee shop.
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. We hope to see you again soon.” We really appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us... We will check on your issue and will forward this complain to the Jim Thompson.
This was the perfect tour; very informative and just the right length. The home and art collection of Jim Thompson are beautiful. His aesthetic is undeniable. The gift shop was filled with gorgeous merchandise. What a wonderful afternoon.
