A must-see in Bangkok! Jim Thompson’s guide to shopping for Thai silk souvenirs

#Bangkok Shopping Guide When traveling to Thailand, how can you miss the world-famous Jim Thompson Thai silk? Although it can be seen in major shopping malls in Bangkok, the stores are generally small. I recommend two good places with a full range of goods and less crowds, which are perfect for personal use or picking souvenirs! The first recommendation is the Surawong flagship store in Sathron District. This two-story store brings together all kinds of Thai silk goods, from cute elephant ornaments, exquisite handbags, playful hair bands, to comfortable and breathable trousers. Men's ties and Thai silk shirts are full of texture, and they are decent for gifts or personal use. It is worth mentioning that there is another building behind the store to display Thai silk furniture. The unique design and matching are unique and worth spending time to visit. The business hours are 09:00-20:00, and there is plenty of time for you to slowly choose. Another must-visit place is the Jim Thompson Museum. The museum is connected to the specialty store next to it. Not only can you buy Thai silk products, but you can also visit the teak building full of historical charm. Surrounded by lush greenery, any photo you take is a blockbuster. Even the "Fairy Sister" has come here to check in. The parking building often holds special exhibitions to add to the fun of shopping. However, please note that the business hours here are from 10:00 to 17:00, so it is recommended to plan your trip in advance.
