Jim Thompson Thai silk: The ultimate Thai silk shop

Thai silk means Jim Thompson.  Surprisingly it's not a Thai name.  It's American, founded by Mr. Jim Thompson, a former US intelligence officer.  More surprising, his Thai silk do not have a high Thai customer base but more so among tourists, especially, the Japanese.  And the last surprise, Mr. Thompson disappeared without trace in the Malaysian jungle in 1967.  What left behind his mysterious story was the most successful Thai silk business in the country.  His Thai silk business has presently expanded into plenty of high-end items e.g. neck-ties, bags, pillow cases, photo frames, fabrics, shirts, boxers, etc.  Jim Thompson is recognized among the Thais as classy gifts and souvenirs for friends and business partners.  Along with its main store on Surawong road, you can also find Jim Thompson outlets in several shopping malls and hotels.

Review
Very popular among Japanese customers (who are said to be very strict and choosy,) Jim Thompson Thai silk is the best in the industry.  If you're looking for Thai silk products of premium quality and Thainess, this is the best and only.  There are a wide selections of silk products of your choice like neck-ties, scarves, pillow cases, picture frames, handbags, purses, etc.  When you buy from Jim Thompson, you are provided with a beautiful bag that can be directly handed to your friends as a precious gift from Thailand.  

Jim Thompson is pricey.  As an up-market label, they are not for everyone in designs and price.  Their looks are conservative and may be more suitable for mature people or businessmen.
