Jim Thompson – A Thai Restaurant
Bangkok, Thailand
On balmy Bangkok evenings, few places are better for a leisurely dinner than this elegant restaurant in Bangkok’s Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter. Set in a well-proportioned building with bifold doors opening to lush foliage and a tranquil koi pond, the restaurant offers a refined dining experience blending traditional Thai cuisine with modern culinary flair. The quarter pays homage to Jim Thompson, the American silk tycoon (and ex-secret service agent) who revitalised Thailand’s silk industry; the restaurant reflects another of his passions – hosting elegant dinner parties. Executive chef Pepe Dasi presents a menu rich in crowd-pleasing Thai classics, alongside inventive dishes like pla muak pad kai kem, a Yaowarat-style cuttlefish stir-fry with salted duck egg sauce. Signature cocktails and a curated wine list complement the meal, whether you dine in the plush indoor space or the serene outdoor garden. The rich and vibrant interiors, featuring over 70 pieces from Thompson’s home furnishings, completes the sonnet to the silk mogul.
