a week agoLoved the exhibition here! Definitely worth it if you are visiting Jim Thompson house since it is included in your ticket.

a week agoA mysterious place; there's a small, art-themed area on the third floor. If you have a ticket for the Thompson Museum, you can enter; otherwise, it costs $50. The exhibition space is a bit small; you can probably see everything in about 15 minutes. The view from the top floor is rather boring. However, the walls on the first floor are great for taking photos.
