Strategically located within One Bangkok, the store contributes to the city's growing reputation as a "Global Integrated Lifestyle Hub."

The ultra-stylish interior showcases rich textures of silk yarn walls adorned with Jim Thompson Home Furnishings fabrics. Striking metallic cinnabar mirror glass accents create a dazzling backdrop.

The Silk Exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the history of Jim Thompson, exploring the company's foundation and its deep relationship with the Thai silk-making community. Visitors can uncover the unique story of silk production and admire the craftsmanship of Jim Thompson fabrics and products, which have helped establish it as the iconic global lifestyle brand it is today.

Situated above the retail fashion floor, Jim's Terrace offers patrons expertly crafted beverages and delicious Thai bites with panoramic views over One Bangkok's lush greenery and The Wireless House exhibition, a tribute to Thailand's first telegraph station, originally built in 1914, now reimagined as a modern contemporary display.
