JIM THOMPSON A THAI RESTAURANT Dinner, A La Carte Menu 2025
Jim Thompson was an American who made Thailand his home — a man captivated by its culture, craft, and community. Best known as the “Thai Silk King,” he revived and globalized the Thai silk industry, while opening his home to friends, artists, and travelers from around the world. His spirit of discovery and deep appreciation for Thai heritage continue to inspire us today.
At Jim Thompson, A Thai Restaurant, we carry that legacy forward by working hand in hand with local producers, choosing seasonal ingredients, and creating dishes that reflect both tradition and modern Thai creativity. Our menu spans the diverse flavors of the country — from timeless recipes to contemporary interpretations — each prepared with care and designed to be enjoyed by all.
In the Thai way, dining is about sharing. Our dishes are meant for the middle of the table, encouraging conversation, connection, and a sense of togetherness. It’s the same warmth and hospitality Jim Thompson extended to his guests, welcoming them into his home with food and friendship. That spirit lives on here, in every meal we serve.
