| Thai Silk in Sukhumvit area, Bangkok |

 |
| Thompson, who settled in Bangkok in 1945, recognized the commercial possibilities of Thai silk at a time when the ancient handicraft was quickly disappearing due to competition from cheaper, machine-made fabrics. Convinced that the beauty and quality of Thai silk would have appeal outside Thailand, Thompson founded The Thai Silk Company, Ltd. For over fifty years, the Bangkok-based company has been the premiere manufacturer of exquisite Thai silk products. |
|
|
|
| By the 1960s, the company had helped spawn over a hundred other silk companies in Thailand and silk had become the country’s most famous product. |
|
|
| The Thai Silk Company Ltd. has exclusive branch shops in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and their home furnishings are distributed world-wide. The company operates a shop at the Jim Thompson House Museum at Thompson’s famed traditional Thai residence, which was, in his lifetime, Bangkok’s most celebrated social center and today draws visitors from around the world. Thompson’s mysterious disappearance in the Malaysian jungle in 1967 sparked the Jim Thompson legend, and his successes in Thailand have made his story one of the most popular postwar legends. |

Over 110,000 people visit the Jim Thompson House each year. Many may buy a length of superlative fabric for custom tailoring or home furnishings, or perhaps a small gift item like tissue holder or a handbag. But in the east, silk is still seen as an old lady's fabric, and it's this dowdy image on the home front that Eric is seeking to dispel. He has recently teemed up with royal fashion designer Nagara Sambandanaska and furniture-maker-turned-international-style-guru Nopadon Baholyodhin (Ou) to update and showcase silk through a new range of silk accessories which will appear to the style-minded but retain the allure of silk as a luxury material which typifies Thailand. |
