Jim Thompson: Beyond Silk, Beyond Thailand Coffee Table Book

The Jim Thompson: Beyond Silk, Beyond Thailand coffee table book chronicles the story of the American entrepreneur who revived Thailand's silk industry and built it into a globally recognised Asian lifestyle brand. Featuring lush photography by Chris Schalkx alongside archival and brand imagery, the volume captures the intricate patterns, flora-and-fauna motifs, and shifting colour palettes that define Thai silk. Text by journalist Stephen Wallis traces the cultural and commercial legacy of Jim Thompson, from mid-century origins to appearances in world-class hotel interiors and productions such as The White Lotus.
