Jim Thompson Factory Outlet at Sukhumvit 93

4.1(2,023 reviews)

This factory outlet offers one of the more practical entry points into the Jim Thompson brand, the iconic Thai silk company whose name has long been associated with quality textile craftsmanship in Thailand. Compared to the polished flagship retail stores, the outlet format means shoppers can browse silk fabrics, garments, accessories, and home furnishings at reduced prices, making it a worthwhile detour for those with a genuine interest in Thai textiles rather than standard tourist souvenirs. The atmosphere is functional and unpretentious, prioritising a browse-at-your-own-pace experience over a curated retail environment. Stock can vary by visit given the outlet format, so those who take time to look through the available range carefully tend to get the most out of the trip. The selection draws from Jim Thompson's well-regarded catalogue of Thai-inspired designs across both fabric and homeware categories. Good to know: The outlet sits in a quieter, largely residential stretch of eastern Bangkok, a considerable distance from the main tourist corridor around Sukhumvit's lower sois. The nearest BTS Skytrain station is Bang Chak, from which the soi is reachable by motorbike taxi or on foot. Confirmed opening hours are not publicly listed, so checking recent visitor sources or contacting the outlet directly before making the journey is strongly advisable, particularly for travellers coming specifically from central Bangkok.

Tips for Visiting Markets & Shopping

Haggle at Markets, Not Malls

Prices at market stalls are negotiable — start at 50–60% of the asking price and meet in the middle. Fixed-price shops and malls don't haggle. Smile and keep it friendly; aggressive bargaining is considered rude.

Arrive Early or Late

Vendors believe the first sale of the day is lucky — you'll often get a better deal if you arrive right when the market opens. Late in the evening, sellers may also discount to avoid packing unsold goods.

Be Cautious with Tailors

Bangkok has excellent tailors, but also many tourist traps. Avoid anyone offering suspiciously cheap suits or who approaches you on the street. Ask your hotel for recommendations, read reviews, and always get two fittings.
