- williefil13Singapore, Singapore1,221 contributionsGood to go if you have time...The place is in the suburb of Bangkok but easy to go by BTS. It has a good show room. On the 3rd/4 floor they have some men/ lady shirts & dresses, bags. These are maybe previous season products but still good and nice designs. You may find something interesting for you but good if you have time, if you want to have everything done in one trip in your short schedule, maybe better go to their shops downtown.Dear Khun williefil13, Thank you for sharing your feedback, we're glad you enjoyed exploring our store. We appreciate your insights and hope to see you again soon.

- iris uLisbon, Portugal8 contributionsGood outletThis is the outlet of Jim Thompson. There aren't many choices, the clothes sizes end for xlarge mostly for men. There arent many handbags on sale, usually I found that they were the same price the ones I wanted to get. However there are a lot of clothes that have gone to sale which are from the last seasons. Honestly I bought about 7 dresses couple of tshirts and many different stuff which I have been wearing a lot. The quality of the clothes are incredible, Jim Thompson is a brand that I have been getting since years and the clothes never get old, it is top quality.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten July 13, 2024
- Mary FSpartanburg, South Carolina2 contributions👍🏻 For the fabric houndThis place is a must visit if you love textiles! I am a fabric hound and the Jim Thompson outlet checked all the boxes. I bought so much high-end fabric for great prices. I had to buy a suitcase to take it all home. I wish I knew someone in Bangkok to go to this outlet and buy monthly for me! Any takers let me know. I could buy half the store. 1- 864-590-9098.Visited July 2024Traveled soloWritten July 24, 2024
- chocolaOsaka, Japan13 contributionsIf you want to buy Jim Thompson, I recommend it.It is a 5-6 minute walk from Bang chak station on the Sukhumvit line. The location was easier to understand than I thought. The store had a good selection of items and I was able to find items I liked and buy them cheaply.Visited August 2024Traveled soloWritten August 2, 2024
- DrDouglas1971Edinburgh, United Kingdom180 contributionsSadly Underwhelming...A visit to both the Jim Thompson House and also to the Factory Outlet were always “must dos” when in Bangkok. The outlet is 5 minutes walk from the Bang Chak BTS Station and has floors full of wonderful Jim Thompson silks to buy by the metre. It also used to stock a great range of clothing and accessories but sadly on this visit the selection was disappointing. I struggled to buy anything, when normally I come away with bags of goodies. Jim Thompson has never been cheap but the prices have increased massively since my last visit; £70 for a Men’s cotton Polo shirt is not a bargain in my book. Sizes were also suited to those XS and XXL! Also the staff who had always been helpful & attentive simply stayed behind the counter and talked amongst themselves. Hopefully on my next visit it will be back to it’s former glory of well stocked selections & variety and proactive staff looking to help. No JT presents for anyone this year!Visited September 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten October 16, 2024

I went there because I was curious to see how cheap it was.
Some items were 70% off,
but they were not my favorite products and the bargain price wasn't something I was keen on, so I left the store after about 30 minutes without buying anything.
At first glance, it looked like there were a lot of items,
but the same items were displayed on different shelves,
and I felt like "Huh? I've seen this item before...".
I went there without any expectations so I wasn't disappointed,
but I don't think it was worth going out of my way to see it.

I have enjoyed the quality of Jim Thompson accessories owning some favourite pieces for many years. The shop houses a lot of fabrics, a reasonable amount of home furnishings, good choices of bags but not many clothes. We had a lovely lunch in the restaurant to fuel up before the shopping expedition.
We bought a number of gifts with good discounts. Do allow a couple of hours if you are serious about bargain hunting.

It's been over 3 years since my last visit.
As others have mentioned, the store's selection of fine fabrics is their strong point. The only change I noticed was a smaller array of men's clothes and accessories to choose from. While stylish shirts can cost over 3000 baht, not a bargain in my view.

The JIM THOMPSON outlet did not live up to expectations. It’s not worth wasting time on the road (40-60 minutes one way from the river), there is no choice of clothes and interior items at all, very old collections and models. The prices are slightly lower than the store and there is also a small discount, but there is absolutely nothing to buy. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th floors have fabric and a few things and the 5th floor is closed. It's better to buy less but have fun in the city's shops. We saw a lot of rolls of fabric, the price is from 1000 Baht per m2, which is not cheap

I love the quality of Jim Thompson’s fabrics. I highly recommend a visit to his home, tour the house, watch them spin the silk from worms and eat at the restaurant. However his prices are out of my budget, so in the past when visiting Bangkok I would go to his outlet store. This year I was disappointed to find the prices had doubled and the selection had halved. 🫤 I strongly advise you don’t waste your time or money going there.

As a frequent traveller to Bangkok (40 times in the past 8 years), I visit the JT factory outlet regularly. Here's a review on what to look for:
Where It Is - Sukhumvit Soi 93, the Sukhumvit Rd is really long and Soi 93 comes way after the Emporium. It is in a clean nice area with some small workshops around. The building itself is really neat and brightly lit. Staff are helpful though not as warm as the ones in the JT boutiques in the city center.
How to get there - take a taxi, it costs about 120 baht the last time I look a cab from the city centre. Most taxi drivers or hotel staff know this outlet. The trip is about 15-25 minutes depending on traffic conditions.
What to buy - the outlet is actually in a JT buidling with several floors. The ground floor features fabrics for curtains, cushion covers, etc. Very affordable prices but you have to know the exact measurements of the item you have in mind. Most fabrics are off-season but not old. Every time I am there, I see a lot of people on this floor.
The next floor features some women's and men's clothings. These include scarfs, shawls, limited beachwear, T-shirts with JT logo on them, some ladies' fashion wear, handbags and mens' ties. There are small gift items too. (e.g. lipstick holder, tissue paper holder, silk wallets, silk photo frames, etc.) If your budget is 150-200 baht per gift item, you will have plenty of choices.
Prices are slashed easily by half and somtimes by 2/3.
The top floor is where you get carpets, mats, beanbags and those lovely cusion covers. This is my favourite floor - you can get a JT big beanbag for US$25, small carpets for US$30, cushion covers are from US15 to 40, depending on the sizes. These are usually last two seasons' designs but who really cares?
The last time I went (6 months ago), the cafe was newly opened. It is located on the top floor - cappucinos, Thai snacks and sandwiches, prices are unexpectedly high though.
I normally spend 1-2 hours there and return to the hotel with my hands full.
Enjoy your shopping!

It's worthwhile making the trip to this factory outlet. There are 5 floors of fabrics (1-3 floors), clothes and accessories (4th floor) and home furnishings (5th floor). There is a good selection of products although for clothes, sizes are limited. This is a great place to shop for quality Jim Thompson prices at discounted prices - great for gifts!
Tip- take the BTS line and stop at Bang Chak station (E10). Take exit 5. When you come to the bridge, take the right exit (Sukhumvit 95) and take the stairs leading away from the station. Walk down Sukhumvit' pass a market and turn right at Soi 93. The outlet is about halfway down the street on the left side of the road.

I went despite having read the reviews. I didn't think that I would find anything but I knew if I didn't go, I'd kick myself later.
I took the BTS and got off at Bang Chak (E10) station, then I took exit 5. At the bottom of the stairs, I was at the corner of Sukhumvit and soi 95. So I continued in the same direction until soi 93, turned left and walked. I seriously didn't have to walk far and there it was on the left. It was about a 5 minute walk (and I walk slow!)
I had a look at the fabric on the first floor. Then decided to go to the 5th and work my way down. On the 5th, it was mostly pillow cases, table runners and the like. There was a cafe.
4th floor was accessories and clothing. I spend most of my time here! There were canvas shoes for kids, men and women. Clothing as well. I was quite shocked that I couldn't button up a size 8 beautiful green linen shirt! (Maybe I've been away from North America so long that I am not a size 8 anymore! LOL!) This shirt was 1600 Baht. The clothing was hit and miss. They didn't have all sizes or colours but that's okay because I went there with no expectations. There was quite a selection of bags - make up bags, cigarette bags, hand bags, totes, lipstick cases etc. There were obviously scarves as well, and jewelry boxes, some wallets, pencil cases, hair accessories, note pads, eyeglass cases etc.
the 2nd and 3rd floors were bolts and bolts of fabric. I have a quick look but I was not looking for any upholstery fabric. I didn't see any fabric for clothing. Then again, I wasn't in the market for fabric so I didn't really pay attention.
For someone who had no expectations, I spent nearly 4000 Baht! I pick up little things to be given away as birthday gifts to 10-13 year old girls. Remember to get the VAT refund paper issued on the first floor before you leave the shop.
The place wasn't super busy but there was at least 20 people (not including all the sales folks) on the 4th floor. I had no problems with the sales clerk following me around as one person had posted earlier. They were quite helpful.
So all in all, a good shopping experience. I may even go back before we leave Bangkok just in case they get a new delivery of clearance sale items!

Thanks to 'poboxearth' (review 14/11/2014 ) for excellent directions that I will repeat below - with a few of my own additions:
Get out at the Bang Chak BTS station, exit 5. Take the exit on the right side to descend, (near Soi 95). You can see 'Lotus Bakery' on the street. When you get to the sidewalk walk in the direction that the train came from i.e. against the flow of traffic. Then on the corner of Soi 93 is a 7/11 convenience store - a very short distance from the station, and you will turn right and walk about 4 min and until you see a large brown building on the left.
Its very straightforward with these directions and takes only 5 mins from the station.
On Soi 93 there are many older buildings that are vacant and being pulled down, so I expect new buildings will be there soon. This is currently a very local area with food markets and street stalls.
The fabric was lovely but more designed for upholstery than fashion sewing - huge selection. Gifts on the 5th floor would be good if you didn't have time to go elsewhere, but I did think you are paying to have the name 'Jim Thomson" on your items.

There are five floors at the factory, with three dedicated to silk and cotton fabrics by the metre, one floor dedicated to home accessories (on the 5th floor) like cushions, napkins and curtains. You will really need to know what you want as the first 3 floors are large store rooms for fabrics.
The most popular floor is accessories (4th Floor), where you can purchase clothing and personal items, including picture frames, silk scarves, neckties. To get there, you need to take the BTS to Bang Chak Station and then walk out exit 5 down Sukhumvit Soi 93; the Jim Thompson Factory Outlet is around five minutes’ walk on the left hand side of the street.
Also note that you can get a vat refund if your purchases exceed 2000 bhat. The shop assistants on the ground floor will be able to assist you with the paperwork. Although you do not need your passport, you will need to know your passport number.

Did Jim Thompson outlet have ladies wear? was it priced out of reach? Anything worthwhile here? Also was looking to see pillow cases of all things. Thank you for answering

Didn't see any knickers then. Pillow-cases were plenty. Some were very nice. You will enjoy their selection.

My wife likes your shop's stylish goods : especially cat pattern and elephant pattern T-shirts . And , so am I .
And when we get to Bangkok , we look forward to buy those .
But on this visit at the end of July , Including the shop on Surawong Rd, we could hardly obtain those.
Isn't that a basic pattern and standard product you always prepare ?
Did the policy change?
We want know .
Because we'll be Bangkok at the end of this year
Written August 24, 2017
I think so too. "Timing is all". Especially after the bargain period there are not so good products. Also I think that compared to the past, products are not substantial in the whole.
I have visited this store three times in the past, but I think if I visit in July. Good luck!
Written August 27, 2017
Do you carry wallcoverings, specifically House on the Klong?
Written August 19, 2017
No - and the house on the khlong fabrics aren’t there either. The selection is mainly knock-knacks (purses, etc) and end of run fabrics + left overs from projects they have undertaken. The catalogue fabrics can be found here only if discontinued or not selling well elsewhere.
Written December 3, 2017
Does this outlet sell wallets and men's shirts?
Written July 19, 2017
Unfortunately they have chosen to start selling this knock knack more also in the factory outlet. The patterns and colours might not be up-to-date - those that are left unsold in stores are brought here and sold at discounted prices.
