Bangkok, Thailand, April 8, 2026 / TRAVELINDEX / As part of its 75th anniversary celebrations, Jim Thompson, the iconic global lifestyle brand from Thailand, hosted an exclusive thank-you dinner at the Moonlight Hall in the Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter. The event brought together 75 invited guests, including key partners, valued customers, and long-time supporters who have contributed to its transformation.

The evening began with an exclusive cocktail reception at the Jim Thompson House, offering guests a private experience at the historic company headquarters before dinner. This marked a milestone for the company and was also a tribute to all those who have contributed to its evolution from a Thai silk house to a global lifestyle brand encompassing fashion, fabrics, hospitality, and cultural experiences.

The event will take place in the Jim Thompson Heritage Quarter, a cultural and creative hub that reflects the brand's shift towards experience-driven customer engagement. At the same time, the company is continuously expanding its presence in the lifestyle, hospitality, and partnership sectors.

The guest list reflected the breadth of the brand's relationships, spanning diplomacy, hospitality, travel, design, and retail. Attendees included ambassadors from France, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Canada, Germany, and the USA, as well as long-standing partners such as Thai Airways, leading hotel chains, and key retail and real estate partners like King Power, Siam Piwat, and One Bangkok. Media partners such as the Travelindex Media Group were also present, along with design agencies and some of the brand's most loyal customers. The presence of partners from these sectors underscores the brand's growing significance within a broader lifestyle and cultural network.

The occasion also saw the welcoming of key government officials who have supported the brand's direction, including Eurblarp Sriphiromya (Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand) and Sanon Wangsrangboon (Deputy Governor of Bangkok).

A highlight of the evening was the exclusive preview screening of "Jim and I: The Stories of the Weaver," presented to guests prior to its official launch. This collaborative narrative project explores Jim Thompson through the voices of twelve individuals who shaped his journey. It offers a shared perspective on craftsmanship, creativity, and continuity, reflecting the idea of ​​Jim Thompson as a legacy shaped by many hands over time. The event also introduced the first group of individuals, including Kittiphong Sansomboon, Niphon Manuthas, and Bill Bensley, whose personal stories contribute to the series.

“Jim Thompson has always evolved thanks to strong relationships,” said Frank Cancelloni, Group CEO of Jim Thompson. “Tonight provided an opportunity to recognize the partners and supporters who have contributed to this transformation. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we look to the future with the same enthusiasm, building on a shared foundation of creativity and trust. Our commitment to promoting Thai design and craftsmanship worldwide remains unwavering.”
