Another year, another Jim Thompson Farm tour. "Jim Thompson Farm 2024: Isan Calling" is scheduled from Dec 7 to Jan 1, 2025 in Nakhon Ratchasima's Pak Thong Chai district. It's an opportunity to get in touch with nature, snap plenty of pictures amid winter blooms and enjoy the cold breeze across 600 rai of the famous Isaan farm.
This year, Jim Thompson Farm presents "Isan Calling" as its theme and features various beautifully decorated zones alongside activities that give visitors a glimpse into the Isaan way of living.
The "Vibrant Flower Fields", a timeless favourite, captivates visitors with colourful displays of cosmos and other flowers endemic to the region.
"Art On Farm" brings 19 renowned artists from Thailand and abroad, who turn the farm into a sprawling art space to showcase living sculptures and breathtaking installations, all of which are inspired by Isaan culture and Mother Nature.
Located next to the rice fields, the "Joyful Music Stage" comes alive as celebrated Molam artists take the stage from 4-7pm. Bo Dam Lam Sing and Wiang Na Naruemon will perform on Dec 20 and Ku Khaen will perform on Dec 21.
There are several exhibitions to edutain visitors on Isaan music, the diversity of Thai rice, Thai silk heritage and Vietnam War legacy. Your visit wouldn't feel complete if you don't visit the Jim Thompson Silk Pavilion where you'll learn the process of Thai silk from silkworm to finished fabric and try your hand at weaving. The farm is named after the "Thai Silk King", after all.
For family-friendly fun, be sure to check out the Art Trail "Lan Siao Home" (Friends' Gathering Space) where young visitors can interact with cartoon characters along the path while tapping into their imagination. Through QR codes, the young explorers can unlock character stories through SoundCloud.
Last but by no mean least, Isan Kitchen and Farm Store offer authentic Isaan cuisine and creative fusion dishes alongside exclusive Jim Thompson Farm products, Jim Thompson items and special merchandise available only at the farm.
Weekday and weekend tickets are available via Ticketmelon. Children and seniors can get in for less than one red note.
