» 1 Animal conservation is the hot topic of the town, and Jim Thompson is (unintentionally) getting involved in the fight. In buying their autumn/winter 2017 collection of scarves, specifically the Tiger Silk Jacquard Scarf (11,500 baht), you will be donating 5% (575 baht) of the price towards The World Wildlife Foundation. With a large dimension of 27 by 27 inches, the print of the powerful tiger has been expertly jacquard woven into 100% Jim Thompson silk. There are two colours available for this cause: gold/brown and silver/grey.
