Bangkok, Thailand, August 01, 2025 / TRAVELINDEX / At Jim Thompson, The O.S.S. Room, afternoon tea is more than a ritual – it’s a celebration of curiosity, travel, and the unexpected. This season, The O.S.S. Room unveils an exciting new chapter in its afternoon tea offering, reimagining its signature sets through the lens of Jim Thompson’s adventurous life. The ‘Jim’s Mystery Box Grand Tea Experience’ and ‘Jim’s Pinto’ sets invite guests on a spirited culinary journey, that blends Thai heritage with international flair.

Known for its unique setting and storytelling approach, The O.S.S. Room offers more than just an afternoon tea – it’s a cultural experience steeped in history, mystery, and unmistakable Thai charm. With interiors that nod to espionage-era elegance and service that reflects warm Thai hospitality, it sets the stage for a culinary journey filled with surprises.

While the names of the afternoon tea sets remain unchanged, the menus have been updated to capture the essence of exploration, and both sets are served with a curated selection of tea.

‘Jim’s Mystery Box Grand Tea Experience’ begins with a curated selection of savory creations. Blue swimmer crab is paired with creamy Thai chili paste mayo in the Crab & Chili Bliss open sandwich, while slow-cooked Thai Kurobuta pork is layered with a sweet and aromatic spice blend inside a brioche to form the Pulled Pork Harmony Sandwiches. The Chicken Satay Ball reimagines the Thai street food favorite as a golden-fried croquette, served with a traditional cucumber and chili relish. Miang Khum Pla Yarng rounds out the savory section with grilled fish of the day on betel leaves topped with a tangy herbal dressing and cashew nuts.

On the sweet side, the menu features the Mulberry Fig Muffin with clotted cream and Jim Thompson mulberry jam, followed by the Cashew Nut Financier that delivers a rich, buttery bite with a subtle nutty sweetness. The Lychee Blossom Cake, pays tribute to one of Thailand’s most beloved fruits, while the Zesty Lime Meringue Tart adds a refreshing note with its tangy filling. The Mung Bean Dumpling Delight, Pa Ka Krong, brings a traditional touch, and The O.S.S. Macaron ties it all together with a bold Thai bitter lime filling inside a classic French shell.

Guests may also opt for ‘Jim’s Pinto’, a playful, tiffin-inspired set that offers a rotating assortment of light bites and sweets, each layer telling its own delicious story. This set celebrates Thai-style presentation and culinary nostalgia while remaining refreshingly modern.

Both afternoon tea sets are perfectly complemented by over 20 exceptional tea selections from Thailand and around the world. The highlight is the Jim Thompson Exclusive Blend – a distinctive Thai green tea artfully combined with mulberry leaves, lychee, and floral notes, offering a refreshing experience that perfectly accompanies the culinary journey.

Served within the elegant and atmospheric surroundings of The O.S.S. Room – a space that echoes Jim Thompson’s legacy of intrigue and cross-cultural connection – these updated afternoon tea menus are a must. Rich in flavor, rooted in tradition, and shaped by imagination, this is afternoon tea redefined.

The O.S.S. Room welcomes guests every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday, 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm (last order at 4.00 pm).
