Jim Thompson's House
American silk entrepreneur Jim Thompson deserves most of the
credit for the current popularity of Thai silk around the world.
His fame increased when, in 1967, Thompson disappeared in the
Cameron Highlands of Malaysia under mysterious circumstances. He
has never been heard of since. The house itself is an excellent
example of Thai residential architecture, and inside is a display
of his Oriental art and antique collection, as well as an array of
his personal belongings.
