This mysterious American Architect/businessman left behind his gorgeous huge house in Bangkok and went missing during his trip to Cameron Highland, Malaysia during easter weekend in 1967. Until this present day, he is still yet to be found. With a sun-dappled tropical garden beside a punfent canal, six traditional teak houses brim with the art and antiques he rescuedfrom around Asia. A regular group guided tours leads you to discover these exquisite treasures and the life of the man himself.
With his natural flair for design and color, and driven by his single-minded dedication to reviving the craft, Thompson soon gained worldwide recognition for his success in rebuilding the industry, for generating international demand for Thai silk and for contributing to the growth of the silk industry. Jim Thompson and the Thai Silk Company he established, save a dying craft and transformed it into a world-class designer brand. With his artistic inclination, Thompson instantly found the remarkable beauty and extraordinary qualities of Thai silk, both fascinating and alluring.
