This man has long been a legend. Like his mysterious life. In the twenties of the past century, Jim Thompson was the main Jetsetter among Bangkok Farags. Not less than once a week, he gave luxurious techniques in his mansion, to be invited to be considered very prestigious.
Thompson collected works of art, so his house in Bangkok has long become a museum. More precisely, it is not even one house, but a whole gallery of buildings, which by order Thompson brought from different parts of Thailand. The procedure was not easy: first the desired house somewhere in the northern outback of Siam neatly disassembled, and then, bringing to Bangkok, given a prime appearance.
Thompson was born in the usual (albeit very secured) American family. I studied on the architect in a prestigious university and even for some time worked in the specialty until the Second World War began. After going to fight, Thompson some winding paths got to Thailand, where she decided to stay to live. Look, she conquered his beauty some Thai diva.

Founding in Bangkok, Thompson decided to do business. He bit down then, as many believed, to the holy. Thompson stated in all that he was going to revive the former glory of Thai silk. And, oddly enough, he succeeded. It was offered to his employees (which worked including manually) use bright synthetic paints from Switzerland. This he came up with the patterns, which today are already considered original Thai (!) And this thanks to him in the outfits of Silk "from Thompson" appeared in the public the Queen Sirikit itself, and models on the covers of Vogue and Vanity Fair were dressed in Thai silk. (What Tompson also agreed on, raising his new York connections). In short, Thai silk became popular all over the world with Thompson's company.
Well, and the Thompson itself spoke around the world in 1967. Then he, resting his friends in Northern Malaysia, went to a clear sunny day from their house, Milo said goodbye to everyone and - disappeared forever. No longer saw him alive, nor dead.
In search of Thompson then some unreal forces were thrown. He was searched for a few months - the case is unprecedented, even if it comes to such a nonsense person as our hero.
Many patterns that are considered originally Thai invented personally Thompson.
It is concerned that the disappearance of Thompson was involved in the CIA, however, the truth, most likely, we will never know. See, at his magnificent parties, he was able to reveal deadly secrets ... well, and a new dress from the lightest Thai silk - here it was, he took a worthy place in my wardrobe. In addition, reasons to wear it in Phuket, as it turned out after our move, abound. We were confident with households that we will constantly walk only in flipmers shorts, but here I needed cocktail dresses, and quite the evening outfits in the floor. After all, a secular life in Phuket (the tourists do not even know about) is hurting the key. True, here she acquired very unexpected forms ...
