Le ndoda ibidala yintsomi. Njengobomi bakhe obungaqondakaliyo. Kwinkulungwane yamashumi amabini enkulungwane edlulileyo, uJim Thompson wayeyona jetsetter ephambili kwi-bangkok farags. Ungabi ngaphantsi kweveki, wanika ubuchule obutofotofo kwindawo yakhe yokuhlala, ukuba kumenywe ukuba kuthathwe ukuba iphazamiseke kakhulu.
I-Thompson iqokelele imisebenzi yobugcisa, ukuze indlu yakhe e-Bangkok inde ibe yimyuziyam. Ngokufanelekileyo, ayisiyiyo indlu enye, kodwa yigalari yonke yezakhiwo, e-odolo e-Thompson ivela kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zaseThailand. Inkqubo yayingeyolula: kuqala indlu ifunayo kwenye indawo kumantla ebuya ngokucocekileyo kaSiam, emva koko, ukuzisa uBhangk, ngenxa yokubonakala.
UThompson wazalelwa kwi-upol (i-albeit kakhulu) ikhuselekile). Ndafunda kumyili weYunivesithi ebalulekileyo kwaye kangangexesha elithile ndisebenze kwimfesane yehlabathi yesibini. Emva kokuya kulwa, uThompson ezinye iindlela zomoya ziye eThailand, apho wagqiba kwelokuba aqhubeke ephila. Jonga, woyisa ubuhle bakhe ezinye iThai Diva.
Batsho ukuba iinkonzo zobuntlola zaseMelika zibandakanyeka ekunyamalaleni kweJim Thompson. Ifoto: En.wikipedia.org.
Ukusekwa eBangkok, eThompson wagqiba kwelokuba enze ishishini. Udanduluka ke, njengokuba kungcwele, kwaba ngcwele. UThompson wathi kuzo zonke ukuba wayeza kuphinda avuselele ubuqaqawuli obukaThai Silk. Kwaye, ngokungaqhelekanga, waphumelela. Inikelwe kubasebenzi bakhe (esebenze kubandakanya ngesandla) Sebenzisa iipeyinti eziqaqambileyo zeSwitzerland. La le lenyukele neepateni, ezisele ziqwalaselwe i-Thai yase-Thai (!) Kwaye oku kuyabulela kuye kwi-Thompson "kwavela ku-Thompson" kwi-Thompson "kubonakala emfanekisweni we-sirikitit, kunye neemodeli kwi-vogue kunye namampunge I-Fair yayinxibe i-Thai Silk. (Yintoni iTompson ivunyelwene ngawo, yaphakamisa i-York yakhe entsha). Ngamafutshane, isilika yaseThai sathandwa kwihlabathi liphela ngenkampani ye-thompson.
Ewe, kwaye i-thompson ngokwayo yathetha kwihlabathi liphela ngo-1967. Emva koko, phumla abahlobo bakhe eMazantsi eMalawi, waya kwimini ecacileyo yelanga endlwini yabo, uMilo wathetha kakuhle kuye wonke umntu kwaye - wanyamalala ngonaphakade. Akasamboni ukuba aphile, akangafikanga.
Ukukhangela kwe-thompsson emva koko amanye amakhosi aphoswa. Waphelelwa iinyanga ezimbalwa-ityala alizange libekho ngaphambili, nokuba liza kuba ngumntu ongengomntu njengeqhawe lethu.
Iipateni ezininzi eziqwalaselwayo ngokwee-Thai zasungulwa ngokwakhe.

Ukongeza, izizathu zokuyinxiba kwi-PHCEIT, njengoko yavela emva kokuhamba, indanda. Sasiqinisekile ngamakhaya ukuba siya kuhlala sihamba kuphela kwiiflipmers ezimfutshane, kodwa apha ndidinga iingubo ze-cocktail, kwaye iingubo zangokuhlwa zangokuhlwa emgangathweni. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, ubomi behlabathi kwi-Phcut (abakhenkethi abayazi malunga) kukwenzakalisa isitshixo. Kuyinyani, apha wazifumana iifom ezingalindelekanga ...
