Jim Thompson 2 Tourist Sites

A view of the Jim Thompson House in Bangkok. Mr. Thompson was an architect in New York, then joined the US Army during WWII. He was sent to Thailand, but arrived days after Japan's surrender. He fell in love with the country and the people, and decided to stay. He is single-handedly credited with reviving the (now world-famous) Thai silk industry.
