Jim Thompson's House
In 1959, 12 years after he singlehandedly turned Thai silk
into a hugely successful export business, American Jim
Thompson bought a piece of land and built himself a
house. It wasn't, however, any old house. Thompson's love
of all things Thai saw him buy six traditional wooden
homes and reconstruct them in his garden. Although he
met a mysterious end in 1967, today Thompson's house re-
mains, both as a museum to these unique structures and as
a tribute to the man.
