Jim Thompson

This was an interesting one. While getting off the sky train we noticed a sign for Jim Thompson's house (who?), so we said we'd take a peak. Turns out this man was an American entrepreneur living in Bangkok back in the '60's who single handedly revived the silk industry in the country. His house was five old Thai houses that he had transported to this site and reassembled here. While on holidays in Cameron, in Malaysia he went for a walk one day and never returned - his disappearance a complete mystery.

Worth a stop if you're passing by, but don't go out of your way for this.
