About Jim Thompson (from Wikipedia):
Jim Thompson (James H. W. Thompson, born March 21, 1906 in Greenville, Delaware) was an American businessman who helped revitalize Thailand's silk and textile industry in the 1950s and 1960s. He was educated at St. Paul's School and Princeton University.
Originally an architect, he volunteered for the Army for service in World War II. After serving in Europe, he was posted to Bangkok, Thailand, as a United States military intelligence officer attached to the Office of Strategic Services (precursor to the CIA). After leaving the service in 1946, he returned to Bangkok to live permanently; many assume that he was a non-official cover. During the Vietnam War, his closest friend was in charge of USAF operations over Laos and Thailand.
He devoted himself to reviving the hand-weaving of silk, which had been lost as a cottage industry in Thailand. Conveniently, the silk industry is centered in Khorat, which may have facilitated his intelligence work. He is also well known for the construction of a traditional complex of six Thai houses in the middle of Bangkok. Most of the parts of his teak houses were disassembled from places around Thailand. They are now a museum and are a popular tourist attraction.
