Yep.
Jim Thompson
Jim Thompson, born March 21st, 1906 in Greenville, Delaware, was an American architect who helped revitalize Thailand's silk and textile industry in the 1950s and 1960s.
Thompson, previously a member of the CIA, disappeared mysteriously after going for an afternoon walk on Easter Sunday in Cameron Highlands on March 26th, 1967.
Jim Thompson was on a quiet sojourn to the highlands to visit some friends and the fact that he left his cigarettes and a small silver 'jungle box' on the chair outside Moonlight Cottage where he was staying suggests that he had not planned to be gone for long.
Thompson was never seen again, and the theories for his disappearance are many, some plausible and others complex and far-fetched.
Many believe that he was kidnapped for his previous involvement in spying activities. However it is more likely that he was eaten by a tiger, murdered in a botched robbery or fell into an aboriginal animal trap (a pit with a spike) and buried by the Orang Asli when they discovered what had happened. Many hypotheses have been put forward to explain Thompson's disappearance, and there were some reported sightings of him after his disappearance, but what happened to him still remains one of the greater unsolved mysteries of Southeast Asia.
JimThom Rules!
>>>> The real Jim Thompson disappeared in the highlans of Malaysia in 1967. The best guess is that he was eaten by a tiger. Seriously! <<<<
You’re the first person to mention “the real Jim Thompson.” I was going to write about him this morning, but didn’t have time.
“The real Jim Thompson” story is pretty compelling, and anyone who’s been to Bangkok and SE Asia would know it. Last time there wifey and I went to the Jim Thompson house/museum and the Jim Thompson silk store (there are several in BKK).
What was Olberman doing in BKK?

Checking out the bars on Patpong and Soi Cowboy?
Or is he (like “the real Jim Thompson”) the type who prefers boys to girls?
