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.

That was Hunter Thompson.

I heard he shot J.R. Ewing.
Don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ve heard it told that before the Boogieman goes to sleep, he checks under his bed for Jim Thompson.
Jim Thompson, Fred’s bigger and badder brother.
Chuck Norris wears Jim Thompson PJs.
Jesus says three hail Jim Thompsons before bed.
The Buddha says the path to enlightenment is Jim Thompson.
LOL, I think a new meme has been created.

“I thought he was the founder of Free Republic.”
No, that guy is named Thom Robinson.
but he was soooo misunderstood in Hollywood. Some say this was the start of the move to his conservate activism and the germ of the idea for Free Republic.
Great find! Lol!
No, I think it was deeper than that.
And then he bought this boat and ran FR from and undisclosed ofshore location........
Shhh, michael isn’t dead either. Didn’t you hear about his body moving in the helicopter??? Or the photoshopped THIS IS IT picture where you can’t see the S between his legs?
He may be hiding in Thailand, too. All part of some CIA/Mossad/Illuminati/MagicalMysteryTour.
But If I had to explain I’d have to kill you or at least
erase part of the cartoon.
