Jim Thompson was a prominent American businessman who played a key role in reviving the Thai silk industry during the 1950s and 1960s. He was widely respected for his work in preserving Thailand’s silk production and was among the most well-known Americans residing in Asia before his mysterious disappearance. Thompson was acknowledged for almost singlehandedly saving Thailand’s crucial silk industry, a recognition that was prominently featured in Time magazine. His lasting impact on the Thai silk trade is still commemorated today.
