Jim Thompson - called the "Thai Silk King" - was an American architect, art collector, and former "spy" and commando with the U.S. Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War Two who from Bangkok single-handedly revitalized the Thai silk industry in the 1950s and 1960s, making it a globally recognized luxury product. He met a mysterious end when he disappeared without a trace in Malaysia in 1967. Since then books and journal articles have been written on Thompson, all speculating on why he vanished. But no answers have been found - until now. Prominent Thai businessman Xuwicha Hiranpruek has spent many years trying to solve the mystery of Jim Thompson's dissapearance, and now he shares his findings. https://youtu.be/eeV58BIHfsw
