It must be amazing to admire and have a great deal of respect for someone and then have the opportunity to experience part of his life first hand. There's nothing more personal than a person's home, so for them to refurbish Jim's in to a museum is a fantastic idea for his fans and idols.<br /><br />Not sure if I will ever get to Bangkok, but I have some adventurous friends who I can pass the recommendation on to.<br /><br />Fab photos!<br /><br />http://forcailini.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533644247275257358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-35976271293284167442013-03-17T16:20:13.905+00:002013-03-17T16:20:13.905+00:00Love that I am learning new things from your blog!...Love that I am learning new things from your blog!

I didn't know that about FB. <br /><br />But Jim Thompson seems to have made more of an impact on the west instead of a name but no matter. He is really inspirational.

Such an interesting bio on him you've written up too - I love that he was reviving local crafts. His disappearance is a little like Florence Broadhurst, who was murdered in such strange circumstances in Sydney. She also had a love affair with the East as well. It seems if you are creative, then that is the place to go for inspiration. xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-73951304837181525722013-03-15T16:44:35.226+00:002013-03-15T16:44:35.226+00:00Amazing house, you know I've had his fabrics f...Amazing house, you know I've had his fabrics for years but didn't realise the extent of his brand at all.
