With acharismatic personality and a keen eye for colorand design, Thompson introduced the world to Thailand’s silk industry and helped countlessvillagers in the process.

Over some 20 years, “the best known foreigner in Bangkok” became an authority on Thai art, built a unique home that attractedluminaries and ushered in new dyes to createthe brightly colored silks we see today.
