Jim Thompson's house

While I was in Thailand my family and I went to see Jim Thompson's house. Jim Thompson was a man who worked for the CIA and was very into Buddhism and creating clothes and other things out of silk. Mr. Thompson disappeared in the 60's and neither he nor his remains have ever been found and his house was subsequently turned into a museum. It has wonderful statues of Buddha and lovely furniture. We were not allowed to take pictures inside the house and so the pictures below were taken outside.  Although I couldn't get pictures of the whole place, I still post pictures that I did take here because I've always liked art and this house was full of art!
