  The polished wood panels of a group of Thai-style teak houses, facing the slow-moving waters of the Klong Maha Nag, shine brilliantly in the high-noon sun. Here was the home of Jim Thompson, the legendary American businessman who developed a thriving silk business in the years before he went missing in the jungles of Malaysia - a man whose flair for the tasteful and graceful led him to build this fabulous house and gardens and to fill it with Oriental treasures that will take your breath away.
