THE GRAND PALACE (THAI:PRA BOROM MAHA RATCHA WANG) IS A COMPLEX OF BUILDINGS. IT SERVED AS THE OFFICIAL RESIDENCE OF THE KINGS OF THAILAND FROM THE 18TH CENTURY ONWARDS. CONSTRUCTION OF THE PALACE BEGAN IN 1782, DURING THE REIGN OF KING RAMA 1, WHEN HE MOVED THE CAPITAL ACROSS THE RIVER FROM THONBURI TO BANGKOK. THE PALACE HAS BEEN CONSTANTLY EXPANDED AND MANY ADDITIONAL STRUCTURES WERE ADDED OVER TIME.

       WHEN KING RAMA1 DECIDED TO MOVE THE CAPITAL OF SIAM FROM THONBURI ON THE WEST TO BANGKOK ON THE EAST OF THE CHAO PRAYA RIVER, HE DECIDED TO BUILD A MAGNIFICENT NEW PALACE AS A PLACE OF RESIDENCE AS WELL AS A CENTRE OF TOVERMENT.

SOON THE KING ORDERED THE BUILDING OF THE TEMPLE OF THE EMERALD BUDDHA: AS THE MONARCH'S PERSONAL PLACE OF WORSHIP AND ROYAL TEMPLE.

      THE PALACE BECAME THE CENTRE OF GOVERMENT AND ROYAL COURT FOR MOST OF THE EARLY CHAKRI DYNASTY UNTIL THE REIGN OF KING RAMA5 WHO PREFERRED TO STAY AT THE DUSIT PALACE, BUT STILL USED THE GRAND PALACE AS AN OFFICE. THIS PRACTICE WAS FOLOWED BY HIS SONS (KING RAMA6 AND KING RAMA7) KING RAMA8 MOVED INTO THE PALACE FULL TIME AFTER HIS RETURN FROM ABROAD IN 1945. HOWEVER KING RAMA9, HIS BROTHER KING RAMA9 DECIDED TO MOVE PERMANENTLY TO THE CHITRALADA PALACE.

23.JIM THOMPSON HOUSE (PRIVATE TOUR)

      YOU ARE NOW IN THAI HOME OF JIM THOMPSON, THE AMERICAN WHO WAS BORN IN DELAWARE, IN 1906. A PRACTICING ARCHITECT PRIOR TO WORLD WAR2, HE VOLUNTEERED FOR SERVICE IN THE U.S. ARMY, CAMPAIGNED IN EUROPE AND WAS LATER SENT TO ASIA. HOWEVER, THE WAR ENDED BEFORE HE SAW ACTION. HE WAS SENT TO BANGKOK A SHORT TIME LATER AS A MILITARY OFFICER AND FELL IN LOVE WITH THAILAND. AFTER LEAVING THE SERVICE, HE DECIDED TO RETURN AND LIVE HERE PERMANENTLY.

       THE HAND WEAVING OF SILK, A LONG-NEGLECTED COTTAGE INDUSTRY, CAPTURED JIM THOMPSONS'S ATTENTION AND HE DEVOTED HIMSELF TO REVIVING THE CRAFT. HIGHLY GIFTED AS A DESIGNER AND TEXILE COLORIST, HE CONTRIBUTED SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE INDUSTRY'S GROWTH AND TO THE WORLDWIDE RECOGNITION ACCORDED TO THAI SILK.

      HE GAINED FURTHER RENOWN THROUGH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS HOUSE COMBINING SIX TEAK BUILDINGS, WHICH REPRESENTED THE BEST IN TRADTIONAL THAI ARCHITECTURE. MOST OF THE HOUSES WERE AT LEAST TWO CENTURIES OLD AND WERE EASILY DISMANTLED AND BROUGHT TO THE PRESENT SITE, SOME FROM AS FAR AWAY AS THE OLD CAPTITAL OF AYUDHYA.

      IN HIS QUEST FOR AUTHENTICITY, JIM THOMPSON A DHERED TO THE CUSTOMS OF THE EARLY BUILDERS IN MOST RESPECTS. THE HOUSES WERE ELEVATED A FULL STORY ABOVE THE GROUND, A PRACTICAL THAI PRECAUSTION TO AVOILD FLOODING DURING THE RAINY SEASON, AND THE ROOF TILES WERE FIRED IN AHYDHYA EMPLOYING A DESIGN COMMON CENTURIES AGO BUT RARELY USED TODAY. THE RED PAINT ON THE OUTSIDE WALLS IS A PRESERVATIVE OFTEN FOUND ON MANY OLD THAI BUILDINGS. THE CHAMDELIERS WERE A CONCESSION TO MODERN CONVENIENCE, BUT EVEN THEY BELONG TO A PAST ERA, HAVING COME FROM 18TH AND 19TH CENTURY BANGKOK PLALCEDS.

      ALL THE TRADITIONAL RELIGIOUS RITUALS WERE FOLLOWED DURING CONSTRUCTION OF THE HOUSE, AND ON A SPRING DAY IN 1959 DECREED AS BEING AUSPICIOUS BY ASTROLOGERS, JIM MOVED IN. THE HOUSE AND THE ART COLLECTION SOON BECAME SUCH A POINT OF INTEREST THAT HE DECIDED TO OPEN HIS HOME TO THE PUBLIC WITH PROCEEDS DEOATED TO THAI CHARITIES AND TO PROJECTS DIRECTED AT THE PRESERVATION OF THAILAND'S RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE.

      ON MARCH 26TH 1967, JIM THOMPSON DISAPPEARED WHILE ON A VISIT TO THE CAMERON HIGHLANDS IN MALAYSIA. NOT A SINGLE VALID CLUE HAS TURNED UP THE ENSUING YEARS AS TO WHAT IGHT HAVE HAPPENED TO HIM HIS FAMOUS THAI HOUSE, HOWEVER, REMAINS AS A LASTING REMINDER OF HIS CREATIVE ABILITY AND HIS DEEP LOVE OF THAILAND.
