Recently I was in Thailand visiting my family and interviewing family and friends. As I continue to work on the book, I am beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I also visited a brand new hotel under construction called The Siam. It is a small very exclusive all suite hotel on the river. Connie's Thai house is being incorporated into the hotel. Part of the house will become a superior Thai restaurant and part of it will become Connie's Pool Villa. Check it out of Facebook -- The Siam Hotel.
I visited the construction site and was thrilled to see it come together. I had been looking through old photographs for days and I found one of Connie and Jim Thompson in the house while it was being built. Connie was sitting on a teak log with a huge smile! The photo is old but I think you might be able to make out the smile! When I looked at the houses being rebuilt again, I'm sure I could see Connie sitting up there smiling!
