Jim Thompson's eye for beauty was not only confined to silk and ancient architecture. He had a genuine love of nature and walking off the beaten track, exploring the countryside and its surrounding jungle was one of his special pleasures. On Easter Sunday, March 26, 1967, Jim Thompson set out from the Moonlight Cottage for a mid-afternoon stroll in the jungle; at that point the Thai Silk King stepped out of myth into legend as he was never seen again. Thus, it is with pleasure that we present Cameron Highlands Resort Signature Trail; the 'Jim Thompson Mystery Trail' which combines his passion for the surrounding hills with the mysterious circumstances of his disappearance.

Misi Callbaru'p ke Thompson Trail, Cameron Highland, Pahang bermula lebih awal setelah kayuhan warm up dibatalkan atas sebab-sebab yang tak dapat dielakkan.

Lepas makan sementara menunggu Hj Din & Adik Ipaunye (Hadis) sampai..Lepak kat STARBUCKS CAMERON......tempat berlakunya kejadian lawak pecah perut..(hanya yang terlibat je tahu hehehe)
Hj sampai kul 1am..dan macam biasa..kalau org tua ni mai mesti tk bleh tidoq punya...pukul 3 baru dapat tido..
