He believed Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh was a nationalist who should be supported, and almost worshipped Pridi Banomyong, Thailand's pro-democracy statesman.

OldManDownDRoad: The general consensus in Thailand is that Thompson was hit and killed by a truck driver while walking along the road - the driver, understandably afraid of the repercussions, hid the body in the jungle where it was never found.

Public record makes it clear that there is no longer any mystery.. he got hit by a damn truck by a rural guy that was riddled with guilt until he confessed years later.
