My family and I were in the Cameron Highlands at the time of Mr. Jim Thompson's disappearance back in 1967. I personally, though a young boy of only 15 then, used to hike in the "jungle" regions opposite and surrounding the tea plantations near Mr. Robertson's flower villa. I never had any problems within them though I did explore some previously abandoned buildings covered then by vegetation and full of bat dung and presumed to have been used by the Communists during the "Malayan Emergency"...now they are nice homes again. Mr. Thompson, I believe, never disappeared per se...he merely "withdrew" as the article ("As Promised") below states and this, I believe is the truth about it!
