It's funny that none of the costumes represent Thailand, but then it's a product of its time, and quite catchy.
One of the greatest of all time. I like his accent. Even my very picky mother liked this song.
Greatest song of 80's era
The national flower of Thailand is the (yellow) orchid Ratchaphruek. The capital is sometimes called the Big Mango.

Bangkok Thailand
It only take one night 😉
Mike Tyson did it better🤷♀️
My favorite music video,its about Chess and was created one of ABBA!
Sounds like one hell of a night!
had the chorus in my head today " one night in Bangkok makes the hard man crumble ..etc"
And here I thought Eminem was the best white rapper😂😂😂
So, so, so arrogant… So typical for western culture!
What, in hell, this music has to do with Bangkok? It is so perfectly arabic. Bagdad would be much more suitable. But for proverbially stupid Americans whatever is not from Kentucky or from Arizona it is all the same… forein, oriental, primitive…
Nevertheless…. one town is very like another when your head's down over your pieces, brother.
So how many actually know, who Yul Brynner is? ❤️🇩🇰
Back when we had such creativity, that it took decades for a few to make witty comments & not even get in the shadow…Alas, the modern plain world.
One night in Bangkok make sure it’s not a lady boy
The intro is amazing
great lirics !!!

Yeah this song was ahead of its time
This song plays on my headphones whenever my plane lands in the Big Mango.
2028 seguimos escuchando esta buena rola de 1987..
👍🏾🍀☺️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Way ahead of their time , the Music back then should be played on every radio station , would be so much more fun. Luckily the stores know Gen Z, Gen X prefer 80's. Including Stranger Things Kate Bush etc…
Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
Time flies doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue
It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or
Or this place!
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you're lucky then the god's a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One town's very like another
When your head's down over your pieces, brother
It's a drag, it's a bore, it's really such a pity
To be looking at the board, not looking at the city
Whaddya mean?
Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Tea, girls, warm, sweet
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Get thai'd, you're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
Siam's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a
Muddy old river or reclining Buddha
And thank God I'm only watching the game controlling it
I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating
I'd let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you
So you better go back to your bars, your temples
Your massage parlours
One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free
You'll find a god in every golden cloister
A little flesh, a little history
I can feel an angel sliding up to me
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
#SONSHINE
I'd ❤ one night in Bangkok
Bangkok Oriental City! The Kings we use would not excite you…
This song is not about chess , its about the Bangkok ladyboys
The Cleverness of this song and video are un "matched".
Oddly enough, I wrote a song about playing checkers in Thailand. It jumps all over the place.
👍👍👍✌✌🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺
Love this song but at that time so confused is it the same city I born & living.
Its just what visitors experience.
Btw the vibe is cool 😍
Sounds like a really modern song. Might as well have been released in the last 5 years.
Well done!
Love ❤️ this in VR!!
King Naresuan, or Phra Naret, is considered to be a hero by many in Thailand.
that flute sounds fujarish
Cool song. Don’t know what he’s even talking about?
A part of the intro is missing!
Enjoy your day love 😂 you are priceless
Always wonder how Abba would have done with this song..had they united in the 80s
bars.
