Story Behind The Song
As a half-Thai(half-English), I believe I have the right to defend the city I was born and brought-up in, against the unfair onslaught accusation made by a big hit maker Murray Head in his song,'One Night I Bangkok' that accuses it of being a disgraceful whorehouse of the world.
Song Description
The lyrics pretty much self-explantory about Bangkok from my point of view. So I invite you please to go ahead and read the lyrics through once.

Lyrics
BANGKOK
Bangkok(OOh!), Bangkok(Yeah!),
The Angel City of mass attractions,
Bangkok, I mean Bangkok, I mean Bangkok,
There ain't no paddocks,
Bangkok, I mean Bangkok, I mean Bangkok,
Maybe sad dogs,
Bangkok, it's in Siam,
Old Siam, in Siam,
If it's Bangkok, on the countdown,
For the future,
So be it!
Bangkok drivers, driven bumper to bumper,
Without it wouldn't it be kind of like a bummer,
Mobile telephone talking Thais in gentle smile,
Speaking the language that sings and sounds so refined,
Savour Thai rice amongst high-rise buildings,
Scraping the clouds through what not, Wat Thai
The Angel City of mass attractions,
Endless attractions, calling attention,
Call it Krungthep, call it Ratanakosin,
Never boring, sanook sanook fun fun,
Never run run, lest you sweat, at the drop of a hat,
On Khoasan Rd., you have the right of abode,
People walking, people chasing the picture.
I took a tuk tuk to Silom soi 4 so fast,
Man, there was a crowd on every square metre.
La fête de cuisines 24/24,
Dans la ville aux charmes de 'je ne sais quoi',
Sukhumvit promenade en nocturne,
Fait plus frais, fait passer le temps,
Plus vite vers les matins,
Au lever du soleil, la fête de cuisine perpétue pour tous,
La fête de cuisines perpétue pour tous dans la ville de Bangkok.
END
