A few of the issues addressed in this book: Will Trevor Perry ever find his perfect soulmate? In three separate trips to Bangkok from Kuwait, this young traffic engineer trys to interview dozens of prime candidates for dinner—maybe even for good times to come in Kuwait and Norwich. But he keeps falling victim to targets of first opportunity, including the legendary Legs, a.k.a. “Long Tall Lek,” who used to be the star dancer at Shaky Jake’s, way back before her feet started acting up and she had to retire. Some things just seem to resist engineering. What is Leary’s Law, and why should every single male visitor to Thailand be aware of it? Under what circumstances was a gentleman named Sid “Siddiqi” Davis crushed to death by a falling bargirl known as Big Toy? Why is a hangover like sticking your tongue on a doorknob? Why would a local expat women’s club even want to talk to “Billboard” Coburn, much less rent out his backside? What’s this strange fascination Bill Baxter from Seattle has for a young lady with a reputation for “feeding the ducks”? What is the Swollen Pig-Head Syndrome, and in how many ways is it going to ruin our narrator’s love-life? More than a collection of stories, Bangkok Knights presents a sweet-sour portrait of lumpenproletariat expat life in Bangkok
