I have loved this song for many years. I went in Bangkok forty years ago, it was the first time. I came back in 2022, I am still here in Krung Thep. I am found of the smiles. The huge energy of this city is improving my health.

This should be the Thailand tourism promo.

Was in the army--Vietnam--in 1966/67 --took my R&R in Bangkok, I'm 75 years old now, and can honestly say-- those 5 nights in Bangkok were the best most memorable nights of my life.

This song was written/sung by ABBA, Murray Head was only the guest rapper. ABBA did an amazing job here -- the refrain into the super dry, tight mix on the vocals at 0:38 hits different. The voices feel right next to you with ABBA's unorthodox harmonic style.

From the Internet: "One Night in Bangkok" is a song from the concept album and musical "Chess" by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus. British actor/singer Murray Head raps the verses, while the chorus is sung by Anders Glenmark, a Swedish singer/songwriter.

"CHESS" was originally produced as a "concept album". As a fully staged musical production it had a successful 3 year run on London's West End, but bombed on Broadway. It has had recurrent "revivals" over the years; usually in a "concert" format. Possibly one of the most successful and profitable vehicles that "no one has ever seen" Go figure...

I was looking for THIS cut of the song, as it's the best, and it's the cut I remember hearing on the radio back in the 80's. I decided to watch the video for $#!TS and giggles, and found it to be a tasteful, colorful video edit that fits very well with the song. I wish some original video scenes of Murray Head singing some of the lyrics were featured interspersed in it, though.

What an awesome transition at 0:51!!😍
