The Original One Night In Bangkok Lyrics & Video
A few seasons ago when we traveled to Thailand for the first time, we first arrived in the;
🌆 City of Bangkok. As a Baby Boomer, I started to think about this {once ever so popular} smash hit 🎶 song …
🌺 One Night in Bangkok 🌺
I simply could not get this 📻 song out of my mind and thanks to the internet, it was easily found on YouTube. I thought it would be fun to post this and a nice fit, as I began 📝 writing about our visit to Bangkok and other beautiful destinations in Thailand.
Here is the original One Night in Bangkok Youtube video for you to enjoy! 🙂
Murray Head – One Night In Bangkok YouTube Video
For some of you like me, I remember this from my teen years when it was a hit 🎶 song, on the pop charts and when music videos, were just getting off the ground. For those who do not remember this, take a step back to the early 80’s, and see what music and videos were like over 30 years ago!
Enjoy the One Night in Bangkok video and sing along with lyrics below!
This song is definitely one that stays with you and will having you humming the 🎶 tune, when you least expect it. Here are the song’s lyrics for you to copy and paste for those that like to sing along!

One Night in Bangkok Lyrics:
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
But the city don’t know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brynner
since the Tirolean spa had the chess boards in it
All change, don’t you know that when you
Play at this level there’s no ordinary venue
Or….or this place!
The bars are temples but their 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
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)
Whattaya mean?!
You’ve seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town
Some are set up in the Somerset Maugham suite
Whose every move’s among the purest
I get my kicks ABOVE the waistline, sunshine!
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
To the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a muddy old river
or reclining Buddha
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 parlors”…
The bars are temples but their 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
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

Our Thailand Journey
A few seasons ago, we traveled to Thailand for the first time from 🍁 Canada. It was an amazing vacation, first stopping in Bangkok and then carrying on to the 🏝 {Island of Koh Samui}, located in the Gulf of Thailand.
In 2020, we returned once again, this time visiting; 🌴 Krabi, Koh Lanta and Phuket. We had another wonderful vacation. There are so many beautiful destinations this country has to offer.
