So when a young man from Utah goes missing in Bangkok, his parents are soon knocking on Bob’s door asking for help.

Travel Guide
Bangkok
The Village of Olives
“That’s how Bangkok translate, I kid you not.. Bang means ‘village’ and ‘kok’ is an olive like fruit. Doesn’t have much of a ring to it, so the Thais prefer to call their capital Krung Thep or City of Angels.
A further taste of the city in the book:
Bangkok’s traffic light system was perfectly capable of being co-ordinated by a multi-million pound computer system but more often than not the police would override it and do the changes manually, using walkie talkies to liaise with their colleagues down the road. that meant that when a light turned red, you had no idea how long it would stay that way. Your fate lay in the hands of a man in a a tight-fitting brown uniform with a gun on his hip.
