‘Ah, fahlang. You look so handsome. You like Superstar? How many times you been Bangkok?’

Several girls writhed over us and between us as we sat down at a table. Jim stared gleefully at the transvestites, and I stared at the Chiang Mai beauties. In the distance I saw Mickey Williams at a table with five young bikini-clad girls. His smile showed evidence of a permanent orgasm. I walked to his table.

‘H, me old son. I had a feeling I’d run into you here. On my life I did. Sit down here with me lovely darlings.’

‘Good to see you, Mick. I haven’t thanked you properly for the loan of your flat in Palma. We had a great time. It looks like we’ll move to Mallorca to live.’

‘My pleasure, H. My pleasure. Missus all right, is she?’

‘Yes, thanks. She and the kids are here with me.’

‘It’s none of my business, H, but if I had a wife and kids, I wouldn’t bring them to Bangkok. I don’t think they’d like massage parlours.’ He looked across the room. ‘Hey, H. There’s that fucking nonce that was in Brixton with us on that table over there. What’s his name? Hobbs, that’s it. Hobbs. The dirty bastard.’

‘He’s with me, Mick.’

‘What! What are you doing hanging around with a nonce, H? Ain’t like you a bit.’

‘I’m sure he’s not a nonce, Mick. He’s just a gay who prefers teenagers to geriatrics. He doesn’t go after young kids. I mean, how old do you think that girl is, the one trying to give you a blowjob?’

‘Yeah, but it’s different here in Bangkok, H. You know that. It’s a different culture. It’s gotta be. And even if, like you say, he’s not a nonce, he’s just an iron, a poof, I wouldn’t trust him an inch. If he can’t keep his arse shut, how can he keep his trap shut? I don’t like him seeing me with you. Who’s he going to tell?’

‘Mick, he’s far less a danger than the two DEA guys sitting at the end of the bar. Besides that, you and I aren’t doing any business together at the moment, are we?’

‘You think they are Old Bill, those two? I’d been wondering myself, as it goes. And I did want to talk a bit of business with you, H, as it happens. I got this geezer …’

‘Let’s go outside, Mick, and get a bite to eat.’

‘Shall we take these little darlings?’

‘No, you leave them, and I’ll leave Hobbs.’

‘I don’t like the idea of him leering at them when we’ve gone, H. The dirty bastard.’

‘He won’t, Mick. I just told you he’s gay.’

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble

Not much between despair and ecstasy

One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble

I can feel the devil walking next to me.
