Bangkok's Lucrative Hangover: Sex, Drugs and Popular Sequels - TIME

Bangkok's Lucrative Hangover: Sex, Drugs and Popular Sequels - TIME: "In 'Farangs,' a short story by Thai-American writer Rattawut Lapcharoensap, a guesthouse owner grumbles about foreign tourists and their narrow tastes. 'P---y and elephants,' she says. 'That's all these people want.'

Actually, we foreigners want much more. We want a drug-dealing monkey and an ass-kicking monk. We want a facial tattoo, men with breasts, and Mike Tyson tunelessly singing 'One Night in Bangkok.' And we get them all in The Hangover Part II, a sequel to the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in U.S. box-office history."
