German Art Dealer in the Bangkok Night

"German Art Dealer in the Bangkok Night" - Chris Coles

He breezes through Southeast Asia once a year to check out the art scene in Bangkok, Hanoi and Rangoon......nothing too serious and a little fun along the way....life in Berlin is so peaceful and routine....he needs something different from time to time.....something with an edge, a bit noir, and Southeast Asia fits the bill to a "T"........

Camorra Mafia Guy in Bangkok

Camorra Mafia Guy in Bangkok - Chris Coles

...........he's in Bangkok for meetings with the guys who run the counterfeit factories, setting up fashion, accessories, sports equipment, auto parts, watches and perfume, every brand, make and mark, some made in Thailand, some subcontracted out to Cambodia, Vietnam and China, to be packed into containers and shipped to Naples, then sent throughout the EEC.............the margin on brand names is so high and the cost to make the labels is very low...............

Israeli Gangster in Bangkok

Israeli Gangster Bangkok - Chris Coles

.....he doesn't give a shit about politics, religion or race, he's only interested in how much he can make off whatever there is to make it from.......girls from Moldova, Burmese heroin, weapons from Cambodia, the only things that count are his percentage and the rate of return.....some of his most reliable partners are Hezbollah Shiite Muslims from Lebanon, their word is their bond and they always stick with the deal.........some of his profits are going into a chain of Bangkok Spas and a new golf course in Vietnam...........
