(If the story sounds familiar there is a reason. It was wrote using the song as it's plot. I issued a challenge and this is my take on the song. I hope you enjoy these 2000words.)

Looking up at the neon lit darkness I with all my heart wish I was home. I should be sitting at my desk working on my novel... maybe.
But NO! I'm in Siam reporting on a Chess tournament. Dragged half way around the world to this stinking place to watch and report on a chess match.
And now I'm being dragged into this place as well.
Following this fool the boss stuck me with into a place called the 'Golden Cloister', I can't even get full into the door when the smell of the place hits me. A sick mixture of perfume, stink from the rivers, and sex, mixed with an overpowering smell of smoke.
Every type smoke under the sun, or the neon as the case is.
As I walk to the bar I feel a bit of silk brush my arm. Almost like an angel's feather. I look down to this 'angel' that's sliding up next to me.
"You look hot want something to cool you off? Maybe something make you hotter?"
Her hand brushes across my hip. For a second I worry about pickpockets.
Then she has a hand full of my cock. Her finger pressed hard through my pants rubbing at the bulge as it starts to swell.
"Why me?" I think as I suppress the urge to pull away from her. Half these girls aren't girls and I can't tell for sure with this one yet. "Why me?"
I could be back home. Hell I could be reporting a Mets game if the Boss wanted me to do sports writing. Chess? What the hell do I know about Chess?
Hell Murray at the head office was begging...on his knees begging for this job. "Nope you need the overseas exposure. Think of it as a paid vacation. Do the tourist thing while your there."
Tourist? Muddy rivers, reclining Buddha's.
"I don't even like Thai food!" I think as she continues to rub me the wrong way. I can see the cameraman 'Topper' watching me out the corner of the office gossip window. If I don't let this little Asia flower tempt me I'll be a laughing stock back at work within a day. I look at the girl he's got a hand full of. 'Girl'... yea right...Two shots of gin down already and I can see that isn't what he's holding. I look back down at my little 'angel'
Yea maybe. I feel my zipper do a downslide then her fingers are firm and soft around me. She strokes with a skill that is unnatural.
Chess? The game of kings! The only king I know about from here is Yul Brynner and he isn't here. Now if he were I would have a story given that he's been dead since 85.
"You like?"
Looking down at her little round face framed with the blackest of hair. For a few seconds I do want her. I don't even care what she might be.
Fuck it that's the gin talking.
"I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine." I tell her taking my third shot.
She grins at me.
"I change your mind. Come I give you sample then you decide."
I see 'Topper' grinning at me from across the bar. I'm already hearing his snide ass remarks. I'll be the talk of the water cooler.
