Against the stark backdrop of Southeast Asia, where the vestiges of the Vietnam War still linger, Bangkok Nites follows Japanese
travelers and Thai women on the streets of Thaniya-Bangkok’s special red-light district for the Japanese-and traces the search
for a lost utopia. The production crew filmed in Bangkok, Isan (in northeastern Thailand), and Laos, covering a total distance of over
4,000 kilometers to get their shots and capture the thematic elements of prostitution, paradise, and colonial history. The third part
of a trilogy, following Flower Story Babylon (1997) and Guns of Babylon (2012), Bangkok Nites shines a new light on glocalization in a
Southeast Asian context
