Shoot the bridges, go to India. Stop in Bangkok on the way and look up the silk merchant's daughter who knows every ecstatic secret the old ways can teach.

One kingpin of the racket is Big Boss Ma (not his real name), a Thai gangster of Chinese descent who funnels mainland Chinese through Bangkok. Seated in the lotus position on a teak sofa at home in Mae Sai, a northern Thai town, Big Boss exudes confidence and affluence.
