I am currently reading Bangkok 8 by author John Burdett. Page-turner!!

Like Eliot Pattison, who writes the wonderful Inspector Shan series, he was a lawyer in Asia before writing novels, and while Pattison writes well about the Tibetan culture, John Burdett is very knowledgable about the Thai culture. Fascinating stuff. I am reading the Kindle Edition on my iPhone.

The Bangkok series was recommended to me by the same friend who recommended Inspector Shan.
