There's a 1980s song with Bangkok's full ceremonial name as its only lyric. It also sounds like an incantation, so it's still a fun listen, even if one doesn't intend to put in the effort to remember the full name.
I wonder if the black American jazz musician in the book is inspired by the real-life singer, Coco LaShaun. She used to be the resident vocalist in a few 5* hotels around Bangkok, including the Mandarin Oriental, but I'm not sure where she is now.

Those are such interesting information. I will look up the song and Coco LaShaun. Thank you for sharing these.
