BANGKOK, Thailand (CNN) -- Viva Las Bangkok? It seemed as such in Thailand, as Elvis Presley impersonators gyrated and crooned with slicked-back hair and flashy costumes to pay tribute to the singing legend 22 years after his death on August 16, 1977.

Jierasak Pinsuwan speaks no English, but has sung Elvis tunes for 16 years. Vasu Sangsingkeo has no problem with the language. He attended Oxford University in England.
