Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks is the debut studio album by the Finnish rock band Hanoi Rocks, released in 1981.

Bangkok Shocks, Saigon Shakes, Hanoi Rocks was recorded in January 1981, between Hanoi Rocks' club shows. While the album was produced by Andy McCoy and Michael Monroe under the name "The Muddy Twins" (inspired by "The Glimmer Twins"), the album was recorded by Swedish Seppo Johansson, who worked at the studio.Ari Väntänen, Michael Monroe & Andy McCoy.
