Without threads, you don't need a strand (the strand is implicit).

But, even without threads, you still would need to make sure that the 
read or write operation is completed before issueing your next request. So,

socket.async_read(...);    // OK
socket.async_write( ... ); // OK
socket.async_read( ... );  // Potential error: 1st async_read may be 
still in progress
