This is, of course, a toilet...a western toilet...and a bum gun! You see them everywhere. Some (the names will remain confidential:)) thought this was too clean the bathroom, seeing as there is a drain in the floor. However, being inquisitive, I googled it and found out it was a bum gun. The "trigger" looks like a gun...and it's to clean your bum! Reading about it, it said you really need to check the water pressure before using it - so you don't walk out of the bathroom looking like you took a shower with your pants on! For women, it said to aim from front to back...and for both men and women, it said after you use the bum gun, to use a little toilet paper to dry off so you don't...well, you don't want to put your underwear back on and have it wet. Also, many Thai's carry a little soap to wash with the bum gun so you're totally feeling 'refreshed'!
Thalia went with some of her friends to lunch and a movie. We took off for MBK, another enormous mall...but where they had bought Thalia's cell phone...her cell phone that was locked...
Along the way, we saw this group playing. I could have stayed for a long time listening...they were SO good!
This is MBK...HUGE!
This was going on outside...not sure who or what it was, but there was singing and dancing...
I was on one of the many escalators...taking a photo of some of the other escalators... This place was a zoo! The big difference between MBK and the other 2 main malls we've been to (Siam Paragon and Central World) is that at MBK, there are tons (think there are 2000) little shops...side by side. Lizbeth and I had trouble keeping up with Joshua and Erica.
We were going to go back to Asiatique and show it to Joshua. But we didn't for 2 reasons: 1) It was pouring down rain...POURING! and 2) I wasn't feeling well at all. Not sure what it was, but I was bummed cause I just didn't feel good. I wanted to keep going because I couldn't stand the thought of wasting a minute. Anyway, we went to Siam Paragon to meet up with Thalia. We stayed there waiting for her to ride the BTS from her friends to us. Siam is a stop on the BTS and it's also a stop where you can transfer to a different line of the BTS. It's busy...very busy. We decided to eat there... Joshua and I went and ate at MOS burger...I wanted something plain - no spice - because of how I was feeling. Joshua likes MOS burger, so I knew it wouldn't be spicy.
After eating, we went all the way up to see the theater section. I'm not sure how many theaters are up there, but there's a lot. They have regular theaters (which they said are really nice)...and first class theaters, where they bring you your popcorn/drinks...have a buffet... give you a lounge to wait in until the movie starts. They have 3D and 4D theaters. The 4D's seats move...air/water, etc., blow in your face... We need to go to the movies before we leave.
All of these last 4 photos are from the theater section.
We came on back home...and watched 'Forest Gump'...
I wasn't feeling the best, but it was still another great day in Bangkok!

I hope you're better. I love you, Mom
The drink looks like Thai iced tea. It's very sweet. Looks like fun, minus the not-feeling-good part.
