"Behind the Painting"

Thursday, April 12, 2001

Last night, Cat's mom took us to wai and eat. I ordered a fried noodle and Cat had a chicken salad. We got home at 1 am.

This morning I got up two times to use the bathroom, and Cat was planning to go to school at 6:30 am but we were too lazy to get up.

We went downstairs at 10 am and had breakfast. We ate chicken with rice or khao man gai. It is my absolute favorite, I could eat it every day.

After breakfast, we took showers and went to the movie theater. We watched a Thai movie called, “Behind the Painting.”

Behind the Painting Demonoid
This movie is about a young man who falls in love with an older married woman. It is his first true love and he refuses to give up on it, but things don’t always work out as planned. And many years later, they meet again with another chance to love again. 

They gave us a free CD soundtrack of the movie. To think of it, Thailand is a third country but they are always giving free things away to promote their products. This is something you don't see every day in the U.S.  They also have a variety of popcorn flavors and fountain drinks, and are way better than anywhere else. I also like the fact that when you purchased your movie tickets, they will ask you to select where you want to sit. And before every movie can begin, there is a video clip with the Thai national anthem depicting Thailand's king, his life and accomplishments. Everyone is ask to stand and pay their respect.

After the movie, we went to the Mall Bangkapi to find something to eat. We walked around the food court once but didn’t see anything tasty; so we drove to Tesco Lotus, and ordered papaya salad, pad thai, and pork fried rice. It cost 95 Baht, about 2 USD.

We then went to a book store inside Lotus, and I bought a book by Danielle Steel for 327 Baht. We had ice cream at Baskin Robbins too.
