The Thai Mall Experience is not a relaxing one. There is no quiet corner to enjoy a coffee.
It’s loud. Obnoxiously Loud.
Ads. Music. Music. Ads. Shop One is loud. Shop Two is Louder. Shop Three opens and the war begins.
Then the video games join the fray, live performances by people who should not be singing, TV’s blaring with no one watching. Then there’s the kid’s toy rides, each with it’s own obnoxious little ditty.
10 Million Voices scream for you attention, muting all intelligent thought.
A Glorious thing happened at Big C Extra (like a Super Walmart).
The power went out.
Instant Silence.
The heaviness lifted and we began to float. The kids stopped acting like animals. We could now talk without yelling. Intelligent thought returned. We all felt like the peaceful, calm human beings we normally are.
It lasted only a brief moment. The power came back on. One by one the Voices began to power up, again joining the Infamous Chorus of the Thai Mall.
We escaped as quickly as our feet would carry us.
