I love the theme color, "orange" i have been quite into this color lately.
But what i really like was the toilet doors.
Umm.... surprise??? It wasn't the interior design or the smell or sanitary that really impressed me.
It was the door!!!
Even more lost to see the picture on the toilet door? A figure of a man holding a rabbit?!?
It is actually a Thai metaphor.
In the old days when people travel mostly by wagon or cars for a long distance. Some time nature calls along the way but in those old days there were no gas stations also being too straight was a little rude. So people created metaphors to makes thing more complicate.
For the boys they said they spot a rabbit and would like a little hunt, so they go and "shoot the rabbit"
A girl case is more romantic telling how beautiful the flowers on the roadside are and want to "Pick some flowers"
Ironically both activities are intend to take lives either an animal or plant.

The womens toilet door had a girl holding flowers figure similar to this but i didn't dare to try taking any pictures.
