Oct. 9, 2009 -- BANGKOK, THAILAND: Shopping for a phone number in the Mahboonkrong (MBK) shopping center in Bangkok, Thailand. MBK is an immense six story shopping mall with department stores, restaurants, a hotel and thousands of small shops and stalls. It is more like a vast indoor market than a shopping mall. Thais are firm believers in numerology and frequently try to buy phone numbers they think will bring them the best luck. Photo by Jack Kurtz / ZUMA Press
