A typical Thai Bathroom…


In Thailand you will get bathrooms in unique style. You need to have proper knowledge about using Thai bathrooms. A venture in the Thai bathroom is really exciting. Don’t try to be smart while you are going to a Thai bathroom. You may not know how the hot water and flush really works there. Thai toilet is also known as squatter. This is like a hole in the ground and this can create a great confusion for the westerners. Sometimes the Thai people make fun of the western people because of this reason. Many people become nervous after seeing the style of Thai toilet.

You won’t find any toilet paper in Thai toilet. Don’t be scared, a bucket of water will be there to serve your purpose. Your left hand and water will be used for the purpose. Don’t feel nervous if you need to shake left hand of a person in Thailand. For your convenience you can carry toilet paper along with you but where would you dispose it that’s a question. Flushing in Thai toilets is not like western toilets and it can create some clogging if you dispose it in the toilet.

Usually Thai people take shower thrice a day. In Thailand the weather is very hot and humidity is also high. So people take bath as much times as possible. The Thai people who are not taking bath thrice are considered as dirty. But this behaviour is only common when the Thais live in Thailand. When a Thai person comes to America, he behaves like any other common man in America and takes bath once or at best twice. The water is also very cold in Thailand. While traveling in Thailand it’s always better to carry a few baht for using public bathrooms. All the public bathrooms are pay bathrooms and that’s why very clean.
