snoop1130 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Soi Hongnam: Sukhumvit Soi 7 has become the city center’s de facto public toilet By Laurel Tuohy Some resourceful soul tried to resolve the lack of toilets of the street by fashioning one out of a bucket. One rarely considered side street in Nana has become home to several pop-up bars each evening, drawing a mix of regulars, tourists, and working girls — and all without a bathroom in sight. Unless, of course, you count this DIY facility crafted out of a bucket, toilet seat, and shower curtain by some ingenious — and perhaps desperate — soul. The natural result of the bar minus toilet situation on the street has meant drinkers have used the sidewalk as their bathroom for the past few years. As one does.

lamyai3 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 The real Soi Hongnam is soi 9. No directions needed, just follow your nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsensam Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 i live in a different area of bangkok near a pleasant square, there are two public toilet blocks within 3-5 mins walk but the locals insist on using an area near and behind a telephone exchange box as their toilet. it's unpleasant for passers by and i pity the poor TOT guys who have to come and work on the wiring in the box. disgusting.

lovelomsak Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I remember down soi 11 a night they left a piece of cardboard against a fence. When the girls went to pee they held the cardboard up with one hand and squatted. They cardboard was to preserve dignity. Funny to watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmarlin Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 The end of Soi 11 is the public toilet for the mafia taxi drivers who park along the soi waiting to rip off tourist, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Sounds like there are several areas being used as public toilets off Sukhumvit. Must smell lovely... or does it just mix with the usual Bangkok whiff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 It has always amazed me how lazy some people are, as they will be in view of a washroom, but relieve themselves on the sidewalk to avoid walking that extra distance to the toilet. Disgusting! Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar God Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 What do you expect in a city with no public toilets? I was there yesterday and walked past 50 no littering signs and not one single trash can. At least it's easier to hold an empty bottle for an hour than a full bladder.

InMyShadow Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I remember my first trip to New York and the overpowering smell of urine in the side streets.So which one is 3rd world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natway09 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have been talking about this for 15 years ,,,, then Soi 13 where the poor maid from the tailor shop had to clean shit off the doorsteps every morning. As long as the police allow unlicensed portable bars to operate until sun up (they no doubt take their cut ) with no provision for the obvious this will remain. The walk down to Trendy is like a " Urea Soi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting! Not much different from the people who will drive around a parking lot for 10 minutes looking for a spot that's 25 meters closer to the door.

Kurtsie Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Asoke has it's wonderful Urea odor too between the 7/11 near Cowboy to the mail box near the Pullman every morning. Watched some quality Chinese tourists last night bring their screaming brats out of that 7/11 around 7pm and had them pee on the steps just outside. A few Thais said something, but the parents just stared at those saying anything. Just a normal evening these days...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
