Bali Hai expanded without adequate restrooms

PATTAYA:--With Bali Hai Pier busier than ever, its shortage of public toilets has become a crisis.

 

More people use the South Pattaya pier than ever now that speedboats have been consolidated there, instead of loading all their passengers from Pattaya Beach. But the order to increase passengers at the pier was issued without proper foresight on planning about restroom facilities.

 

Complaints grew after news circulated that there are brand-new, never-used public restrooms in the Bali Hai Service Center, a white elephant of a building built for the International Fleet Show in 2017 and never opened.

 

City hall still hasn’t opened those facilities and, instead, has brought in mobile toilet buses to serve tourists. None are accessible to the disabled.

This means thinking and planning-never expect logical thinking or accurate planning in Thailand-or anyone getting trouble for f***ing up

Usually you expect public buildings to meet certain criteria before they are approved. Irrelevant rules like emergency exits, fire-doors,  escape routes etc etc. Toilets relative to use probably too. 

Didn't the main airport have issues with toilets when it opened?

Nope and restaurants with now cleaning facilities is SOP. Not to mention lack of parking. ????

Don't forget the gender neautral restroom for the ones ''transitioning''

Par for the course!

The Chinese don't use restrooms.

Why dont disabled people use catheters and urinary catchment bags?  I used to use them when driving long distances.  If its #2, then you have a problem though obviously.  governments cant solve all the problems in the world

Something like one toilet for every 7 or 8 boarding gates.
