markiv Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 This recent BBC article made me laugh.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6583067.stm I love Thailand for it's toilet sprayers or whatever you call them, but today I got caught short and had to use the loo in Central ( Kad Suan Kaow ), great clean toilets but alas no toilet sprayer, I can tell you I used well more than 1 sheet of loo paper..! So my answer to Sheryl Crow is, forget the toilet paper, toilet sprayers everywhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulysses G. Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 When I was in the Marine Corps we used to try to get down to one square of toilet paper in boot camp, but I never came close. If only we had Bunghole Squirters, life would have been so much easier (until they started rationing water)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunghole squirters - sheer luxury (said with best Monty Python impersonation) You and I have both been here long enough to have only had the small cube of soap, and an enamel water basin - always remember to use the left hand, because in those days sticky rice was the staple diet and eaten with the RIGHT hand. Never knew you were in the Marines. CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad if youre in a public toilet with no sprayer and only that cheap thin stuff. I love my sprayer, the water gets into places where songkran doesnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful, you might be overexciting some people on this forum....... Just what I needed. The heat had me feeling a tad enemic. Hasn't woken me up enough, though, to imagine what, exactly, an enema might complement. Edited April 24, 2007 by Rasseru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymor66 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 My thai wife and I are headed to the US next week and she is trying to figure out what she is going to do without a handy-dandy sprayer or a bowl scoop ! I told her to just use the TP and flush it down the toilet. She having a difficult time getting her head around that idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helicoptor Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 before coming to LOS I had never experienced these sprayers before, or least if I had I never game them a second thought can't do without them now BTW what a Sh*t thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a mystery of physics right their. Lets see, knees less than 90 degrees = shitty pants. Ankles more than 90 degrees = on you keester. I think only a person with the magic ability to squat in a rice patty and pick rice with out getting a wet butt could answer us that one. “ Semper Fidelis Ulysses !” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sriracha john Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The proper nomenclature, coined by the departed Gentleman Scamp over 2 years ago, is "Bum Gun".... The post below is nearly 2 years old and was made well after Gentleman Scamp first introduced it to Thaivisa: Faecal coliforms were also found everywhere _ on the floors, toilet seats, water cisterns, taps and door knobs. Installing one of Gentleman Scamp's "Bum Guns" in all public toilets would go a long into reducing the problem by putting all the nasties down into the commode itself, instead of on your own hands where it then goes onto everything.

BossHogg Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 i will never forget the scream father let out the first time he used the bum gun in my house in Thailand.The jet is rather high powered and it appeared he was suffering from a bout of the " Farmer Giles " at the time. I pointed out he was getting a real Thailand experience yet he seemed strangely unimpresed and not at all gratefull of the free enema! some people!

Dustoff Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 ~ Oh goodie, we're have a poo-poo party! In spite of many decades of grass roots level travel all around the world, I have never gotten the squirter or ladle thing down. For one, I have a knee that locks any time I do a deep squat which makes it almost impossible for me to get back up - this has me envisioning some poor Thai crapper-cleaner finding my bones in there. The other is there is something disturbing about watching the locals wiping that wet and something less than sanitary left hand on their shirt/dress, not t mention the door handle. I resolve some of this by always having either the afore-mentioned babywipes or toilet paper with me and, most importantly, expanding my 'holding tank' thru years and years of practice until I can find a sit-down toilet or a downed tree trunk. BTW, the American Consulate has what seems to be American toilet paper! Woo-woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dan Sai Kid Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 The worst toilet - imho - in Thailand is the Topland Plaza toilet in Phitsanulok - they have the worst combo - squat and paper - no water in sight! Nasty, nasty toilet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
