cardinalblue Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Thais don’t view it as toilet paper since it is not to them… what I don’t like about cheap tissues is exactly that….provide a quality paper napkin or go reusable and employ more migrants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 2 hours ago, Lacessit said: The only differences between toilet paper, and the more expensive paper serviettes, paper towels, and Kleenex tissues, are in appearance and packaging. Not true at all, especially the cheap TP. But whether it's toilet paper or napkins, the low quality stuff shreds to pulp and stick to my fingers when I'm wiping off greasy food. Then I have to find some water to get rid of the pulp. Then I wipe my hands in my pocket to get rid of the water. I have no objection to TP on the table, as long as it's not the real cheap stuff that shreds like that. And in fairness, some of the napkins on offer are just as bad.

Digitalbanana Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 15 hours ago, rexpotter said: I will never get used to this. Why? Is it because you mostly use it on your ass? That would be your own bizarre habit. For the rest of us its just tissue paper that has multiple usages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is what they think is acceptable for customers, I question what is acceptable for the kitchen. While working with AOT I was able to meet some high class Thai's. They did not eat at those food troughs, never. They warned me to do the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thais, most of which have probably never used it for what you use it for have no problem with it. That's the only opinion that matters.

Jaxxper Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 These are great to have dotted around when you have a BBQ. Means there is always low cost tissue around for guests, for those messy ribs and chops. At the end of the day it’s just tissue paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) We westerners call it toilet paper, in reality it is just general tissue paper with the only difference for kitchen paper is it being thicker layered and for that reason, more expensive. Add to that that they never even use toilet paper in the toilets itself, they must be disgusted even more than we are, by the fact we use that to wipe our ass off without using any water, having done number 2.

No, if like me, you are posh, it is called toilet tissue. Toilet paper refers to last night's Evening Standard cut up into useable squares..........🧐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burma Bill Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) 19 hours ago, Upnotover said: It's better than a bum gun, far too messy at the table. Very much so. If I had to use the toilet in a restaurant when going for a "pony and trap", I used to tear off a few sheets from the table dispenser to use instead of the bum gun or plastic scoop in a tub of water! Before any one has a go at me for using toilet paper - it is my choice!. No further comment from me.

Here's what AI has to say: Yes, there can be a difference in hemorrhoid incidence when using a bum gun versus toilet paper. Here's why: Toilet paper: Wiping with toilet paper, especially rough varieties, can irritate the anal area, which can worsen hemorrhoids or even cause them. The friction can cause inflammation, bleeding, and itching. Bum gun: A bum gun, also called a bidet sprayer, provides a gentler cleaning method using water. This can help soothe hemorrhoids and reduce irritation. Studies have shown that using a bidet sprayer can improve hygiene and reduce hemorrhoid symptoms.

borderhopper2005 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 ＞Toilet paper on the dinner table I can't see any problems in it. Toilet rolls are very versatile things. And their use is not limited to toileting alone. If you feel that much psychological resistance, you might be unfit for the (inexpensive) local Thai diner. Better eat somewhere else where you have to pay heaps more for one meal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their use is not limited to toileting alone. Thai food vendors often do their best to keep their price reasonable/affordable unless they are targeting short-term foreign tourists who know little about prices in this kingdom. And their efforts needs cost cutting. If you feel that much psychological resistance, you might be unfit for the (inexpensive) local Thai diner.
