Toilet Paper, To Flush Or Discard

[thaifkrlim]

why do you throw your feces stained toilet paper in the bin beside the toilet bowl, instead of flushing it down together with your still-hot-defecation produce, since you know it causes a major reek, bad for public sanitation.

for the benefit of the public, if you choose neither one, you can fold it up and put it in your pocket, bring it back home.

even the very expensive and high grade bio-nano air refreshener cum odour remover purchased from the high class specialised superstore will not neutralise the putrid decaying waste in the bin, but the accidental concoction actually produces an adulterated stench of flatulent french parfume

[chiang mai]

We do that because there are very few sewerage treatment plants in Thailand and even fewer that can breakdown the non-biodegradability tissue. personally I reckon Thai's are to be commended for separating the issues, no pun or play on words intended!

Why do you use toilet paper when there are perfectly fine bum guns available?

Just curious, not really sure I want to know any more.

[Boater]

i never use the bins, and i hate seeing the bins !

[chiang mai]

Boater, you're polluting the country, whatever were you thinking of!

Paper is such a waste.

Bum-guns or bowls, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterward.

[Moonrakers]

no need to use paper

[qualtrough]

Bum guns are the greatest thing since sliced bread. Never, ever, use TP here and hate it when I have to when I go back home for visits.

[chiang mai]

You seem to be talking about those hose guns next to the toilet, used to wash the floors, are you suggesting they have a secondary purpose....

as far as i know , all paper toilet paper are biodegradable, how does one pollute the country by flushing tissue paper down the bowl, being more politically incorrect than polluting the atmosphere and irritating people with the foul smell of toxic excretion on paper

[jeanpierre]

take paper with me

selll second hand

Yes, human fecal matter is toxic but that does not mean that if you ate a spoonful it would kill you immediately. Toxicity is measured by many ways, minor and major, one by inhalation exposure, and our fecal matter is full of chemicals that our bodies chose not to absorb

[Moonrakers]

Are we really going to discuss eating shit?

[Chivas]

The Paper is going down the toilet with all the other crap.

Back in the UK have seen crap paper in bins-its disgusting.

[travelmann]

selll second hand

Yeah right on I mean its got 2 sides and 2 unused edges that could still be used.....................wasters, anyway have you seen Thai toilet tissue?? you only have to look at it and it falls apart.

[travelmann]

well most people talk it here so why not???

That would be NipponVisa....

I wanna know who washes the bum guns after you have used it? Reason enough to use tissue and flush it.

Oh, you mean putting the tissue in the basket means it will go off to some biodegrable recycling type facility unlike when I flush it? Goodness me, what was I thinking all this time.

[afarang]

Wow, don't you understand? , there is NO sewage system in Thailand.It is all septic tanks.They cannot handle toilet paper, cannot process it..All it does is block up the system .Causes big problems. I cannot fathom why people want to use T.P. The gun is so much better .makes you much cleaner. I had to go back to Oz, the Govt. said I had to spend 2 years there. First thing I did was buy a gun.T.P. hurt!!! T.P is environmentally a disaster.

[bkkjames]

So now I know the reason for flooding. Shame on all you ass whipers. Ok smartie pants, why do they sell the stuff then? Don't tell me its really to be used only on the tables in lieu of actual napkins at cheap restaurants?

Spare a thought for the rubbish collectors as well, imagine if we just binned it as you suggest-them looking inside for plastic bottles and only finding your skid marks.

I assume you know that a bum gun is't used the same way you use toilet paper.

[bkkjames]

Have you watched one of those tv shows that does testing on germs in kitchens and bathrooms? You will be unpleasantly surprised how much fecal matter ends up on your toothbrush.

Is the right answer.

[bkkjames]

Yes we know toilet paper, shopping bags, cars etc are bad for the enviroment.

I gave up cars so I can wipe my ass.

Must be that they use a Karcher bumgun than if it ends up on their toothbrush.

thanks for the comedy commentary james !

If nothing else, I bet you don't look at your toothbrush the same ever again

Why would they close it? We are in thailand and its an everyday issue (for most). Granted not as exciting as nfl football withdrawl suffered by true subscribers, but a compelling topic nonetheless.

I am just surprised JT hasn't come along and offered to do a poll on it. Spray? Wipe and bin or wipe and flush, none of the above?
