kevjohn Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 was not one of the sons of the Great Chalerm responsible for the toilets of Thailand? "I dreamt when I was a child that if I ever worked here at the Public Health Ministry I would make all the toilets in the country flush toilets," Wan Yoobamrung A picture says a thousand turds words. When I was a child I used to dream about being an astronaut or an explorer. Never once do I recall wanting to be involved with flush toilets. Maybe being involved with flush toilets is the catalyst to achieving what ever we wish to achieve. That is why you never became an astronaut.

SouthernMan3 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 One thing I find sub-optimal is places like Tesco Lotus there is a line of sinks in the bathroom, but curiously only one has a soap dispenser. This arrangement is common in brand new, modern bathrooms at various places. I don't get it. It's all based on hand-washing statistics. Really ? My Tesco is really clean !

fareastguy Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 "A total of 159 public toilets across the country have been honoured as good examples." How do you honour a bog? ..... -mel. You kneel in front of it & poor your heart out.. or lungs depending how much you've had to drink !! & they obviously failed to visit the "long drop" at our local temple!!

w11guy Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 A sad reflection on the state of a nation when this is a news item! I am amazed Yingluck hasn't done a runner to Australia before such an announcement. They also have these awards in UK - http://www.loo.co.uk/. And probably in many other countries. It's no reflection at all on the state of a nation. It's for people that manage/look after toilets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marquis22 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 They obviously didn't test the 'bus stop' halfway between CM and Udon Thani. Yes, I was wondering why no bus station toilets were in the list??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEL1 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I hope this is a preface of things to come. If they can clean up toilets, and give special honours for it, then maybe there may be a continuation into the HoParliament. There's plenty of turds, and other things full of shit, that need wiping away in there - and all the more commended if an award goes with it! -mel.
