snake24 Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I checked into this nice hotel suite called amanta on ratchada. So when doing number 2 realized that they didn't have the bum gun only TP and that sucks, i examined the wall closer and realized they somehow removed the gun fixture and also the opening where the water pipe used to be was also sealed up. Also recalled staying in the hard rock cafe hotel on pattaya in 2004 and they only had paper. Is it true that international hotel chains in Thailand like hilton for example that aren't thai hotel chains and more upmarket only follow western style bathrooms no bum guns? That's gross to tell u the truth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDrinker Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Go to sleep and leave the shitty sheets for the maid in the morning. I'm sure they'll get the gist in the end. Alternatively you can wash your arse in the shower as we had to do at the Dorchester....(really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) I use the paper. I guess I haven't 'crossed over' and became a Thai. Lots of Thai's use paper as well. If you really hate the paper that much you could do it the traditional way... Edited October 20, 2013 by ukrules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you think all 7/11, Mini Mart, Tesco, the list is endless, etc sell it - just in case a foreigner happens to stumble by in need of some ? Pulling your couple of layers of clothes on when you're as wet as if you just stepped out of the shower is just not what's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HeavyDrinker Posted October 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2013 Thais tend to use it for other things. Have you never been to a Thai restaurant? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) It is very annoying to discover a bumgunless toilet. Especially when you contemplate the real reason behind this evil scheme: They think most farang clientele are accustomed to tissue paper. And right they are! But there is still hope! Since I had to lower my standards down to lo-so lodging. The guns magically re-appeared everywhere [edit] I am not really in favour for using a hotel's: shared-bumgun, anyway.

NeverSure Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I hate bum guns. I really hate the bucket and dipper. What am I supposed to do? Get up and pull my pants up with my dirty hand while the water runs down my leg and wets my clothes? Now, where's my own personal fingernail brush and some soap? Geez, why not use TP and shower and change clothes a couple of times a day? Maybe there's a reason that TP is the standard in civilized countries.

Eeeehhh.......call me stupid but the idea of using paper for wiping my arse dry after cleaning it, rather than smearing excrement, occurred to me on my third day in Thailand. Just wait, it'll come to you as well... Edited October 20, 2013 by Forethat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rofl, you actually don't know how to use a bumgun? How long have you been staying in Thailand? Flash course : - lean on the side a bit - aim at your arsehol_e with the gun and press the button - dry it with a few sheets of toilet paper Et voila! That's so much more hygienic and convenient than the "civilised" way of smearing **** all over using half a roll of TP.

Popular Post Dancealot Posted October 20, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2013 Flash course :- lean on the side a bit - aim at your arsehol_e with the gun and press the button - dry it with a few sheets of toilet paper - always farmiliarise yourself with the position of a strange bum gun before taking the seat. A left handed bumgun can cause a world of trouble for the right handed man. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kikoman Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 In my opinion a much more sanity way to do the job, and yes toilet paper is used to dry up after.Toilet paper fulfill a lot of functions in Thailand, Most outside of the restrooms. Is a must for the Scot's in Kilts don't leave skid marked on your new wife's wedding dress, poor way to start a life together! Cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand has great bum guns. People who don't like bum guns have never lived in Thailand. How long does it take to switch over, a couple of weeks for the smart guys a month or two for the old guys but they all eventually switch. It's a better mouse trap.

samran Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 I find it funny those who equate TP with civilisation... If I managed to get sh!t all over my hand, my first port of call wouldn't be to clean it off with TP and leave it at that. Granted, while I don't eat with my arse, I do a fair bit of talking through it. As such, water is a wonderfull thing for cleaning turd off skin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
