Popular Post chrisfwilson Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hi and TGIF As I marvel at this wonderful place Thailand I have become increasingly aware that western society has been brainwashed into someone view of conformity. Case in point, I have always been told that toilet paper is for the toilet, primarily to clean oneself after No 2...Maybe the occasional use for blowing ones nose but generally for the toilet This is not the case in Thailand where toilet paper is just seen as tissue, to be used for a range of functions. Sitting on the beach at Cha -Am eating wonderful fresh crab and prawns you see little old ladies walking around selling toilet paper rolls to be used as hand tissue when eating. I think most of us would have a similar story and would be interested to hear about them Cheers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post benalibina Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 Usage of toiletpaper linked with western society brainwashing ??? Strange !!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Really, someone is confusing being taught their home culture as "brainwashing" but they say travel broadens ones perspective so that must include the revelation that tissue has other uses....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post soi41 Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 I seriously start to get worried for my fellow posters here!

farang000999 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 toilet tissue in the US and the toilet paper rolls used as napkins in Thailand have much different texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikoman Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) That is one issue pushed in my home country, " Charmin" and Mr. Whipple statement "Don't squeeze the Charmin" a campaign that lasted over 20 years as I remember. also the sales pitch also for Charmin "it best for 'bear' bottoms"! I would have to agree with the brainwashing statement by the OP! Cheers: Edited November 1, 2013 by kikoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Travel2003 Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 Well, there is a country where even naïve schoolchildren are forced to pledge oath of allegiance to their flag and country. No, I do NOT talk about Nazi Germany, but an up and running (somewhat) western country. That's' brainwashing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like plastic bags used as rain hats? Throwing your garbage on the ground and walking away? Burning pieces of inter tube rubber to get a cooking fire started? Using motorcycle mirrors to pop your zits in public? Sucking snot up your nose and swallowing it cuz blowing your nose is considered rude? You mean stuff like that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loong Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I can't be sure, but I doubt that you will see roll tissue sold and described as for cleaning after defecation. Westerners look at a toilet roll and see a toilet roll. Thais see tissue on a roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JoeThePoster Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 toilet paper rolls to be used as hand tissue when eating I hate it when I've to walk back to the dining table with my pants down to wipe my arse after a dump. Especially inconvenient when dining at fine restaurants. Their restrooms are always so far away. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers: Reminds me of yesterday--was watching some old cartoons with my nephew, and then there was one where Mickey Mouse (the one from the 1930s) eats some bug spray and it makes him trip, so all the bugs get big and all the plants, too... My nephew's response? "Can you eat those?" hahahahhahahhaah. You have to love it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
