There has been a few debates about the squat loo and the battle on how to use them. Now I thought the Farang style loo was common sense, but apparently not for some !!!!!!!!!!!!

People who normally use squat loos getting the use of farang style loos wrong, has everything to do with Thailand ...

When in thailand, I squat.

I don´t sit like the sign says, unless i´m in a posh place or a farang friends western style house.

With my back slightly straighter from proper squatting, I find my pooh exits easier...

Thanks Totster,

The antagonistic mittheimp does post the most stupid oneliners most times, and if he looked at the writting on the sign he would understand its KHYMER which is used in North Thailand and the Borders.

( Bet you Mods have him flagged )

totster

He's not antagonistic either.

Hi CF,

Remember a long time back here on this forum there was a " you know you have been in Thailand to long, when " thread ?

One of the answers was, When the footprints on the toilet seat are yours

Squat loo is fine ..

have u ever been turtured by natural punish when u are driving on traffic jam road?

that time u dont think about what's kind of loo ... just a loo!!

I find there is less of a SPLOSH when squatting..

Is it something to do with the angle of emission, or the effect of gravity

related to the distance travelled, and force of propulsion.

Is antagonism similar to constipation

I think they're related...

Yes you are.

At the cabaret show in CM there are signs similar to these.They put these signs up to lengthen the life of the dunny seat....

BTW, mittheimp, the Cabaret show is in Chiang Mai.Chiang Mai is in Thailand.

Please indulge me if this has come up before............but I truly wonder what is the best way to manage trousers whilst using a squat loo. And trousers without zipper pockets to boot!

Take em right off.. put em somewhere safe and dry.. it's the only way..

totster

Yes i take it right off too, My squatting skills need improving.

Still need to put my hand on the back wall because it seems as im gonna fall in all the time

Donz Wow... your hand(s) on the back wall!!

ooooohhh, u need to practice yoga to do this, dont u? its quite tough for me tho...

Excuse me, but i imagine the position of squatting w one hand on the back wall.... well, u need triangle shape squat loo... yea?

ive also got a cramp while squatting a few times, makes going to the loo a difficult experience at times

kayo look here mate,

straight up here and no messing around,

when my good self has to back one out, i'll squat, sit or stand on my frigging head if i have to.

jesus mate,

when you got to go, and you got to go now,

its a no brainer.

anyway kayo,

nice work keeping your back straight when you are snapping one off, as its good for your posture

cheers old mate

how does a punter get on when his knee's are kangaroo edward ?

i suppose you would have to <deleted> into your,

sorry punters,

im leaving now.

Farang using squat loo, never realize it was a problem until reading it on TV.

Quite funny.

As for the OP, I think the sign was to tell people not to squat rather than teaching them how to use.

Does anyone really sit down on a public toilet? I never do unless the place looks really really clean.

Still I put toilet paper on the seat first.

So the sign is actually for people like me, I guess.

At the farang style (complete with bum gun) toilets we have at work, you wouldn't believe the number of cracked toilet seats from Thais who squat on the seats without lifting them first...

Important debate this!

Thais seem to be more flexible at the ankles than Westerners. I cannot squat to save my life, and I'm not overweight at all. The many times when I've had to use a service station toilet facility; I am arms flailing about everywhere, and trying to prevent myself depositing one in my trousers.

How come there is never any toilet paper / tissue in these service stn loos?

yes ive been to kmart,

bought some degreaser there once.

urr, umm, the reason they dont have bog paper is because the punters knock it all off.

If the somchais squat so close to the pan how come they miss so often or is this some sort of dirty luddite protest? heard a tale about a welshman about to teach his first class in some temple school and faced with a squatter he duly dumped his full pay load into the back of his cream coloured strides. Five minutes to class1 What would you do?

Because they use water to clean. Most public toilet don't have paper.

I carry around toilet paper anywhere I go
