LennyW Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Obviously had the desired effect, he eventually got them both changed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGImInPattaya Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Lucky he didn't damage the floor...could have been an expensive re-tiling job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 At least the second toilet was only covered in cement. Could have been some thing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Perhaps this man did not know that he is supposed to try out all merchandise before paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaptainrob Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 That model of one piece MOYA toilet suite has molding holes in the rear which are left unsealed by porcelain glaze in many instances. A friend had 2 replaced FOC by Chiang Mai Hangdong HomePro despite cement/silicon residue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGImInPattaya Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Perhaps this man did not know that he is supposed to try out all merchandise before paying for it. Reminds me of a certain scene from the movie Jackass. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlQaholic Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I would have been better if it had been a "Farang", then it would have been all over Thai social media and Thais would have had a great day ranting about "crazy Farang", now its only business as usual because it's a Thai.

wpcoe Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 So "HomePro at Big C Xtra on the Central Pattaya Road" (from the article) is now a "South Pattaya Home Improvement Store" (from the headline)? Duly noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrTuner Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Just downgrade to the trusty old hole in the floor. Hi-Tech such as farang crappers are notoriously unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basil B Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 "You sold me a crap bog!". Sounds like a load of CRAP to me. When I saw the headlines I knew this would end up being a topic full of CRAP replies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fookhaht Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) A lot of car-rage, bar-rage, judge-rage, land-rage, toilet-rage stories lately. Is Thai society getting uptight? Edited January 28, 2016 by Fookhaht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
