KOH SAMUI: -- Photos circulating on line of dirty and unsafe toilets at Pru Chaweng Park in Koh Samui have sparked enough public outrage that officials are considering moving the facilities.

Images of used needles, condoms and faeces went viral on July 5, after a user posted them on Facebook. The ten-toilet public restroom is located in a public park and falls under the purview of the Koh Samui Municipality.

The park is a popular destination for families and has a large field used for festivals and ceremonies.

Koh Samui Deputy Mayor Muensil Poonsawat said the municipality was aware of the situation, but that the blame rests with "teenagers" for vandalizing the facility at night.

Wouldn't it be great if someone were to develop a camera that would record video and send it out over the interweb in real time, and sensors that would turn on lights if there were any movement, and set off alarms if there's a loud noise like you'd get when porcelain breaks?

Guess we'll just have to wait until someone invents them...

Why not fix it at put some security cameras in , where the hell does the money go guys

I love your sarcasm

There we go~blame! No responsibility for those who are responsible. The cleaning people are still getting paid from 2 years ago, but they are nowhere to be found. Wait, maybe they will turn themselves in?

Looks like the Chaweng Lake opposite Central S/C.

Foulest smelling toilet award year after year, closely followed by the mobile, bus based toilet facility it was replaced by for large Events at the lake.

Welcome to Thailand.
