that depends on the size of your bathroom.

The only outward opening doors that I'm aware of are the entrances to commercial buildings. It is a fire safety measure and the doors are usually glass with a metal frame and labeled Push/Pull.

Or whether you have armed guards standing outside the bathroom.

What makes a toilet handicapped? Does it have MS or perhaps Cerebal Palsy or even Downes Syndrome
I prefer the term Disabled which is now commonly used in the UK as the people that fall into this category are less able than the rest of us they most definitely are not handicapped
For the record my wife has cerebal palsy and she is not in anyway handicapped
Rant over!!!

 

Sorry for the delay in replying to your "Rant" but I have been on holiday.

The sign on the door makes it handicapped.

hand·i·capped

ˈhandēˌkapt/

adjective

 

1. offensive

   having a condition that markedly restricts one's ability to function physically, mentally, or socially.

   "a special school for handicapped children"

   synonyms:

   disabled, incapacitated, disadvantaged, crippled; More

   • NORTH AMERICAN

     relating to or specifically designed for people with a physical or mental disability.

     "organizers have created handicapped access in the form of wheelchair ramps"

      

I didn't write the sign or make up the definition I merely commented that the handicapped toilets

i have seen had sliding doors, glad your wife is not handicapped, but not sure if she is glad she

has you as a husband good luck?

when the door opens to the inside, is blocked by the toilet bowl and there is not space enough for the person in dire need to pass and take care of the needs.

It is not a problem Naam but it was not me who asked that question, it was the guy who objected to the term "handicapped"

being used.

i have to admit that seeing for the first time a sign "handicapped" toilet seemed odd to me. but obviously this expression is used and one gets used to it.

It's the opposite actually.

 

An inwardly opening door gives easier access to emergency services entering from outside by breaking down the door. If it was outwardly opening the frame would act as a stronger brace to the door and make it hard to break down.

Two sides of the same coin, when the house is on fire it's nice to know that the door has nothing preventing it opening. Same applies to opening the door to somebody, knocking them off the front step with the door isn't polite.

Why are ALL lights in my new house connected the wrong way?? They are constant under current while in the west the current goes through the switch....not the null-wire like in Thailand. And my house is built 5 years ago by a huge developer.

 

The Thai just do something and if no good they say mai pen lai.

 

 

The electric should be cut at the switch here also - perhaps someone switched wires in main panel (or indeed never checked).  Old florescent lamps (much used here) take on a life of there own if switch does not kill power and it becomes quite obvious something is wrong.

Presumably you know how your own door opens and don't block it to prevent it opening inwards in case there's a fire?? Especially if it would block entry to the fire services??

bathroom/toilets door opening to the inside

case closed!

Please watch this instructional video on outward opening toilet doors. 

 

 

I suspect this question is an exercise in seeing how many people will seriously answer a dumb question!

Hey, judging by the nr of replies and nr of discussions that can be found through google I think it's a pretty good question. Or... Maybe there's just tons of dumb people like myself everywhere... Oh no, now i replied to a trollolol

I want out, because if its a small toilet i need to squeeze myself in when the door opens inwards

I would be interested to know how a single cold water tap could be connected

up the wrong way?

99.9% of Thai households only have cold water taps.

There are also countries in the West who do it that way, you can't get a big shock off it anyway.

Mines a hot tap in the day but a cold tap at night, pretty clever really.
