Toilet humour?

Post by JimboPSM » April 30, 2008, 11:16 pm

Breaking News from The Nation:
Only 20 per cent of public toilets meet hygiene standard

A national survey by Public Health Ministry reveals that only 20 percent of public toilets across country pass the hygiene standard.

The survey had been conducted in 2007 to ask member of public about their pleasure to use public toilet. The survey found 40 percent of people are pleasure to use public toilet

The Nation
  • I wonder what "the hygiene standard" actually is :-k

Ya' know, nobody has ever told me that they find public toilets "pleasurable". I wonder who it was to whom those conducting the survey asked.

Toilet Standards WHO.(south east asia)

Guidelines on hygiene standards of Thailand’s public toilets are
grouped in three parts. Health/Accessibility/Safety.
----------------------------------
The health part is composed of the hygienic quality of the facilities, e.g. toilet bowls, seats, floor, sinks,

faucets and mirrors. Also important is good ventilation without undesirable odor. Soaps are always available
for hand- washing and there should be regular cleaning and maintenance schedules.

The accessibility part covers the provision of toilets for men and women, elderly people, pregnant
women and disabled or handicapped persons. The facilities must be ready for services at all hours when
establishments are in operation.

The safety part covers safety from accident and crime, e.g. toilets are located conveniently and should
not be in a crime risk spot and separate facilities must be provided for men and women.

The floor must be
dry and lighting facilities adequate.
Main components addressed in public toilet development were
Architecture: Public toilet designs are appropriate, cost effective, user-friendly, simple technology, easy to maintain and look attractive.



Behavior: People practice good personal hygiene and abide by the rules and regulations of keeping the toilets clean



Cleaning: Manpower and other resources for cleaning toilets are available at all times as are soaps,water , tissue, sanitary napkins.


Disposal: The mechanism for disposal of wastes generated within the public toilets is in place and
functioning all the time. People involved in disposal are knowledgeable about the HAS standards and comply with them.

LOL

knock knock..WHO's there

With that as a standard it seems to be a remarkable feat of statistical engineering that 20% of public toilets were actually able to meet it :-k

Good bit of research BM =D>

I find the humid heat don't help matters in quite a lot of Thai Toilets, it seems to exaggerate the p!ss fumes somewhat.

Oh yes - Public Toilets. No doubt the water buckets and, if they bother to provide them, the hand-held toilet sprays (or "garden hoses" as I prefer to call them) don't really help much as they continually soak the floor. You'd have to think twice about dropping your pants too close to the floor in some of the public facilities (maybe the odd private one too [-X ).

I'm trying to promote a new product to replace the traditional hand-held sprays, hopefully in public facilities as well as private bathrooms. It's a bidet adapter and it fits underneath the toilet seat (assuming there is one :D ) and, essentially, it converts the toilet into a combination bidet / toilet. Simply disconnect the flexible hose from the old spray head and attach it to the new bidet adapter. Much more civilized. Here are links to pictures of the product:

Does anyone think these bidet adapters might sell in Thailand ?
PM or email me with your thoughts or if you're interested in buying one.

:-k Soooo...... After looking at your website ( not informative to say the least) and the photo's provided 8-[ ...You are trying to replace the Thai garden hose with a water jet which appears to be at a fixed working angle (please don't tell me that this angle can be modified to suit each indervidual user by placing ones hand in to the toilet bowl to adjust as ness. :yikes: )
It appears to me...that...having only the one water jet, placed at the rear of the toilet rim , is very limited to its cleaning capability :?: ......Sooooo....if a lady wishes to urinate (p1ss) then use your product for cleansing afterwards ..... does she have to get off the toilet, turn round 180', re-seat herslf so that the water jet is now pointing at the correct area of cleansing required :-k
So is your product only capable of rectum washing :Huh:
Why try to change a product that is multi-directional ( even if only by aiming by hand) and can also be used for cleaning the rim and floor when us men happen to aim a little off target?
IMO......Stick with the Thai shower head/garden hose...add an ajustable spray head similar to normal showers, and a finger controlled water pressure feed.....base your company here and have the products made in Laos...Then market them back in Farang land :!: ....... Just my 2 pence worth :lol: :lol:

I hate to agree with people all the time but Panick has it in a nut shell.
With my hand held garden hose I can do the necessary and clean the tiles after all the TW's friends have come visiting straight from the farm.
It removes muddy footprints, flushes waste and leaves me fresh for Roller Blading.
What more could one ask?

Hang on this sounds like a Tampon advertisement :lol: :lol:

Very fair comments by Panick and Roy to which i agree, can't see them being a big hit in Thailand especially Issan area, don't think you will get Thai's to change the way they use the hong narm ,I also like the Hand Held sprays great for washing down the tiles around the toilet area and washing over dirty feet and a blast up the Rusty Sheriffs Badge can be a giggle, also where the handle is on your product is likely to get splashed with Urine and that can't be good for hygiene,And thats where the Thai Hand Held Spray would come in handy to wash off the splashback..... i don't know about anyone else but my hands don't go anywhere near the rear on the toilet...!!
And remember lots of Thai's have a squat down 'Gary Glitter' so that is a big percentage you can't reach, would i buy one ....no sorry john, Good luck with it anyspray. i mean way. #-o

Apart from the real convenient hose the lot down method for the farm (everything in solid concrete and tile), you can do the tractor there too...

it comes back to when you are travelling and you want a clean squat...

I have been in some that the crap is spread right across the floor :( :( :(

You could put in the standard western which if kept clean is a pleasure, but then teach thai farm people how to approach when they encounter the alien on the trip to the big city#-o ](*,)

The good ones are where there is a full time attendent. It's never a problem to unload a 3 hour trip load with releif if the young lady is cleaning at the same time. The family knows them as the loo's we use throu to Bangkok are always clean...Jiff/Jet are usually always good.

Jiff/Jets have clean toilets? File that one. Man, lots of useful info in this forum.

In town, anyone else notice that the toilets way in the back of Robinson's at the complex are exceptionally clean AND have paper towels? See the attendants in there keeping things spic and span. It's a pleasure to take a dump there. :D

amazing how we remember what toilets are nice. a necessity when out and about, just in case, need to be close or know where a comfortable place to be, just in case. yes, robinsons is worth the walk if sitting in food court and not just getting rid of some beer. night market actually does a good job, considering the amount of traffic it receives. and if out during the day, the handicap toilet is available at all times, just in case. the other doors are locked. :lol: 8)

as always, never travel without tissues 8)
