Have you acclimated to Thai toilet or do you search out western ones ?

Question

We just got mom a sit down one because she's old and got bad knees.

and why did it offer as the top suggested category

Society & Culture > Cultures & Groups > L*****n, g*y, Bisexual, and Transgendered? Some bias on YAs part?

Answer 1

I just hold it in.

Answer 2

i can use them, but prefer only for "bow" and not "nak"

Most Thai when introduced to western ones prefer them in my experience.

Answer 3

It's funny you ask.

I was visiting a school my Thai friend works at a couple hours north of Chaing Mai as a guest English teacher. One of the teachers there was kind enough to let me stay with him in his little hut. Of course the only toilet available was Thai style. I'm a pretty big guy (with bad knees also) and I remembering staring at that thing and thinking, 'Ain't no frickin way'. I held out as long as I could but eventually the moment of truth came and I couldn't wait any longer I finally gave in. I was amazed at how painless the process was. Okay, not great on the knees but -- and I'll try to keep this khoser -- things worked out surprisingly well. Let's just say the position required sort of lines things up nicely. In fact, I suddenly got the entire concept.

My first bathroom discovery in Thailand, the spray gun, is also something that I took to. In fact, I installed on in my bathroom in Los Angeles much to the amusement of my Thai friends.

Answer 4

I can't squat, Intend going camping within the dry months and will have to take with me a strong bamboo pole to help with getting up and down, having said that, I now find using tissue to clean up absolutely disgusting. As someone else mentioned. the little hand held shower device takes a lot of beating

Answer 5

Gosh, your really running low on questions now.  I will only pee in a Thai toilet bad knee prevents me from bending that low.  As for the categories did you have a hard time deciding which one to use?

Answer 6

The public Thai toilets are nasty!! I would only use them if it was #1, #2 no way!!! My girlfriend has a Thai toilet at her apartment and I got tired of squatting and just sat down on the d**n thing!!! Only because she keeps it sparkling clean lol! I was amazed how well the scoop thing worked vs. flushing, it was pretty cool!
