When you gotta go, You gotta go

Some amenities from our hotel in Cat Ba. A little shampoo, toothbrushes, and q-tips.

Bathroom in roadside restaurant on the way to Khmer village outside of Hoi An.

Bathroom in the MArket in Haiphong. Notice the 2 toilets, you had to pass through the first toilet to get to stall. There was also no lock on the door to the first toilet. There was however toilet paper.

Bathroom at waterfront restaurant in Nha Trang.

What do you think is behind the door? Also i like practicing my foreign languages by memorizing what's on the sign.

Hotel Bathroom in Siagon.

Restaurant bathroom in Siagon. The bathrooms were always colorful. This one didn't have toilet paper but they did provide a dump bucket.

This busy bee wants you to keep it clean

Seriously?! Fook Woo paper....maybe my mind just goes places it shouldn't

The little sign on the mirror says slippery floor.

3 different interpretations of Female and one handicapped sign

The lobby bathroom at Luxe Manor Hotel

Stalls at the Luxe hotel - i love mosaic tile

Sometimes a sign explains it all, found this gem in singapore. Number 6 is very important! Check out my other blog for  more travel photos from south east asia. Two shots and a Kim!

1. Do Not Litter 2. Aim well at urinal or toilet bowl 3. Clean up after use 4. keep the floor dry. Do not flick water on the floor. 5. Flush after use. 6. Do not squat on the toilet bowl.

Today's post is about thailand. We have spent a decent amount of time in thailand. i would say approximately 5 months of time during various trips to south east asia. There are MANY MANY kinds of toilets in thailand.  They range from your regular 'western-ish' toilet, to the basic squat, to the stand on squat. To see pictures from 2011 Songrkan in Bangkok check out my other blog.

The mention stand on squatter. Just when i thought i had gotten the hang of the squat, i came across this beauty at the bus station in Hat Yai. This one is pretty precarious, it's always slight damp in these bathrooms, as you have to use a bucket to dump water into the bowl to flush.

I was pretty impressed when i saw this sign for a 5 star bathroom at the national library in thailand, the picture below is the 5 star bathroom.

the elusive 5 start toilet in asia. It held up to it's promise, it had been cleaned right before i entered. There was a door with a working lock, toilet paper, a toilet seat, and a sink with soap to wash your hands.

Welcome to my new blog! i love bathrooms, and in my travels i have learned that they come in all shapes, sizes, and levels of cleanliness.  Some of the pictures will be of beautiful bathrooms in fancy houses, hotels, or restaurants. Other's like the one above won't be so nice.

The toilet pictured above is from the lone rest stop between cairo and the white desert. This is the restroom i was using when i realized that i was a lot more sick then i originally thought. From this point of the trip for the next 3 months of travel i spent most of my time in the bathroom. At one point we traveled to Dubai, so that i could have a nice fully westernized bathroom....or at least that was our excuse. Subscribe and keep an eye on the blog for more awesome bathroom pictures!
