A word about thai bathrooms. Many bathrooms do not provide toilet paper, and even in those that do, you are asked not to put the toilet paper into the toilet, but instead place it in a trash can beside the toilet. Thai bathrooms are incredibly wet places. In lieu of toilet paper, thais use a hose, which is beside every toilet. My question is, once you have sprayed yourself down with a hose and are thoroughly soaked, then what? You just pull up your pants over your wet body? Thais seem to think that this spray-down gets them really clean. I think that americans do not equate a wet bathroom with a sanitary place.
