This sign was posted in a bathrom in Thailand, to show people from the country-side how to use the bathrom in modern buildings. Apprently, there had been some lawsuits from people who fell off.
I've been to some funky potties in my day.
Some fun ones here.
Interesting. This from the article:
"Indian Trains
I truly love the Indian train system. I do not love indian train toilets. Pee + moving train = nasty. Also, the toilets are just holes onto the tracks. Between every pair of rails in India there are two stripes of old dried ****, one for the bathroom on either side of the car. Lest ye judge, European trains used to be engineered exactly the same way."
Well, got news for the author. Trains in the U.S. were the same way, too. I had the experience on Amtrak's Coast Starlight in the late 80s where one car's toilets was nothing but a hole straight through to the rails and tracks. I pee'd a streak right past the Minute Man rocket launchers at Vandenberg.
But regarding toilets and public bathrooms, they all generally lack something in offering privacy and dignity, IMO. I've never been to Asia, but certain areas of Europe do the best when it comes to privacy in my experience. Eh-hem, except, that is, one I experienced in Oslo. The restrooms were coin-pay to access. Mens and womens were situated across from each other at the end of a hall. Between them was a booth where a guard sat monitoring the activities in both mens and womens from behind a two-way mirror. (My guess is that this was a problem area for drugs and prostitution.) This day it was a lady guard, bad tempered, who busted me for not paying as I slid in when another exited. What a job! She made me pay or face a fine!

Many trains in the Netherlands are still the same way. Some are just an open hole straight through the bottom and some hold it until you "flush" then open the hole to dump it.
Jonathan Stray, the idiot who wrote that article, made sure he wrote only about the toilets he saw in the poorest parts of the countries he visited, and then he proclaims that all toilets in those countries are like that. Ignorance at its fullest.
I have visited quite a few of those countries listed in his article, and I can assure you that not all toilets are like what he has described.

I remember those 'WCs' on the Euro trains as well when visiting over there in 1973.............
Frankly; I am very surprised that such 'crappers' are even legal these days.
