if you want the benefits of squatting but still want to read on a western-style toilet, try leaving the seat up! This lowers your butt to below knee height, giving some of the befits of squatting, but you can still balance and read a book. Of course, the cold ceramic takes some getting used to! But how do you manage the shower if you're using a public lavatory?

"Chiotte a la turque" was still true like 10 years ago.  Today you really can't find any .... unless you end up in the midde of nowhere where the old papi-mami still live in the old fashion way.  Not really sure if the French's created it as the name sounds to me to be Turkish.

Sometime I wish the French's would still use it as most of the public Toilets I have used weren't as clean as here in Thailand...

Anyway, I will never get used to it , that it is here or elsewhere...

Watching a cuttie taking a D!@#$p just before some action might be ackward...  

Feet on the seat I got used to. (No, not that seat!)



What made me laugh till I cried (& I had to pretend I hadn't noticed.) was when Num left the horng nam door open, I walked by, glanced in--And he was straddling it: sitting on the thunder-mug backward!  Now, tell me that's up-country.  (Unless, maybe, he was an Issan cowboy.)





The priest told the service station attendants he broke his arm when he slipped on the bathroom floor and fell against the urinal.

When he left Nong asked Pee, "What' a urinal?"

Pee said, "How should I know, Ting-tong. I'm not Catholic!"

Touching story, Edith!



I know this is slightly off topic, but I was once at the Anchorage Alaska airport, walked into the men's room, and saw that someone had taken a dump IN THE URINAL.  



Go figure.  Must have been someone from "up country".

Someone used to do that every Saturday night in the local leather bar.  He was never caught at it.  Most popular theory: he did it on newspaper and slid it in.  Ginger insisted he brought it from home.



I went to the loo at the Mineshaft once; a guy with an empty beer bottle asked me to fill it up.  When I told my friend, Ginger Vitis, he yawned and said I should dump my steady: the dude with the red coffin in his red bedroom, and get out more; I was missing too much.  (What did he know?  It was an extra-wide--And extra deep...with running lights and a pneumatic grease-gun.  Sigh....)







 

Yet another touching story from Edith... I really loved that one!



Where is the Mineshaft?  Is there a franchise in Thailand?

I was once in the shower washing myself and i thought rather than sitting on the toilet i would shite in the shower and wash it down,as i was just doing it,the boy i offed walked in and took one look at the mess on the floor and screamed and then ran out the hotel door,leaving his stuff behind.

UPDATE:

The original remark which involved the sadomasochistic abuse of a Thai has been replaced I see. What is the point of these ghastly fantasies, m'dear - you are not well and perhaps you should seek help.



For my part I would prefer not to see this kind of degrading fantasy on Sawatdee.

The above comment is pornographic and in very bad taste. It is remarks like these that will get Sawatdee taken orf the air - moderators beware.



This is not a matter of censorship but rather common sense.

Ricky, you need to take American Gay History 101, check your local community college.



The Mineshaft was a notorious gay bar in NYC in the late 70s, maybe open til early 80's (I tried to find a link to some Minashaft history but no luck so far). The theme was definately and significantly kinky, with watersports, fisting, etc.



I suspect you won;t find bars like the mineshaft anywhere in the world, tho some in Paris and Amsterdam come close.





 

I know there is more than one bar named "The Mineshaft", that's why I asked.  I can assure you any bar in the U.S. would be considered "vanilla" compared to some in Europe.

I bet, GG, the Stablemaster in Amsterdam comes close to the Mineshaft. The name reminds me of the Montrose Mining Company in Houston (recognise that one, BG?), but that one is a fairly tame bar.



I still have an awful time with squat toilets, and I recall a time when my bf was so drunk he accidentally shat in the large ice cooler we had borrowed from My Way bar for an after hours party in our apartment. We still laugh about that one.



Alas, that is all I have for shit stories.

Classy - you meet such refined people on this board. That's the great thing about the internet  - learning about other people's lifestyles and culture.
