Clean Public Toilets for Tourists in Thailand

The Thailand Tourism and Sports Ministry is now campaigning for clean public toilet facilities at bus and train stations, while encouraging private operators of toilets at petrol stations, rest areas and restaurants to clean up their own act.

Four public places in four regions have been picked as models for the plan: Hua Lampong station in Bangkok, the second bus terminal in Nakhon Ratchasima, the second bus station in Phitsanulok and Hua Hin train station in Prachuap Khiri Khan.

According to the Bangkok Post (www.bangkokpost.com/news/general/1407394...toilets-for-tourists), the Tourism and Sports Minister Weerasak Kowsurat has said that the public toilets in locations popular with tourists should be both clean and safe.

It is good to note that Thailand is now paying attention to having clean public toilets. It tends to transpire that Thailand is now catching up with safe and clean sanitation.
