Heres a little story from my first visit to Thailand.
On our way down the highway to HH we stopped at a rest stop for the toilets.
I went in, saw the squat toilets and proceeded to position myself (bearing in mind I had never seen let alone used one before). Sort of got myself in what I assumed was a good position when it all went wrong! Feet slipped from under me, arse in the hole, both hands on the wet floor and oaths being uttered (you get my drift?).
Anyway, that sort of took the whole idea out of my head. I got up in about 3 milliseconds (as you would), pulled my clothes up and rather sheepishly walked out of the stall.
Outside were 2 thai gents, smiling broadly as I passed, which just dented my pride even more. I can guess what they were thinking.
Luckily I can laugh at myself and my wife was laughing all the way to HH when I told her.
To make things worse, we stopped at the same rest stop later in that holiday and there are some western style toilets which I hadnt seen on my first visit.
So people, beware of wet slippery floors when in this type of toilet.
I hope you enjoyed my experience and I hope it has given you a laugh as it has us.
