In-Depth Information
toilet paper at the entrance (5B), otherwise bring your own stash or wipe the old-
fashioned way with water.
Even in places where sit-down toilets are installed, the septic system may not be
designed to take toilet paper. In such cases there will be a waste basket where
you're supposed to place used toilet paper and feminine hygiene products. Some
modern toilets also come with a small spray hose - Thailand's version of the bidet.
