Open the map: toilets near me🚿 The bidet spray
The small hose next to the toilet is for washing. Spray, then pat dry with paper. Thai toilet floors are often wet because of it, so watch your step.
🧻 Toilet paper
Paper is not always provided, so carry tissues. If there is a sign or a bin next to the toilet, put used paper in the bin: older pipes block easily.
🪣 Squat toilets
You will still find them at markets, temples and older stations. If there is no flush, scoop water from the tank with the bowl (khan) and pour it in to flush.
🪙 Paying
Some public toilets charge a few baht, paid to an attendant at the door. Keep a few coins. Where a price is posted, the most common is 5 baht (26 places).
📍 Where to find one
Shopping malls, buildings by BTS and MRT stations, petrol stations, temples and markets. Cafés and restaurants are often customers only. Road trip? See toilets at petrol stations and rest areas. Need a shower? See public showers.
🗣️ Signs and asking
ห้องน้ำ (hông-náam) means toilet. ชาย = men, หญิง = women. To ask: ห้องน้ำอยู่ที่ไหน (hông-náam yòo tîi-nǎi?) “Where is the toilet?”
💚 Leave it nice
Leave it as you found it, flush properly, dry the seat if the spray splashed it, and never stand on a sitting toilet. If it was clean, say so: on THEEKHEE you can stick a “sparkling clean” or “thanks, cleaner” sticker on any toilet, or flag “out of paper” for the next person.
