Grandma, you have poop on your dress
Grandma, you have poop on your dress
Evidently, tomorrow is World Toilet Day. It sounds like a load of crap to me, but the Cambodian government has evidently produced a tv ad to commemorate this, ummm, auspicious event. I wish this was a hoax. It's not.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
Shit happens! Bloody classic, haha.
I've spent plenty of time staying at relatives homes in the provinces which didn't have any form of toilet, it's amazing how long you're body can actually hold shit in when you need to...unless you've been drinking copious amounts of beer and palm wine and sampling the local delicacies...then its off into the field with a bucket of water....I shit you not! Haha

I'm not a negative person, I encourage people all the time...it's usually to f**k off! But, whatever.

What a crap advert
Meum est propositum in taberna mori,
ut sint Guinness proxima morientis ori.
tunc cantabunt letius angelorum chori:
"Sit Deus propitius huic potatori."

On a related note, I've often wondered about something in Phnom Penh. We all know the guys regularly take a piss wherever they feel like it. Parts of Phnom Penh smell like a urinal. But where do the women go and, more delicately, where do people go to take lay some clay when nature calls? It's a city with no public toilets that I'm aware of.

recently on my travels i stopped at a small road side stop.and they had a toilet for the ladies near a tree and some branches cut down for privacy,the guys just got to go on the road side.
i had a customer go from a tree branch once out at prek toal,and not a piss either,in front of other customers but there was no dry land for miles and he needed to go:)all my boats have toilets but they have stopped us using our boats out there so the so called rangers boats we all need to use have no toilets.

There are a few public toilets around. Unfortunately they often have families living in them.alanclarke72 wrote:It's a city with no public toilets that I'm aware of.

I had to sign up after lurking here for years as an interested Southeast Asian observer. The fact that Cambodia is one of the only countries on earth to even acknowledge the existence of "world toilet day" almost seems like a sick joke in light of the realities on the ground. Corruption, ineptitude and insipidity are hardly rare when it comes to Southeast Asia's ruling powers but there are always standouts. Leading the failures as it were. Guess who takes that title?
Portion of population with access to improved sanitation (toilets):
Cambodia 30%
Indonesia 54%
Laos 63%
Philippines 74%
Myanmar 76%
Vietnam 76%
Thailand 96%
Any progress on this is crawling at a snails pace in Cambodia even when compared to more impoverished neighbors. Access to improved sanitation in Laos in 1990 was just 1%. Today it is 63%. Cambodia went from 7% to just 30% in the same period.
Worst of all, even those who are lucky enough to have a real toilet simply flush their raw shit directly into the waterways they rely on for drinking water and food. The only semi functional sewage treatment plants are located in Phnom Penh. Anyone who has visited Sihanoukville knows where the black turds of the city end up: swimming alongside them on Serendipity Beach. Maybe that's where the name comes from, an "accidental discover" of poop splashing in the waves with the revelers.
Excuses like "poverty" only go so far. Laos and Myanmar are poorer than Cambodia, and Myanmar spent the last four decades under Western embargo. The war card only goes so far too. No one can forget the international war waged against Vietnam for decades. Myanmar, Thailand and the Philippines continue to fight multi-front insurgencies to do this day. Yet they have been able to build sewage lines and toilets.
Cambodia has made such little progress in spite of being the largest aid recipient in all of Asia (money received per capita) for the last twenty years. Let's not get into the myriad mansions and expensive cars seen in Phnom Penh that are simply not found in the capitals of much richer countries like Thailand, let alone poor neighbors like Laos and Myanmar.
This is simply horrendous. I'd be interested to see what long term Cambodian residents, NGO functionaries and especially Cambodian people themselves have to say about this.
Thanks for your time.
