anyone can use a squat toilet, it's only people that are not so good on their legs due to age, or they have a disability.

it is worse if you get caught short and need a number 2, and it's just the plastic scoop in a big water drum, no bum gun, I've come out the toilet in a market restaurant, and was on the way to eat dinner, and there was no soap to clean my hands, I was fuming 🤷🙆😂🤣😂

Thailand is certainly progressing, but certain services are not as widely available as in the west, the country as a whole, is still a few years behind, that's my opinion anyway.

if there is no toilet paper, you don't have a choice, you just put your pants back on, without doing anything, you dry off in no time 🤣😂🤣🇹🇭😎

it's best to take off your shorts and hang them on a hook, I've had one or two mishaps, it is also worse when there is no bum gun, just the plastic scoop in a big drum of water, and even more annoying when there no soap to clean your hands, which is very often the case on markets and such like, if you get caught short. 🤷🙆😂🤣😂

Save yourself a headache and get the assistance of an agent.

it is easier just to let your wife book the room, and be the lead name on the booking, and check in with her Thai ID, very often they are not interested in you being the extra guest, But in Pattaya they will probably ask for your passport also, if it works out as I suggested, it's better because nothing has changed in the immigration system.

What visa are you on now If any?? If for instance you are on a tourist visa, they usually deduct 60 days, so it is actually only 10 months, make sure you ask the school, schools were allowed to do 100% online during covid, but I thought now the vast majority needs to be done in person.

use 1p mobile £40 for one year, it's free to receive text messages in Thailand, I think the SIM card needs to be set up and activated in the UK.
