Re: Banlung: $40k toilet built for Thai princess to be used once
guys this is the good princess but wonder whose fucking idea this waste of $$ was;
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/thai ... om-108843/Following an hourlong meeting with Prime Minister HE at his office building, Princess Sirindhorn flew by helicopter to the popular Yeak Lom Lake in Banlung City, where a luxurious outhouse had been constructed at her request—and at an estimated cost of more than $40,000.
The princess, however, did not make use of the bathroom during her brief sojourn.
“She did not use the toilet…but she went to see the bathroom,” said deputy provincial governor Nhem Sam Oeun. “When she went back to Phnom Penh, they removed the modern toilet.”
The bathroom, which was built over the course of 19 days by a team of Thai laborers hired by the Bangkok-based Siam Cement Group (SCG), made international headlines over the weekend. In an interview on Friday, author Andrew MacGregor Marshall described the structure as “an insult to the Cambodian people.”
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Rude. She could have pinched one out to make it all seem worth while. That's just common courtesy.phuketrichard wrote:“She did not use the toilet…but she went to see the bathroom,” said deputy provincial governor Nhem Sam Oeun. “When she went back to Phnom Penh, they removed the modern toilet.”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Are you saying she is more prince than -ss?cptrelentless wrote:Wait, something about spending a penny needs to be inserted (oo-er) here. Maybe she has a uniquely shaped lady bit, such that the common woman or man would be startled by such a device and unsure of its function. Thus they take it away.

"We hate to inform you that Princess Sirindhorn visit ( 2 damn hours) ended without her ever using that $40,000 Toilet, No Flushing. No Shit!
Buttt, the Princess did not even go inside the “Royal Mighty Toilet”. She just looked at it from outside and took some pictures. These are some Shitty Expensive Pictures! Wat a waste of money!"

Butt , everyone's got it wrong. Latest newspaper reports say, it's not a toilet, cause there is no toilet in it. [ it's been removed ]
Lets blame it on the media.

Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

More on "this is NOT a toilet"
Sounds like it could all be a dastardly plot to undermine Cambodia's good name. They should chill out, this will make a great tourist attraction. I'm sure that all the locals have already posted their Yaklom toilet selfies on Fb.
https://www.cambodiadaily.com/news/buil ... ay-109140/... Nhem Sam Oeun, a deputy provincial governor who previously confirmed that the building was an outhouse, said on Sunday he had only gathered information through informal sources, and had not actually seen inside.
“I just thought that [it was a bathroom] through chatting with other people,” he said of the building, now meant to become a community office. “It has affected not only the province and provincial authorities, but also the country as a whole, because it does not sound good saying we are using a toilet as an office.”...
