Tourists told to pee outside at Poipet International Border
What do travelers need most after hours on a bus or in a minivan ? Think about it. Most of them really really need a toilet.
Well, these days they are tough out of luck when stopping at the busy Poipet international border between Cambodia and Thailand where there has been no water for sanitary services for the past 20 days. In other words, no toilets.
Locals and international tourists alike have been obliged to urinate wherever they can find a spot, a nearby wall is indicated for the gentlemen, and those who need a bowel movement must go and beg for use of a toilet in a casino.
The authorities have promised to rectify this embarrassing introduction to the Kingdom of Wonder as soon as possible, perhaps even today, 14 December. Now that would be a huge relief.
What do you mean there're no toilets ? Tourists search to relieve themselves in vain at Poipet border crossing.
Anyone that has found a toilet in working order, please let us know so we can pass on the information.

Re: Tourists told to pee outside at Poipet International Border
There is a reason why Poipet and toilet rhyme.
Disgraceful.
Huge casinos nearby, but hey, why would we ask them to help us?
Shameful.
Nothing has changed in 16 years.

Maybe they figured they don't need toilets with the Chinese coming in droves. They'll shit anywhere.

Shooting a rabbit is the custom in both countries. Shows some respect to follow a local tradition.
