Lol, this is actually the second year for the Best Public Toilet Awards, so yes it's real.truffledog wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 2:14 am I cant believe that public funds are used to finance such a ridiculous program as "the best public toilet". Un_fcking_real! Please wake me up.
My first reaction to this nonsense was just like you, WTF ? But, then again. Where to start ? As someone who has done many trips around Cambodia with family and friends in mini-vans and taxis, I am sincerely grateful for the effort that has been put into "toilet stops" by the private sector. Things have improved immensely, thank you x100 to Pich Nil (on the road between Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. )
But these are privately owned conveniences for customers, and as for "public toilets" - I don't know any real public toilets, except by reputation, such as the infamous public toilets on riverside, where people reportedly get sliced after dark, and the equally notorious Sihanoukville beach public toilets, which evacuate the waste products directly into the crystalline waters of Occheuteal Beach. ( Clean Beach Award!!)

Re: Five Cambodian Public Toilets Win ASEAN Awards
Where do you get this idea? I think you confuse with the old bungalows and restaurants that released their shit directly to sea. The public toilets on the beach are connected to the city sewage system. And they are actually great addition. Nice to get shower after a swim. And they are always very clean.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 2:57 amBut these are privately owned conveniences for customers, and as for "public toilets" - I don't know any real public toilets, except by reputation, such as the infamous public toilets on riverside, where people reportedly get sliced after dark, and the equally notorious Sihanoukville beach public toilets, which evacuate the waste products directly into the crystalline waters of Occheuteal Beach.

Hopefully it will be an inspiration for those still operating shitty public toilets to clean up their act - and win an award next time.
Re: Five Cambodian Public Toilets Win ASEAN Awards
I would say PTT deserved an award, in my experience you can trust their gas stations to always have really good clean toilets

Re: Five Cambodian Public Toilets Win ASEAN Awards
I say toilets here are very good, especially comapared to those in equivalent countries in other continents but also compared to Europe and the USA. And much more available, in the West they can be hard to find, and when you find one there is only one disabled-friendly cubicle with a long queue outside. Big retail parks (not shopping malls) usually have no toilet at all.

Maybe they could install one in the Central Bus Depot area so they dont have to piss all over the back wall in the alley.
