Thanks again and regards. -- Rik
ps: I noted the western toilet in the small village without electricity. I was wondering where the "waste" goes afterwards. Do they discharge it into the river or process it in any way?
Hi Rik,
The western toilet is only for the western visitors and they keep the door locked when no one is visiting. The villagers have their own Thai style toilets. The waist goes into a large holding tank buried underground. In the dry season a" honey dipper" truck comes and pumps the waist out and hauls it away to a sanation plant.
All the best Randy and Ning
