What is the faucet next to the toilet in Thailand?

Thailand is currently the most popular overseas travel destination, and there are various preferential policies for Chinese tourists. When traveling to Thailand, many tourists will be surprised to find that there is a faucet next to the toilet in Thailand. I don’t know what this is for, so I’ll share with you how to use it.

When it is convenient to go to the toilet in Thailand, there will be a mysterious pipe next to the toilet, which is actually a small water pipe. I believe many people don’t know what this small shower is used for, and many people even think that this small shower is used to flush the toilet. But in fact, this mysterious water pipe has other uses, and Thai beauties also revealed its secrets.

The Thai beauty said: This is related to Thailand’s geography and is a Thai custom. Because Thailand is located in the tropics, most areas have a tropical monsoon climate and the weather is hot. Local people always think that it is impossible to wipe directly with paper towels when the weather is hot.

This water pipe is used to clean people. When going to the toilet online, rinse with water and then dry with paper towels, which is the cleanest method. Moreover, local people also believe that if you wipe it off without rinsing it with water, it will easily cause various bacterial infections and lead to some diseases.

In fact, this is also related to Thailand’s national conditions. As early as a long time ago, Thai people did not have the habit of using paper. They always use water to wash clothes. This effect is actually very mild and can effectively remove excrement from the buttocks. This tradition has been preserved.

After listening to the Thai beauty, many hiking enthusiasts want to try it, but they all have the same result: peeing their pants. Although it seems simple, operating the water flow from the water pipe is still a bit difficult.

At least it is difficult for us Chinese to get used to it. In fact, not only Thailand has such magical water pipes, but India also has them. But don't think they are dirty.

They even think wiping your butt with a tissue is unclean in other countries!
