khon kaen countdown to 2011 crapper bog

This bog was the highpoint of the trip to khon kaen Countdown to 2011.
Larry at khon kaen retirement has already commented on the fest itself. The only other thing to note is the location. This is arguably the most congested intersection in town as well as one of the most dangerous. I guess this can be seen as a holiday "culling the population festival"

Anyhow back to the bog. This one was one of the most dangerous for westerners as many would fall off it. Westerners who sat on the rim were known to contract some interesting dermatological conditions.

semi modern bog

the first upgrade from a squatter was a bit of scaffolding erected over the hole with a seat fastened to the top. This in many ways was quite handy as it created a "bi-cultural bog" as the scaffolding was portable and could be moved out of the way for sqautees.. The photo below was the next generation facilitiy available for those who chose to sit-shit, basically a modern crapper without the rear mounted cistern. A nearby vessel of some type holds the water and a scooper is provided to "flush" out the bowl. When this was first introduced to the region one often enter the facility to find the seat broken. Our Asian brothers hopped up on the seat for a squat. Step 2 was to teach them to lift the seat to squat graduating to the sitting-shitting posture. If you ever sat on one of these that had an unnoticed break you will understand the saying "bitten in the ass by the bog seat"

your basic bog

  This is a typical small town bog, a couple steps beyond a hole in the ground. Some have running water and some water must be delivered. This is the basic deal and generally torture for westerners. Make sure to have your own bog roll

Pullman Royal Orchid Khon Kaen Bog

Okay it was clean and smelled nice but this is supposed to be a 5 star hotel. At least get the foot\shoe cleaner\polisher to do more than spin feebly
