THAILAND, TOILET PAPER & SODA WATER V754

[@michaelboyes1947]

Wife and I have add-on bidets on all our toilets. Use maybe 1 roll per toilet per month - just to dry. Greatest thing since sliced bread.

[@paulhicks451]

The first order of business, when I returned from Thailand was to order a bidet toilet seat off of Amazon. The best decision I ever made and I highly recommend it.

[@SeanHendy]

The bum gun is the real world version of the 3 sea shells from the film Demolition Man.

[@ThailandRob]

Wow I remember that move too! haha

[@petermoxham2625]

Since coming to Thailand, I now use the shower on full force at home, it is much cleaner, no skid marks in your pants. A toilet roll lasts me 2 to 3 months, mainly for blowing my nose. Environmentally it is far better the sewage companies don't have to recycle all that paper and maybe they can stop dumping all the untreated sewage into our rivers.

[@marklatimer7333]

The reason Soda Water is so popular is due to the Thai drinking culture, when a group of friends get together at a bar or restaurant they don't all order separate drinks - it is far more normal that the group will buy a bottle of Alcohol and all share it - Scotch (Black Label if you are flash, Red label at a push) - Thai's love Scotch - ThaiBev owns distilleries in Scotland.

Chang was new comer to beer market in Thailand in 1999 cooperated with Danish Carlsberg beer in order to complete with the major dominated Thai beer market ie, Singha (selling price around 50-60 baht/bottle that time). Chang came with a big marketing campaign selling 3 bottles of Chang for 100 baht and with a strong distributer network (Look at the business of the founder Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi ).Boon Rawd Brewery did not want to use Singha name complete in the price war with Chang due to their well built reputation to serve upper-middle and Hight-end market. Leo then turned up to complete with Chang and the price war started, Leo 3 bottles for a 100. Another one, Thai bar girls do not drink beer while working because drinking beer can cause them gaining weight and belly fat, (consider number of glasses they would have drunk per day).

[@dubtruker733]

Soda and tonic are totally different.tonic has a higher sugar content than even Coca Cola and has Quinine which supposedly repels mosquitos. Soda is either just CO2 infused or sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate added in Club Soda

[@ThailandRob]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@TrailWalker03]

Great content Rob. Keep it coming!

[@SeanHendy]

Props for the correct pronunciation of 'Singha'. Not many even know that the 'a' is silent.

[@ThailandRob]

Yeah, I remember you saying that before. Most Thai people won't correct people.

[@garycarlson6500]

Same here never to Thailand, too old and disabled, but ordered bidet seats for house, especially after the toilet paper hoarding here in the USA.

[@Fat_Old_Bald]

Definitely cleaner with a bum gun. In rural areas I have fund the dump method mostly with the broken bum gun on the wall beside it. LOL... But you failed to mention the pit toilet, Verus squat or sit.

[@Scott-Andy]

Great video. We are literally counting down the days until our return to Thailand for 30 days. We can’t wait to spray our undercarriages at the 10 different resorts we are staying. Yes world it’s that nice.

[@stuckinflorida9685]

I’ve been telling people for 30 years that toilet paper is the worse way to clean yourself, I’ve managed to convert 2 people in that time, crazy I know. Leo beer has always been produced by Boon Rawd Brewery, the same brewery that produces Singha, I read about the history of Leo (which is short for leopard unlike what I was told by a Thai person) while in Chiang Mai. If I’m wrong I would definitely like to know. Thanks for sharing 🍻

[@jessepuha1009]

Hi Rob. You did talk about bum guns in your video. In Finland people wipe the you know place with paper first and then they will use the bum gun.I know that it is a strange combination of Western and Asian toilet routine,but i do like that too and yes we have many different kinds of toilet papers in here. Did you know that we can also buy Singha,Leo and Chang beers from so many different grocery stores in Finland and yes those companies soda waters are also available here and those beverages are also in many Thai stores in here.

[@johnsullivan2563]

I remember as a youg man seeing bidets in Europe but it was when I went to Thailand that I started using the bum gun. When I came back to the states the first thing I bought was a bidet. Best investment ever

[@Dutch-Buddha]

thanks for creating and sharing

[@stegura83]

Been a very long time since we've seen Jessica Rabbit

[@stegura83]

Ever remember the three sea shells scene from the "Demolition Man" movie?

[@ThailandRob]

I do!

[@mikemiller5143]

Please do a video on how to use the bum gun

[@normpalmer5367]

Just to let you know, if you come back to the United States and you visit Florida, be prepared to spend a lot of money. It is very expensive here and there are a lot more people than there used to be.

[@BR54966]

Hello Rob, Great Post, having stayed in Bangkok in very nice hotels then elsewhere with no toilets no running water, Good time had by all👍🇺🇸👍

[@klasalmqvist8554]

Very soon back in Phuket

[@marcjtdc]

maids were shocked when I used more than two rolls of toilet paper a day and they were tiny.

[@Belgianbanshee]

Haaaa..the infamous bum gun. Never used it, never will

[@tonywatson5704]

11:45 thanks for the cryptic ’heads up’. Will be a shame to lose you as a Thai-based content maker. But at least you’ll not have ‘gone dark’ without a trace as have so many others.

[@CharlieChaplinVideos]

Which is your favourite beer out of these Chang / Singha / Leo

[@ThailandRob]

Leo

[@gemmel3197]

I had a bum gun installed in my new apartment in Perth Australia. It's fantastic, so much cleaner.

[@HansCSchellenberg]

I always drink so much soda water in Thailand, but I don't pour whisky into it likeThai's do.

[@bobwelo]

[@mijead00]

In Sweden We have paper Micke Sweden

[@natesquestyouknowthatsrigh8269]

I’ve been coming to Thailand for 25 years and I’ve never used bum gun but I do use wet wipes. I never learn how to use it we need a tutorial.

[@ThailandRob]

While sending....

[@ryminsta]

No problem koh samui Edit: that gun hurts

[@KwilliamsFLA]

Great Video Rob! You going back to sarasota?

[@ThailandRob]

Yes

[@abefrohman1759]

Bum gun 😂🤣😆

[@marklatimer7333]

I'm afraid Thai's pronounced it "Sing Haa" - it means 'Lion' and and originally comes from the Ancient Sanskrit Language.

[@ThailandRob]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singha

[@marklatimer7333]

@@ThailandRob You are welcome to take the matter up with my 60 year old Thai wife and the rest of her family.

[@marklatimer7333]

@@ThailandRob Apologies Rob, I was basing the pronunciation on what my 60 year old Thai wife told me yesterday, today she just admitted that in Thai it would be the equivalent of "Beer Sing" and in English it's Singha Beer - Women? can't live with them, can't chuck them down a well!

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

Yea, T.P. here in the STATES come in Packs of 20 at a Shot... But don't You use Towels to Dry ??Never seen CLEAR BEER ... Keep the LEO Cold and Enjoy ..

[@marklatimer7333]

Bud lite might as well be water.

[@RaymondMullen-t9j]

True ... I' m more of a '''JIM BEAM ''' or '''SMIRAOFF ''' Myself...haha

[@Kiwionwing]

Need water Just paper disgusting

[@larryc6676]

I truly love your channel but I disagree with you on the spray. You can spray but you still have to wipe. I'm sorry nothing beats the toilet paper

[@sammatsusaka823]

My stop over in CHINA was a rectangle on the floor. I think they wiped. Just imagine if someone falls in it.
