SAMUI: -- Channel Three TV reporters went to see for themselves what Thai public toilets were like after the issue was raised on social media causing much public comment.
They went to some loos in a public place that tourists frequent near the beach resort of Chaweng in Koh Samui.
And what they found would be unlikely to reassure the Thai public or visitors - the place was in an awful state and not just smelly either.
They found condoms, syringes and drug taking paraphernalia saying that the place was a danger especially to women and female foreign tourists.
A spokesman for the Samui local authority who have responsibility for the toilets at this site said they were aware of the problems and that the loo's location made it difficult to monitor. It had become a hangout for teenagers up to no good at night.
The doors had been locked at night but the locks had been broken and equipment and fittings inside had been damaged and removed.
There was some good news, however - a new block is planned in a better location nearby.
Comment online was loud and clear - Thai people complained it was not just this location but Thai public toilets are a national disgrace.
One person called Krittaput Beer commenting about the Samui toilets in question said: "I went in there once - never again. I go home now if I need to use the loo".
