Wednesday December 13 10:34 AM ET New Toilets Receive Some Cheers, Jeers dailynews.yahoo.com BANGKOK, Thailand (Reuters) - Thai soldiers have given a lukewarm reaction to the removal of squat toilets from Bangkok's barracks, with some welcoming the new sit-down toilets but others going out of their way to avoid using the facilities. The Bangkok Post daily Wednesday quoted a barrack source as saying some conscripts had avoided using the new toilets because of fears they would contract diseases. ``They don't want their bodies to touch the seats. They don't know if any of the people here are carriers of serious diseases,'' the source said. But one soldier, Private Chalor Saengon, told Reuters the new facilities made life easier for him and many of his friends. ``Some of my fat friends couldn't squat on the old-style bowls,'' he said. ``With the installation of the shower, soldiers now can shower, shave and brush their teeth at the same time. It means we have more time for training.''
