Our Tauck trips and trips on our own have taken us through quite a few airports. Some airports not as nice as others. These are facilities at one of airports.
Name the airport.
Beijing?
Here's my pic from Xian airport
Katmandu
BKMD, yours looks quite a bit nicer but it is not Beijing. Not Katmandu either. (closer though)
Here's one in Katmandu. Pretty close likeness.
How about Chitwan National Park?
Probably the same plumber.
Bharatput Airport?
Not an airport but you are getting closer.
Here's another Katmandu airport restroom
BKMD is the winner on this one. Spelling is a bit off.
These facilities were at Bhadrapur Airport (BDP) in Bhadrapur, Mechi, Nepal. Glad that number one was all that was required at the time.
Meghauli airport
And I've never been there.
Reminds me of the toilets at Latte Larry's (Curb Your Enthusiasm).
While looking at photos of some of those high-drop "squatty potties" on Google, I could almost smell the stench!
The ones in all three photos in this post were much cleaner than many shown!
My wife said that the ladies facilities were the same as the men's.
You could bring one of these with you, but you have to align yourself just right...
How about a super loo, this one is the highest toilet in the world. I’ll spare you the shot of me sitting on it!
British - Is it on the International Space Station? Can’t get higher than that. 😀
Made me think of my years in Japan. A sailor who worked for me dropped his wallet in a similar toilet (porcelain hole in the floor) at a rest area. For various reasons he HAD to recover it along with his military ID. Got a worker to help. Cleaned it off etc etc. But for the next year when out at a bar with fellow sailors, whenever he went to pull out his wallet to buy a round they all waived him off.
Guess we've all had to endure the hole in the floor! I (not for the first time) had to use the hole in the floor at the Beijing airport and then learned that they had a whole row of western toilets, too!
Luckily the ladies on our K&T tour learned that before it was too late at the Tanzania-Kenya border.
Smiling Sam, highest on planet Earth 😀
