Intelligent Vietnamese toilets to go to Barbados

Twelve intelligent made-in-Vietnam public restrooms will be shipped to the Caribbean country of Barbados, said a local producer at a forum in Ho Chi Minh City Saturday.

Chairman of the HCMC-based Petech Electronics Company Phan Tri Dung told yesterday forum on the use of high-tech public restrooms in urban areas that the restrooms to be shipped were among his company’s most up-to-date, each costing US$39,000.

The restroom offers automatic flushing, deodorizing, ventilation, automatic door, automatic bidet lid, music, a TV monitoring system to see outside, greetings and reminders of automatic functions.

The restroom also wipes the floor, cleans and dries the bidet seat, washes and dries the user, dispenses toilet paper automatically and charges money with a coin slot.

Dung said that business contracts stipulate that the company would supply both foreign and domestic markets with 150 restrooms of this kind, worth a total of US$2.3 million, from June 2007 – June 2008.

In Ho Chi Minh City, the restrooms been placed at four locations – the Youth Culture House, Me Linh Quarter, Bach Dang Park, and Nguyen Du Sports House.

It's gotta be great news for the world's bathroom kings and queens (you know, those members of the family who believe in camping out in the bathroom just when you really need to go!)

I think that having modern toilets are really a symbol of being a modern country.

The headline appears misleading. "dominate the world" is a stretch. Vietnam should build public toilets so that guys don't urinate in the public. On that, they should also get rid of all squat toilets.

Make that clean, modern toilets that actually flush
