I'm always intrigued in Thailand by which languages they choose to translate which signs to. In one of the big international hospitals, they have some guidelines in the bathroom: * Don't wash your feet in the sink (Chinese and Arabic only) * Don't squat on the toilet seat (Thai and Chinese only) * Please wash your hands (English and Arabic only)

As a 'westerner' I'm only really familiar with 'western' style restroom use, but the signs seem to indicate that the restroom should be used in a western way. I was aware of 'trench' style toilets existing, so the directions for south-east Asian languages make some sense. I wasn't aware of the 'foot washing' practice though... that seems odd.
