Thailand to Host World Toilet Summit:

Thailand plans to upgrade hygiene in its public toilets to meet international standards as it prepares to host the World Toilet Summit next year, a health official said Wednesday.

"Toilets are very important for the country's image in the eyes of visitors," said Somyos Chareonsak, a senior official of the Public Health Ministry.

It's run by the World Toilet Organization, but don't tell the lefties. Just say the WTO is planning a big meeting in Bangkok in May, 2006.
