I read it somewhere in one of these topics in the Thailand section, that you should take toilet paper to Thailand as it is not supplied everywhere you go.
I took some with me last year when I went to Vietnam, and as it turned out I didn't need it at all, as the public loos and the places we stayed in provided it.
I just don't want to carry things that are not really needed that take up space in my case or backpack.
I suppose if this is the only problem I have I'm really doing well. LOL
Thanks

Red,
Don't worry. The trend in guest houses in Thailand and Laos is to include toilet paper in the bathroom, although you'll still encounter a few places that don't - particularly those with a shared bath. Even so, toilet paper is inexpensive and available for purchase everywhere, so no need to import your own supply. It is a good idea to have a small pack of tissues with you at all times (available to the counter of any 7/11-style store), for clean up as needed. You also might want to have a supply of moist towelettes just in case, and waterless soap can come in handy too if there isn't a wash up spot where you are or to clean up a bit before meals. Cheers.

Thanks exacto,
I thought probably as much. That waterless soap is great too.
Thanks again.

Always carry a roll for those unexpected visits to the can on buses, trains, in restaurants, etc., but as mentioned above, don't bother bringing any unless you have a favourite brand. My favourite Thai brand of bog roll is "Sit and Smile".
