Looking for a bathroom, high and low

Everyone, have you ever really given much thought to what you should do when you're walking down the street and suddenly need to use the restroom urgently? Honestly, you probably haven't.

In Korea, you can easily find restrooms near subway stations, public institutions, shopping malls, cafes, and more, and many of them are free to use!

But it's a bit different when traveling to Vietnam.

While walking down the street, you suddenly feel a desperate need to use the restroom, but even when you look around, it can be hard to find a place you can use right away.

It varies depending on where you are traveling in Vietnam, but there are times when it can be hard to find a restroom right away.

Especially if it's an area you're visiting for the first time, it can be hard to even know where you are, and that can be flustering in an urgent situation.

Moreover, since the conditions for using the restroom differ from place to place, it's more convenient to check in advance rather than just showing up without knowing.

🤔 How are Vietnamese toilets different?

In Korea, you can use restrooms in subway stations, public institutions, and shopping malls for free in most cases, so there's rarely a need to search for one separately. But in Vietnam, the story is a bit different.

① There are many places not everyone can enter.

Of the 109 places where terms of use were confirmed, 50 can only be used by 'purchasing customers.' If you're not making a purchase, there's the inconvenience of having to find a place with more flexible terms.

② Half of it is paid.

Of the 137 locations where fees were confirmed, 67 charge a fee, and the most common fee is 5,000 VND (ranging from 2,000 to 10,000 VND). At pay toilets or makeshift ticket booths, large bills or cards often aren't accepted, so it's a good idea to carry cash with you in advance.

③ The facilities are all different.

Whether there is toilet paper, a bidet, or soap, and whether the toilet is a sit-down type or a squat type can vary, so if you have a preferred type of facility, it's especially good to check before you visit.
