Places To Pee Before You Die
2404 views, 1 reactions and 2 comments

Out of the ordinary public restrooms around the world to visit when you need to go. Relieve yourself in the open air feeling at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport or in front of peering eyes at Hotel Sofitel in Queenstown, New Zealand.
This restroom in Middle Brighton Baths, Australia, has a plasma tv installed on the urinal wall. So watch that fantastic basketball game in HD and watch your stream of urine cascade down the screen. Beautiful!
You can't pee here, you can't pee there. At the Urinals of Hat Noppharat Thara at Phi Phi Islands National Park in Thailand, you'll feel like you can pee anywhere.

The urinals don't look sanitary, but if you ever wanted to pee out in the open, you won't find a park ranger stopping you here while you do your business.
Ever wanted to pee off the side of a building on to innocent bystanders below? Well you still can't at Felix, a trendy bar and restaurant in Hong Kong, but it comes close.

The urinals overlook the bright cityscape below. But the story of this restroom is that once, there were no urinals. Just glass. Patrons to this restaurant urinated on the glass. Sensors on the glass detected the urination and flushed water down the side of the glass to clean it.
Most airport restrooms i've been to are quite plain. But the restroom in this Stockholm-Arlanda airport brings a little something different to the restroom experience.

Ms. Karin Renström, the Design Manager at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, describes the work as "The new mens room is specially designed so the visitor feels he is standing amidst the flowers in a Swedish meadow...The solution is a combination of design, art and function. The purpose is to show a beautiful part of the swedish nature in the contrast of concrete and airplanes. All hidden in the wish of better smell. Big sheets of glass reduce the gaps - and the odour."
Have trouble going while near someone, try urinating while a dozen eyeballs watch you. At Sofite, real people are not actually watching you in the restroom, just life size pin-ups; but the feeling may be the same.

The restroom in the five star hotel in New Zealand has stirred up some complaints from church goers and visitors, but hotel manager Mark Wilkinson says the toilets were just a way of putting a little levity into the posh hotel.

"Certainly it wasn't our intention to offend anyone," he says.

I'm not offended Mark, I always liked a little attention.

Have something to add to this list?
