Conan's Thai restroom threesome

Many of us imagined that Conan's double-dunny exclusive would prove to be the last word on Thai toilet tomfoolery but the oversized Aussie actor has outdone himself once again.
Goldilocks and the three bears might approve of this unorthodox arrangement and it wouldn't look out of place at the Eden Club but why would anyone else want to play restroom piggy-in-the-middle?
But if you think that's weird, spare a thought for the urban Chinese poor who are often expected to use communal latrines. Un-partitioned holes in the ground are set out like the squares on a chessboard and there's a very real risk that you might spot some bare-arsed Chinese bloke curling one down right in front of you.
Mindful of this, Chinese etiquette demands that bog-trotters should screen their eyes with a broadsheet newspaper while squatting over the pot.
Obviously, this arrangement wouldn't work in Thailand because the locals prefer to read comic books.
Footnote
Conan didn't squeeze himself into a dollhouse dunny, as the picture seems to suggest. The larger-than-life actor really is a giant.

Here he is relaxing in a pool bar on Sukhumvit Soi 4. On his blog, Conan writes "this lady was scared at first."
