I had a chance to join Wat Phu festival this year, and one thing that I want the organizer to improve is nothing else but, the toilet. There were thousand of people both local and foreigners join this festival, but there was no sign of public toilet availabe at the site. The visitors have to go to the forest near by as the open-air toilet. Many foreigners also complainted that why there was no toilet available at the site. Next year, i hope that the organizer will have a good preparation for this sacred festival in Laos.
Nothing changed, I was at Boun Wat Phou more than 30 years ago.
There goes a Business opportunity. Instead of complaining why don't you guys put your money together and start a portable toilet services. Help yourself and the community at the same time. What do you guys think?
The human wastes can be treated and used as organic fertilizer. As the result we can help the community with their sanitation problem, promoting tourism, and promote Lao organic farm industry by providing them with reliable and cheap organic fertilizer.

Oh! It's a good suggestion. I do appreciate it.
I have no doubt that there are several toilets in the site, but not enough. Or probably, the number of people attended the festival this year were much more than the previous year. That could be one reason of the cases.
Secondly, our organizers probably also do not have experiences enough to organize the big festival. Putting sign of public is the most priority to let people to where to go. Table of information is needed to be installed. That would have a great help to visitors.
Finally, our organizers perhaps do not know the modern world well in the sense that toilets are essential instead of going to forest nearby. Here I guess some organizers probably in their daily have never used toilets, but go to forest to do the job. But I meant some but not all.
However, I do believe that our organizers have already been aware of this problem. Probably, our organizers have already realized that everything there in the site is new for their visitors, that is why their help to visitors is the most impartant.
