Mr. Toilet
Preface
We are group 15 and open the company name call “Mr. Toilet”. We are proud to present
about our toilet. Because of the toilet is a necessity in daily life, every people should have
it in their home inside. Thoroughly the outside too, all places should have such as Public
Park, Department store, Hotel, Car parking, Official place, Temple, and etc. When we are
go to Thalor market, Myanmar for shopping. I can not find the toilet easily. So, we will
determine to open Toilet Company when lecturer assigns the project. In our project,
separate into seven chapters. It has Introduction, Industry profile, Market feasibility study,
Technical feasibility study, Financial analysis, Risk management, and Summary including
with our resume. Finally, if it have any problem, we are please to responsibility and very
apologize for it.

Introduction
Present, the contagious disease and virus are the one of big problems in the world
because of it can kill lots of people in the world. Since 2000, 10 years pasted, the human in
the world confront the three contagious diseases that impacts to their life; the first is the
“SARS” (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in 2003. It killed 62 persons around the
world and was ill is more than 1,700 persons. Then, in 2004, we met the “Birds Flu-
H5N1” that killed both people and poultry and make people afraid and more concern about
their health. And in 2009, the “H1N1 Flu” is influence to public as far as produce the
vaccine for protect them. So, the human more take care of their health and protect the
disease or virus, and cleaning and well being. They think and concern a means of living;
accommodation, foods, medicinal drug, and clothes. The government engage to protect
from disease is three steps; step one is eat fresh and clean food, step two is use another
spoon for eating with other, and step three is clean your hands and fingers before eating.
In addition, lavatories and rest rooms are the factor that can spread the disease if we
don‟t have good management and operation. The public lavatory is the place which
difference kinds of people and difference behaviors sharing to use them, the important
thing for all. Our company consider about this problems and reasons to protect the
contagious disease and virus. So, we think to do the business about public lavatories which
can support tourists at Mae Sai Border in Chiang Rai Province and Tha Lor Market at
Tachileik in Myanmar because this place is the most popular to shopping and travel. A lot
of people and tourists come to this place in each year. From the statistics of tourists 2008-
2009 in Mae Sai District showed during March to September 2008, more than 50,000
persons for each month and in high season during October 2008 to February 2009, more
than 100,000 persons for each month.
For this reason, Chiang Rai is uppermost province in Thailand erodes still have the
bordered contacts with neighbor country is Myanmar (Tachileik). Chiang Rai has many
tourists in the winter-October to February, because of the weather that is cold and have a
lot of tourist attractions suitable for the tourism such as Doi Tung, Doi Mae Salong, Phu
Chi Fah, White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), Night Braza and walking street , and Mae Sai
Border, etc. Majority tourists come to Chiang Rai is will the countrymen and foreigner
tourists. They want to sightseeing beautiful nature and flowers, and get strange and new
experiences. Chiang Rai has ever to be Lanna Kingdom which famous in the past and still
inherits from the generation to the next generation. The tourist attractions where have the
tourists through is Mae Sai Market and Tha Lor Market at Tachileik in Myanmar because
of Mae Sai Border are a large shopping area and have a lot of goods can choose which
import from China such as bags, shoes, mobile phones, movies and songs, snacks, and etc
as well as more people know them.
The good reasons that we decided to launch lavatory and rest room business at Mae
Sai is that since this place is the most popular of the tourist destinations in Chiang Rai
where everyone has to visit when come to Chiang Rai and there is no such kind like a good
lavatories and rest room services there, which is a very important for the meaning of living
of all human beings and there is a great number of travelers visiting there, but it‟s only at
least having just the poor quality and hard to find one. So we think this is the great golden
opportunity for us to be the first one who catch this chance and launch the clean and high
quality public lavatories and rest rooms with good services at the destination where
thousands of people go there every day.

Historical Evolution:
The perusal of literature brings home the fact that we have only fragmentary
information on the subject of toilet as a private secluded place to help the body relieve its
waste. Sitting type toilets in human history appeared quite early. In the remains of Harappa
civilization in India, at a place called Lothal 62 kilometers from the city of Ahmedabad in
Western India) and in the year 2500 BC, the people had water borne toilets in each house
and which was linked with drains covered with burnt clay bricks. To facilitate operations
and maintenance, it had manhole covers, chambers etc. It was the finest form of sanitary
engineering. But with the decline of Indus valley civilization, the science of sanitary
engineering disappeared from India. From then on, the toilets in India remained primitive
and open defecation became rampant.
Historical evidence exists that Greeks relieved themselves out of the houses. There
was no shyness in use of toilet. It was frequent to see at dinner parties in Rome slaves
bringing in urine pots made of silver; while members of the royalty used it but continued
the play at the same time. Whatever little information is available about history of toilets in
India, it was quite primitive. This practice of covering waste with earth continued till the
Mughal era, where in the forts of Delhi and Agra one can see remnants of such
methodologies to dispose of human waste.
It was also popular in those days to emphasize on the medicinal values of human
waste. Urine was supposed to have many therapeutic values. Some quacks even claimed
that by study of urine they could confidently say whether a young girl was virgin or not.
Hiroshi Umino reports that a Pharaoh got his eye cured by use of urine of a woman, whom
he later married. It was also widely believed that the dung of a donkey mixed with night
soil removes black pustules or urine of a eunuch can help make women fertile. For oral
care it was advised to relieve oneself on one's feet because the divine liquid gives the
required cure. In the Indian scriptures there are stories about the strength of wrestlers. If a
wrestler defecates too much, he is relatively weak because he cannot digest all what he
eats. Similarly, a perfect saint has no need to defecate, for he eats as much as he can digest
or he is able to digest all that he eats. So not to defecate was considered saintly while in
other societies not to defecate was considered manly. Blown Bettelheim states that men of
Chaga tribe blocked their anus during the ceremony of attaining of manhood and pretended
as if they did not defecate at all. This was also one way of establishing superiority over
women. The ancient Greeks it is reported had similar beliefs. Swallowing something and
not taking them out was considered as source of power and authority.
Between the period 500 to 1500 AD was a dark age from the point of view of
human hygiene. It was an era of cesspools and human excreta all around. Rich man's
housing and forts in India had protrusions in which defecation was done and the
excrements fell into the open ground or the river below. The forts of Jaiselmer in India and
big houses on the banks of rivers bear testimony to this fact. In Europe it was an era of
chamber pots, cesspools and close stools. So were the toilets protruding out of the castles
and the excrements from which fell into the river.
It was also an era of "liberty to pee" French poet Claude le Petit described Paris as
'Ridiculous Paris' and in the following words:
There was lot of jest and humor relating to toilet habits and toilet appurtenances.
Ballets were performed with basket of night soil in the form of hood, on the head or a tin
plate commode moving around with toilet sounds. The clothes were spotted with
accessories from the toilet. The actors were etronice (night soil) Sultan Prime of Foirince
(i.e. diarrhea) etc. There are stories given by Guerrand, which depict the mood of Europe at
that time. A lady of noble birth requested a young man to hold his hand. The young man
suddenly feels the urge to urinate. Forgetting that he is holding the hand of a lady of noble
birth he relieves himself. At the end he says "excuse me Madam, there was lot of urine in
my body and was causing great inconvenience", similarly Maid of honor Anne of Austria
owing to excessive laughter, urinated in the bed of the queen. Joseph Pujol (hero
extraordinary of French scatology) in his shows demonstrated many types of farts i.e.
young girl, mother-in-law, and bride. He could even extinguish a candle 30 centimeters
away through his farting.
Gilles Corrozel for example described the toilet in the following vein i.e.
Whether it is situated
Or take the erotic French Poet Eustrog de beaulieu and I dare to translate as follows:
Then will mature and become products of various colors and breaths"
French poet Piron called the faeces as 'Royal Nightsoil. Though ostracized by the academic
community he wrote as follows:
It is night soil
The Urdu poet Chirkin in India was not well recognized by his poet fraternity. Out of
vengeance and to create embarrassment he wrote on human waste and farting. I venture to
share with you the following English version translated from Urdu-the language in which
he wrote.
In the absence of proper toilet facilities, people perforce had to defecate and urinate
wherever they could. Defecating on the road, open spaces, or just easing themselves in the
river was very common.
While the authorities were educating people to have private places for defecating,
and getting it cleaned, in actual practice there was total disorder. Squalor and filth
abounded in cities. The social reformers advised people where to defecate, how to defecate
in privacy and the need to control themselves when in company. Children were taught not
to touch human waste. At the same time, there was no hesitation in letting loose pigs to eat
human excreta.
Number of enactments, however, could not prevent people to defecate in the open.
A delegation led by master weaver protested in front of the French Municipal Building and
said" our fathers have defecated at the place where you prevent us to do. We have
defecated here and now our children will defecate there".
The rich used wool or hemp for ablution. While the poor used grass, stone or sand
or water depending upon the country and weather conditions or social customs. Use of
newspaper was also common. In Russia to the utter dislike of all, the subordinates even
stamped the toilet paper with imperial arms for use of the Czar. But in was termed as
sacrilege. The final solution to the problem of ablution was found when in 1857; Joseph
Cayetty invented the toilet paper in USA. This invention has enabled human beings to have
a tissue paper, which is convenient to use, is absorbent, as well as compact and within
reach while defecating.
In India it is very common to use water for ablution. However, the hand one uses
varies in various parts of India. While in South India, people use the right hand for eating
food, it is considered disgusting to use the same hand for ablution with water. So left hand
is used for sanitary purposes. In most parts of the North India, however, no such sharp
distinction exists.
Household hygiene habits of ordinary people left much to be desired. The dry latrines
using bucket was cleaned by menials. These workers came to be known as Bucket
Brigades'.
According to Hiroshi Umino, European culture blossomed forth after contact with
Crusaders from the East. Washing hands for example before food also became popular.
The social reformers admonished the people by saying "suck your fingers beast; do not
wipe them on the wall". In colonial times in India, the British called big; cities as "vast
mass privy" due to defecation by people at all times and at all places. There were also no
separate toilets for men and women, till a restaurant in Paris put up 'Men Toilet' and
'Women Toilet' at a dance party in 1739 AD.
It is also around this time that the urinal pot was introduced to enable men to relieve
themselves. The facilities for women were niggardly and they were taught virtues of
control. Despite technological breakthrough a lot needed to be accomplished to educate
people to use the new technology appropriately, to ensure that the toilet drainage system is
not misused by disposal of other household wastes. However, at city level the disposal of
human waste still remained a problem.
In each society from time to time the government felt the need to provide public
toilet facilities to those who could not afford to have individual toilets. The public toilets
have a long history in number of countries and most of which were constructed and
managed by municipalities. But there was all around disgust with their poor maintenance,
vandalism and lack of basic facilities. The Mughal King Jehangir built a public toilet at
Alwar, 120 kms away from Delhi for use of 100 families at a time in 1556 AD. Not much
documentary evidence exists on the quality of its maintenance but one can well visualize
that with rudimentary technology and with government to manage the O&M functions, it
like others must be in very unsatisfactory condition. As hygienic conditions in public
toilets were bad, people preferred to do open defecation. This was true in most of the
countries. It was in 1872 that the municipalities in France asked the private companies to
manage public toilets for a lease period of 20 years. The private companies were also
offering even amounts to government as they felt confident to recover the same through
user charges. Ground floor owners were also being requested to construct latrines for use
of the passersby. Previously known as Palais Royal Hotel in Paris, the owners started
charging monthly fee from diners. Incidentally condoms were also sold as part of the
facilities.
manual cleaning was made an offence. But despite these enactments open defecation is
rampant, proving that unless adequate social awareness is created in a developing country
where instruments of state are weak and family income is low, it is a hard task to make
significant progress in this area.
Toilet Technologies
From 1880 onwards, however, the emphasis has been more on aesthetics to make cisterns
and bowls decorative. The bowls were so colorful that some suggested using these as soup
bowls. It was in 1880 that the toilet curtains made their appearance. The trend was called
the age of "Belleepoque" in France and Edwardian (opulence) in England. During 1890 we
had the first cantilever type of toilet. Since then the world has not witnessed any significant
technical change except some change in shape of toilets and reduction in quantity of water
per use.
It was around 1900 that the institution of bathroom came in vogue in Europe. In India the
institution of Gushalkhana (bathroom) was established by the Mughal Kings in 1556.
Oppressed by the heat and dust the Kings constructed luxurious bathing and massage
facilities. But this was only for the rich. The ordinary citizens however lived in unsanitary
conditions.
Unlike in the past when latrines was tucked away in attics to keep it away from nose and
eye of family and society. In contrast the twentieth century has given a pride of place to
toilet in the home-rather these are more opulent, more spacious than any time in the past.
While the provision of toilet in the house solved household problem of cleanliness but the
challenge remained as to how to dispose of human waste at city level. This was also solved
when the sewerage system was introduced. Haussmann in 1858 describes beautifully the
sewerage system. He said that "the underground galleries which are the organs of the big
city will work in the same way as organs of the body, without being revealed.
The pure and fresh water, the heat and light will circulate like the various fluids whose
movement and maintenance are necessary to ensure life. The secretions will not
mysteriously like place there and maintain public health without disturbing the order of the
city and spoiling its outer beauty". Around the same time the sewerage system was
introduced at Calcutta - capital of colonial India. However its extension in the country was
and remains slow as it is capital intensive and beyond the resource capacity of the
economy even today.
In 1970, realizing that sewerage facilities will remain out of the reach of the society at
large, Sulabh International introduced a pioneers technology twin pour flush latrines and
human excreta based Biogas plants. We have constructed in the last 25 years over 650,000
toilets cum bath complexes and 62 human excreta based biogas plants and are maintaining
them. I believe this gives an appropriate solution to dispose of and recycle human waste
into fertilizer, electricity and working gas.
Summing up
As sewerage based toilet remains and will remain out of the reach of the majority of
population in India, the challenge is to propagate and ensure installation of toilets, which
are affordable, upgradeable and easy to maintain. The Sulabh experiment is a success story
and the technology is well established and has been successfully functioning for the last 25
years and is financially sustainable. At household level TPPF latrine based on Sulabh
Model has also been a success and is in use in 650,000 households. It is however, now
necessary in India to replicate it on a mass scale with public pay and use toilets with
Biogas plants at neighborhood level and Sulabh TPPF latrine at household level.
Though the challenged to provide toilet facilities have been totally overcome in rich
countries, it has still to be met in developing countries like India. The journey of toilet has
ended in Europe and North America but continues in the developing countries.

Venice tourist board starts a unique online campaign. Travelers are now able to buy
an online card in order to pre-pay for visits at the local public toilets.
It is unfortunately a very old and common problem for a range of visitors to the
vast majority of European cities: where to use the toilets without having to either find a
large enough trees or being embarrassed into buying something in a coffee shop or pub
purely with the intention of using the WC.
The Venice tourism board has come up with a superb solution, which is likely to
reduce the embarrassment for tourists and reduce the amount of suspicious puddles behind
trees and around park benches. Tickets allowing people to use public toilets, for a certain
amount of time, are now available online. This means that tourists may visit Venice with
peace of mind about using the toilet.
Venice has an average of 20 million visitors per year, so one can imagine not only
the scale of the problem yet also the profit such a scheme could make. 20 million times 1
Euro is a huge amount and people tend to use public facilities more than once a day. Not
only have that, but visitors become very frustrated by the „no toilet‟ signs and the constant
and annoying searched for change when payment is necessary. This should be, in future,
settled by cards, which are now available online and cost 7 Euro for 10 toilet visits. This
card is valid for 5 days over the high season, which should suffice for most visitors who do
not encounter any health problems on their travels.
A further advantage of the scheme is that tourists are likely to add purchases such
as restaurant bookings and sightseeing tours whilst online and in full view of the Venice
tourism advertising material. The scheme, on the face of it, seems to be a winner for
everybody. It only needs time for us to find out whether tourists are willing to carry cards
for the most basic of services.

Dirty, unsanitary conditions in restrooms are on the minds of stadium goers and office
employees today and aiding your facility manager customers in addressing this situation
could help you solidify your relationship with them as a true consultative seller. Such
issues as a lack of cleanliness in the restroom, germs and cross contamination can be easier
than you think to tackle, and the payoff will be well worth the effort.
Corporation‟s Away From Home Sector, Roswell, GA, commissioned three restroom
surveys. Some stadium visitor and office employee responses include:
• Fifty-one percent of office building employees cited dirty washrooms as the top restroom
problem to eliminate by the 21st century.
• More than half the respondents in one survey said they avoid touching dispensers,
handles and other surfaces and worry about contracting germs from dirty public restrooms.
• Seventy-one percent of respondents said they would like to see more low and no-touch
soap, tissue and towel dispensers.
• Fifty-seven percent said a germ-free restroom was the one innovation they would most
like to see in the restroom of the future.
• In the stadium survey, conducted in January 2000, forty-one percent of respondents said
their top pet peeve about stadium restrooms was dirty, unsanitary conditions.
• More than half of the 812 stadium-goers surveyed said they would be willing to pay a
little more for their tickets to be guaranteed a clean restroom.
• Fifty-eight percent of stadium-goers said they deal with dirty, unsanitary restrooms by
touching as few things as possible.
• The top complaint cited by respondents about their fellow fans is people who grab too
many paper towels and drop them on the floor instead of the trash.
• Germ-free restrooms topped the list of choices for the stadium restroom of the future.
• In the June 2000 survey, 69 percent of respondents cited dirty, unsanitary conditions as
their top restroom complaint.
• More than a third of respondents said their biggest frustration in public restrooms is
empty dispensers, followed by bath tissue that breaks off in your hand before you get what
you need (23 percent), 12 percent were bothered by bath tissue resting on top of a
dispenser exposed to “yucky things” and 11 percent were offended by tissue that hangs
down.
• Nearly three quarters of respondents said softness and texture in a bathroom tissue is
either very important or somewhat important to them.
The message of these surveys is clear: stadium-goers and office employees want clean
restrooms so it‟s incumbent upon facility managers to heed the call. The good news is that
there are a wide range of things you can do to help your customers accomplish the goal.
One way is to choose products and systems that address the problems identified in these
surveys. Start by selecting those that help create a cleaner, sanitary environment and ones
that make the best impression possible on visitors to high-traffic facilities like stadiums
and office building tenants.
Limiting Germs, Creating a Cleaner, More Sanitary Environment Hand washing remains
the most effective means of preventing germ transmission and cross-contamination. But
since it‟s impossible to control people‟s hand washing habits, the next best thing you can
do for your customer is to recommend products and systems that promote hygiene in the
restroom.
These systems can also protect people from areas of potential contamination known as “hot
zones.” In the restroom, these zones include the toilet, the floor surrounding it, the sink and
counter and high-touch objects such as handles and levers. Here are some options to
recommend to your customers to help them achieve better restroom hygiene and minimize
the spread of germs.
• No-touch and low-touch systems. A vast array of restroom products today require no-
hands operation or contact only with the product, not with dispenser handles or levers. No-
touch systems include everything from sensor-activated faucets and toilet flushing devices
to card-entry devices that allow someone to enter the restroom without even touching the
door. Low-touch products include enclosed bathroom tissue and paper towel systems that
enable users to touch only the product they will be using. This reduces the potential for
cross-contamination. Because the product is enclosed, it is also protected against dirt and
moisture. In addition, towel and tissue products that offer controlled dispensing reduce
litter and paper debris, which, while not necessarily unsanitary, convey the appearance of
an unclean restroom. Many of these systems can also help avoid run-out and can be
installed without changing your existing dispensers via easy-to-use retrofitting equipment
provided by the manufacturer.
• Don‟t forget soap. Even though soap is a small cost component of a restroom, it is
frequently a prime area of complaint. One study of people‟s hand washing habits found
that nearly half the people who did not wash with soap after the restroom had no choice –
there was none. It‟s important to offer high-capacity or dual cartridge soap systems that
last longer and work properly. Watery, poor-quality soap that clogs up a dispenser and
leaves residue on counters clearly detracts from restroom cleanliness as well. Using a
concentrated, clear antibacterial soap can help reduce germs while adding a level of
comfort for tenants accustomed to using similar products at home.
It is also important to help your customers choose the right products and systems to make
the best impression possible on their restroom visitors. Since softness in bath tissue was
cited as important in one of the surveys, consider offering your customers only the highest
quality two or three-ply products from brand-name bathroom tissue suppliers. These
products are comparable to the ones they are used to purchasing for their own homes.
Another way to upgrade the look of a restroom is to purchase attractive dispensers that
coordinate with existing décor. Look for aesthetically pleasing dispensers, perhaps with
decorator strips, that enhance the image of your restroom.
Quality soaps that provide a rich lather, and hand lotions to leave hands feeling smooth and
soft add to the restroom experience, too.
Remember, by incorporating some of these tips you‟ll be able to help your customers
create hygienic, sanitary restroom environments that leave a positive impression on
stadium visitors and office building tenants and visitors.
When walking into an office building, it‟s easy to become wowed by the lobby or a
particular office space. But tenants spend a lot more time in the restroom, visiting 3-5
times a day on average - or more than three work days a year.
If this isn‟t enough to make a case for clean, well stocked and appealing restrooms,
consider this fact: problem restrooms can have a lasting impact on perceptions of an
establishment as a whole, according to a recent survey undertaken by Opinion Research
International for Kimberly-Clark. More than three-quarters of respondents said that broken
or vandalized dispensers in public restrooms would negatively affect their overall opinion
of the facility. An even greater number -- 82 percent -- said broken, damaged or vandalized
dispensers would lead them to think the restroom was neglected by management, while
more than half said these conditions would cause them to view the restroom as unsanitary.
Office buildings and other public restrooms are visited by a large number of people on a
daily basis. And massive use can mean abuse from rough treatment of dispensers -- from
jammed levers to cigarette burns, to trash on the floor, dripping water or soap, pilferage
and even graffiti.
To avoid these problems, evaluate the types of abuses that typically occur in a facility like
yours, the users visiting the restroom, their restroom use patterns, your equipment
maintenance procedures and the typical lifecycle and replacement needs of washroom
products. Then evaluate the design, installation materials and restroom products used to
make sure they are more durable and can handle high traffic and abuse situations. This may
involve a simple retrofit of the restroom or a total rehabilitation.
Research each product area you require in your office building. Some suggestions include
the use of:
No Touch Soap Systems: These units dispense an appropriate amount of soap into a user‟s
hands as they put them under the dispenser. As such, they limit the amount of soap
dispensed at one time and take longer to dispense than push systems. Thus they minimize
the waste factor. A push system also is less likely to be ripped off the wall.
Paper Towel Dispensers: Again, the key is to look for more durable products that can
better withstand the rigors of traffic, vandalism and abuse and still work properly. An
option here is an ABS plastic, double-thick walled construction dispenser with a contoured
design and no hard corners. This type of product withstands greater impact and force if
grabbed or hit and because it is rounded, it is less likely to be a resting place for cigarettes.
Thus, it will incur fewer burn marks than standard dispensers. Also locking mechanisms,
which come on this type of dispenser, deter theft and vandalism.
Mirrors: As they are traditionally glass, in high traffic or vandal-prone school restrooms
they can shatter and break. An option to consider here is polished stainless steel. These
come with or without frames. Shatter-resistant or laminated glasses are other options. Or, if
you already have glass mirrors, you can protect the glass with a plastic shield.
Personal Care Dispensers: Recessed solid phenol-faced or curved stainless steel are the
best options for dispensing sanitary napkins, tampons, and condoms. As with bathroom
and towel dispensers, choose units with locking mechanisms to protect not only the
products, but the money inserted to pay for them.
Partitions: Many times restrooms are designed and built using inexpensive materials.
Partitions which can be banged, beaten, written or painted on are bound to cause problems.
Finished stainless steel panels and man-made “stone look-a-likes” are strong and offer
effective surfaces for deterring graffiti.
Dark, solid phenol partitions are less apt to be defaced by graffiti and it is less likely to be
visible if written on. Chemical Protestants can be helpful, too, to keep paint or markers
from sinking in to surfaces. They facilitate easier removal. Sacrificial plastic film can also
protect partitions from being permanently damaged.
Bathroom Tissue Dispensers with Rounded or Contoured Design: Again, look for
dispensers made of durable plastic with extra thick wall construction and reinforcement.
They won‟t dent like stainless steel. And with a contoured design, patrons can‟t rest
cigarettes on the dispenser, minimizing burn marks.
Protective Seat Cover Dispensers: Consider solid phenol or curved stainless steel as they
are strong materials which resist abuse. Also look for one at a time dispensing of seat
covers so individuals only touch the product they will use. In addition, one-at-a-time
dispensing helps minimize waste from people pulling out too many towels at once.
Trash Receptacles: Receptacles should be solid phenol faced and recessed because they are
less prone to impact. They should also be placed right below the towel dispensers if
possible. By doing so, less trash is likely to end up on the floor.
General Areas
Entry Doors: Fiber glass reinforced plastic doors are a good choice as they are lightweight,
strong and carry fire ratings up to one-and-a-half hours. They work well in high abuse
areas as they are durable and resistant to scuff marks and graffiti, which usually wash right
off. In addition, they resist bacteria, mildew and rust.
Gauge is also important as far as doors are concerned. High-abuse situations warrant
heavier gauge doors. Doors that are 18-20 gauges are suggested.
Caulking: Caulk or grout that is waterproof and offers a glass-like finish should be
considered. This material is difficult to write on and doesn‟t allow absorption or bleeding
into crevices.
Flooring: A good product choice here is vinyl floors with nylon facing. This type of
flooring is durable, resists staining, and is easy to clean.
By taking into account the restroom products and systems installed as well as adopting a
common sense approach to implementing policies for maintaining them, both users and
building services personnel overseeing high traffic restrooms will feel good about having
better looking, well-equipped and well-functioning surroundings.
Remember, spending more dollars up front on restroom equipment that can withstand
abuse can help prevent costly maintenance, repair or replacement later on.
First, design the new restroom or retrofit the existing one so it is difficult to vandalize or
deface with graffiti. Next, research each product area you require in your restroom. Some
suggestions include the use of:
No Touch Soap Systems: These units dispense an appropriate amount of soap into a
customer‟s hands as they put them under the dispenser. As such, they limit the amount of
soap dispensed at one time and take longer to dispense than push systems. Thus they
minimize the waste factor if a student is purposely attempting to use up the supplies.
Sensor-Operated Faucets: An automated on-off function on the faucets can limit the
use of water, important for people who want to purposely leave the water running. In
addition, the hands-free operation can aid those interested in water conservation and ADA
accessibility as well.
Partitions: Install the best partitions available, those that guarantee resistance to graffiti.
Many times restrooms are designed and built using inexpensive materials. Partitions which
can be banged, beaten, written or painted on are bound to cause problems. Finished
stainless steel panels and man-made “stone look-a-likes” are strong and offer effective
surfaces for deterring graffiti.
Dark, solid phenol partitions are less apt to be defaced by graffiti and it is less likely to be
visible if written on. Chemical Protestants‟ can be helpful, too, to keep paint or markers
from sinking in to surfaces. They facilitate easier removal. Sacrificial plastic film can also
protect partitions from being permanently damaged.
Trash Receptacles: Receptacles should be solid phenol faced and recessed because they are
less prone to impact and graffiti. They should also be placed right below the towel
dispensers if possible. By doing so, less trash is likely to end up on the floor.
Caulking: Use caulk or grout that is waterproof and offers a glass-like finish. This material
is difficult to write on and doesn‟t allow absorption or bleeding into crevices.
Doors: Fiber glass reinforced plastic doors are a good choice as they are lightweight,
strong and carry fire ratings up to one-and-a-half hours. They work well in high abuse
areas as they are durable and resistant to graffiti and scuff marks, which usually wash right
off. In addition, they resist bacteria, mildew and rust. Gauge is also important as far as
doors are concerned. High-abuse situations warrant heavier gauge doors. Doors that are 18-
20 gauges are best to use.
Flooring: A good product choice here is vinyl floors with nylon facing. This type of
flooring is durable, resists staining by graffiti artists, and is easy to clean.
Bathroom Tissue and Towel Dispensers: Again, the key is to look for more durable
products that can better withstand the rigors of traffic, vandalism and abuse and still work
properly. An option here is an ABS plastic, double thick walled construction dispenser
with a contoured design and no hard corners. This type of product withstands greater
impact and force if grabbed or hit and because it is rounded, it is less likely to be a resting
place for cigarettes. Thus, it will incur fewer burn marks than standard dispensers. Also
locking mechanisms, which come on this type of dispenser, deter theft and vandalism.
Lighting: Restrooms should have fixtures that provide uniform lighting levels with a good
color-rendering index (CRI). Poorly designed fixtures with discolored diffusers go a long
way to making a restroom look dingy. Dark, shadowy, off-color lighting can create the
impression that the restroom isn‟t clean. Lighting levels are too high waste energy.
Mirrors: As they are traditionally glass, in vandal-prone restrooms they can shatter and
break. An option to consider here is polished stainless steel. These come with or without
frames. Shatter-resistant or laminated glasses are other options. Or, if you already have
glass mirrors, you can protect the glass with a plastic shield.
Personal Care and Protective Seat Cover Dispensers: Recessed solid phenol-faced or
curved stainless steel is the best options for dispensing sanitary napkins, tampons, seat
covers and condoms. As with bathroom and towel dispensers, choose units with locking
mechanisms to protect not only the products, but the money inserted to pay for them.
Unfortunately some level of vandalism will occur in restrooms. Using durable materials
and products meant for high traffic and abuse situations will help deter vandalism.
Consider, too, these tips:
• A graffiti board - if you provide a space such as a chalkboard and chalk for graffiti,
chances are it will be used and may deter more serious work with markers or paint.
• Keep cleansers, pigmented primer and matching surface paints available for quick clean-
ups and paint over.
Establishing policies for restroom usage, monitoring and maintenance will help to
minimize the damage vandals can cause as well.
• Keeping restroom doors open at all times. By keeping the doors open and enabling easy
access into the restroom by administrators, teachers or monitors, the temptation to deface
property is reduced. Restrooms, in many cases, can still allow privacy to users even when
the main doorway to the hallway is left open.
• Assigning staff members times throughout the day to check on the restrooms.
• Making repairs quickly. A poorly maintained, run down restroom provides the perfect
opportunity for continued defacing. Again, a well maintained, well equipped restroom is
less likely to be vandalized.
• Keeping the purchase of restroom products standard. By doing so, the maintenance and
repair of systems is simpler. In addition, less time is spent shopping around for
replacement parts from a large number of manufacturers.
• If a smoke-free restroom is your goal, consider having people who are caught smoking
scrub the walls.

Situation of industry
The public toilet can be seen in world wild of the world. A lot of public toilets are
giving a bad feeling for the one who use the toilet because most of the toilets are dirty and
no rule or the code of conduct to the toilet users. And there many of toilet situations on
different places: such as “The public restrooms in the markets are a different story, though.
They usually stink, and the pails provided inside cubicles were dirty so it's not really safe
to use the water there aside from pouring into the toilet bowl.” “I had this infection once
and since that day I promised to myself that I will try even in hard times not to go there, in
the city here, it is horrible to see the toilets because it is very an extremely dirty so I prefer
to help myself in the office itself before going to take the bus.” “The majority of our public
restrooms are just acceptable. There are ones which are cleaner and smell nicer than others;
even if they look clean they do not always smell nice. I cannot see why people do not use
them properly; they would not use their own toilet in that way. The restrooms in
department stores are always spotless and fresh so if I need to use the restroom I will
always go to a store if I am in that area. If I have to use a public toilet I try to touch as little
as possible and always carry a packet of antibacterial wipes to clean my hands.” Most of
them said that public toilets are dirty and they may avoid public toilets it is possible on the
situation of the worldwide. However the situation that seem in Mae Sai, Tachileik
Myanmar boarder also in similar case like hardly to find and even you find it, it may not
clean like you think.

Market Analysis
a. Political: At Tha Lor Market, Tachileik, people can do the business but must
contract between owner and our company. The right business can do. The owner should
pay 1 percent from rental for government in Myanmar. We develop old toilet at shrine,
centre of Tha Lor Market, to new toilet of Mr. Toilet‟ Brand.
b. Economy: We seem that there are very good of the economy for invest on
Tachileik, Myanmar. There are a lot of tourists went to shopping for 50,000 per month in
low season and 200,000 per month. So tourists‟ not just only Thai people but also
foreigners come to spend money. From statistic of tourists in Mae Sai, Chiang Rai during
peak season 2008- 2009 show more forty- fifty thousand million baht will increase about
10-15 percent. In low season, Mae Sai and Tachileik while have more tourists each month.

Background of Myanmar
The land
Myanmar is a wonderful country which is a land of
friendly people, a land of the million pagodas, full of ancient
religious monuments, snowcapped mountains, pristine
beaches, virgin jungles, various scenic beauties and different
national races. Myanmar formerly known as "Burma" has
been existence for centuries, is the largest country in the
South-east Asia Peninsula sharing borders with Bangladesh,
India, China, Laos and Thailand. Total land area is
676577sq.km, it is about the size of Texas and the size of
United Kingdom and France combined.
Wherever you go you will catch glimpses of times past, real
or imagined, but it is the hospitality and friendliness of the
people of this "golden land" which is most striking their
tolerance of different religions and cultures, respect for each
other and heartfelt smiles.
The History
Myanmar was organized as a strong union in the early 11th Century by King
Anawrahta who unified the country through his strong leadership and intellect. In the
middle of the 16th Century, King Bayinnaung established the second Union of Myanmar.
Myanmar was thirdly unified in 1752 by King Alaungpaya, the founder of the last dynasty
of Myanmar. She was annexed in three stages by the British after three Anglo-Myanmar
Wars in 1825, 1852 and 1885. During the Second World War, Myanmar was occupied by
the Japanese for nearly three years until the Allied Forces' reoccupation in 1945.Myanmar
a sovereign independent state on January 4, 1948.
Climate
Myanmar has a tropical climate with three distinct seasons: the hot season from
March through with average temperatures in the 30s and occasionally over 40C, the
monsoon or rainy season is from the end of May to the beginning of October with frequent
short rainstorms and humidity, the cool dry season from October to February which is dry
and with temperatures ranging from 21C to 28C. Myanmar proudly has tourist friendly
climate.
Economy
Since late 1988, Myanmar has replaced the centrally planned economy to a more
liberalized economic policy based on market-oriented system. In moving towards a more
market oriented economy, Myanmar has more liberalized domestic and international trade,
promoting the role of private sector and opening up to foreign investment.
Geography
Myanmar has the total area of 676,577 sq. km, it is twice the size of Vietnam and
about the size of United Kingdom and France combined. Geographically, Myanmar is the
largest country in South-East Asia Peninsula sharing borders with Bangladesh, India,
China, Laos and Thailand.
Myanmar is forest-clad mountainous country. Three parallel chains of mountain
ranges run from north to south: the Western Yoma or Rakhine Yoma, the Bago Yoma and
the Shan Plateau. They begin from the eastern extremity of the Himalaya mountain range.
The peak of the Hkakabo-Razi at 5,881 meters (18,000 feet) is the highest in South-East
Asia. These mountain chains divide the country into three river systems: the Ayeyarwaddy,
the Sittaung and the Thanlwin. The Ayeyarwaddy , the most important river, about 2,170
km (1350 miles) long, and its major tributary, the Chindwinn, 960 km (600 miles) long,
constitute the greatest rivering system in the country. As it joins the sea, the Ayeyarwaddy
forms a vast delta of 240 km (150 miles) by 210 km (130 miles). According to these
mountain chains and river systems, the country can be divided into seven major
topographic regions : the Northern Hills, the Western Hills, the Shan plateau, the Central
Belt, the Lower Myanmar Delta, the Rakhine Coastal Region and Tanintharyi Coastal
Strip.
Religion
Over 80 % of Myanmar are Buddhists. There are also Christians, Muslims, Hindus
and even some animists. However there is full freedom of worship for followers of other
religions. Christian missionaries have been active in Myanmar for over 150 years. Among
them, the American Baptists were first on the scene.
The People
Myanmar has a population of about 55 million. There are 135 different ethnic
groups and 8 main national races with their own traditional cultures, customs and believing
systems. The main major races are Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Chin, Bamar, Mon, Rakhine and
Shan. The 70 percent of the population are ethnic Bamar.
Cultures
Languages
The major language is Myanmar and English is widely used and understood.
National Flag
The dominating color of the national flag is red. The rectangular space at the upper
left corner is blue. In it could be seen the figure of a paddy stalk and a pinion encircled by
14 white stars of uniform size. The paddy represents the peasants while the pinion stands
for the workers who form the majority of the people in the country, 14 uniform white stars
symbolize the equal status and union spirit of the 7 States and 7 Divisions that constitute
the Union of Myanmar.
The white in the flag signifies purity; the red indicates bravery and upright nature
of the people; and the blue stands as a symbol of peace and stability in the country.
Currency
Myanmar requires a valid passport of minimum 6 months. Myanmar visa for all
visitors can be obtained at all Myanmar Embassies or Consulates with validity for 28 days
and extendable for another 14 days. Application forms in duplicate with three passport size

Tachilek
Tachileik is in Shan State, Myanmar, on the border with Thailand. Although just 5
mater across the river from Mae Sai, the most northern town in Thailand, Tachileik is in a
whole different world. The happy outgoing atmosphere that you have been used to in 'the
land of smiles' in Thailand evaporates instantly and is replaced by a tense and
uncomfortable one. This is not to say that the Burmese people are not welcoming, indeed
they love tourists and are very keen to sit down and talk (when they think they are not
being watched), but do not expect to feel at ease here, and do not be surprised if you are
followed by government people throughout the town. The main benefit of visiting here is
the ability to go to Myanmar without the stress of getting a visa.
The town is a typical border trading town with a twist. The majority of people
crossing over to Myanmar is Thais shopping for bootlegged Chinese goods in the market.
Alternatively some Thais cross to play golf in the only course in the region so expect to see
the very surreal site of large groups of people crossing the border carrying a set of clubs.
If you are expecting to see 'the real Myanmar' this is not the place to do it. If you
are 'Stamp collecting' in your passport, want to see something a bit more visceral than what
you find in Thailand or are at a loose end in Chiang Rai for the day then this is a good
place to go.
Tachileik market
Tachilek is much like any market you would find on the Thai side of the border
except that it sells a large quantity of items that would get you into a good deal of trouble
with your customs authority back home.
You can find the entire latest DVD's at prices ranging from 40 Baht. As long as you
don't go mad with the quantity you should have no problems getting them back into
Thailand, as for taking them back home, that depends on your countries customs policies.
Expect, occasionally to see wildlife, endangered animal pelts and skulls, though
these are rarely seen in the main part of the market. Local handicrafts range from kitsch to
genuine Shan clothing.
Knocked off prescription drugs (in particular Viagra) and X rated films are carried
around by very annoying, but licensed hawkers. Knives and guns are freely available Do
Not Buy the Cigarettes as they are usually Burmese knock offs put into western branded
packages and will likely get you into trouble when you try and return into Thailand.
Be wary that if you do intend to shop here the Thai customs authority screen every
bag returning to Thailand and do not take kindly to many of the things sold in the market.
This applies mainly to returning Thais however, Foreigners bags are hardly ever screened
as long as the bearer looks presentable

In our business, we pay for the advertisement such as poster both big and small,
leaflet, or brochure. The main marketing expenses of Mr. Toilet will be paid on the
advertising on poster, leaflet and TV. To let traveler or customers know that Mr. Toilet
already launched at Tachileik shopping market. Moreover about the service amenities and
cleanness that are the strange of Mr. Toilet, so we have the budget those amenities for
cleaners also.
Conclusion
From analysis this project would run well by looking on the marketing analysis
because we are the one company that launched the public toilet in that area. There is no
one who provides the cleanness of the service standard and we are quite sure that this
project will run very smoothly.

a) Product characteristic: The flushing apparatus with his stool being deposited on
the dry section opposite the flushing end, and flushing higher dry section of the toilet is
washed towards the pool of water at the flushing end. And the flush toilet is a toilet that
disposes of human waste by using water to flush it through a drainpipe to another location.
However we are doing the public service toilet se are going to choice the flush toilet and
provide the cleanest of the public toilet around that area. About the product specification,
feathers dimension and Life time, we are going to do a service and this service will be the
service that people need to do in daily life and especially where you are going to travel, it
is public toilet. Our public travel will different with other public toilet around that area
because the cleaning of toilet is one of the main factor that influence people to use it or not.
b) Service Process: As we are the public toilet, the process of the service will be
started from the first step that users get into the area by as we are the new service provider
we will have the bill board on the bridges across boarder. We also have the speaker to
speak in front. After they know the location they will think about where the public on. So
they will came and going to use it. We also have the housekeeper to clean after the users
finished their stuff. We are going have the massage to provide.
c) Location: The users can easily found on the location of the public toilet. The
location will be located on the area after we cross boarder and we walk down from the stair
and walk straight to the intersection of the block and turn left and we will have a billboard
to give the direction on it. The billboard is easy to recognize because the street is quite big
and easy to give the user to see it.
-The very important of our facility layout is to make people know our location. So
we going to have advertisement on fist in local radio, billboard and we will have a speaker
to attract people to come.
-For the Machine/Tools/ Equipments of this part will be on the operation part.
e) Logistics Management: For the services product the main logistics is how to take
the users to use our service. There is the area that people are shopping at there and with the
billboard, and advertising we believe that is not hard to take them to use the services.

Poster 20,000
Handbill 5,000
Land and Building: we develop and improve old toilet at a shrine so we don‟t pay for land
but we give 30 percent of profit for shrine each month.
We change the old style of toilet to flush because it easy to use and standard. The site
seeing within the toilet is safety and clean. We have machine to help clean more.
Operating Cost
We employ 2 local people to work but who must can communication and
understand at least three languages; Thai, Myanmar, and English, because of we want to
distribute income to local area. We train and teach them to develop their personality and
attitude.
Each day, we employ four persons for work. There are two collect money person
and two maids for clean male and female toilet. We pay for employ 3,500 baht per person
per month.
Management Analysis
-Administration cost: We service the public toilet at Ta Lor Market so the administration
cost is pay for rent and use the electricity and water supply. In Ta lor Market, rate of
electricity per unit per month is 20 Baht and water supply, we pay 200 Baht per month.
Two things of above are important for our company because we use them every day and
large quantity.

Risk Management
Chapter 6
Risk management
Identify
All businesses have risks for the business. The risk can cause loss on the business even
though its risk is not occurring probably. So in the first step we have to identify the risk on
our business that can cause loss. As we are the public toilet the risks would be
And also we can divide the forces that can produce the risk for our company. It can
divided in two main forces are
1. External forces
General environment
Political, there is not risk on it because our business (service) has no problem with
the policy with the government because that area it‟s the private buildings zone so we
just negotiate with the building owners about the policies.
Economical, the rate of the currency is not the problem with currency because the
boarder always use in Thai baths. The wage on that is according on my working
experience and I have many friends working on that area so the wage is quite higher
rate.
Technology: No risks on our service because we use the modern equipments for
serve the customers.
Social: there is mixing of the cultural on the area however we will set the standard
restrooms for the customers. The social is the tourists‟ destination so people need to do
their stuff in toilet. And also have many of different on gender and also on ages.
Project Feasibility Study and Evaluation 2/2009
MR.TOILET Company 76
Competitive forces
Rivalry among Competitive: Even though the exciting of the competitor have 4-5
on the zone but the quality on our service is much better on the cleanness of toilet, the
higher standard of the services, and so on.
Potential Entry of new competitors: The percentage of the entry on the public
toilet is not easy because the land cost of the building cost many and it is hard to find
the location.
Potential development of substitute products: there is no substitute product on
the service of public toilet.
Bargaining power of Supplier: no risk on suppliers because standard cost on
electric cost. No production but provide on the service.
Bargaining power of customer: It does seem to have a problem on the cost
because if tourists do not concern on the cleanness so they may go to other places.
- Population of the users that come to take our services: The most difficult threat and
also if the population will rise up it will turn to be the opportunity for our service.
So the way that we will turn it to be our opportunity is we will focus on the
promotion that buy one get one free instant of discount the price.
- The demand of the tourists: The demand of tourists is it‟s depend on the seasoning,
the festival, the holiday and so on but generally the damage of the tourists will
increase will increase on the weekend, festival, the holiday and also on seasoning.
However the normal day the demand can also increase because the attractive
options that adds on the service is mini one day trip program and the searching
services on buy something that tourists can add on.
- The location of the toilet: the location it seem hard to see but we are pretty sure that
the location it stay on the building that locate on the center of the zone.
- The level of confident in our services & Scare of the service in Myanmar: As we
know tourist need safety especially in aboard so we can make them feel safe by
grandee on the service that our stakeholder is Thai people but manage buy the local
people. Plus the grandee on the local people on doing the mini trip by plus
insurance.
- The flooding: during on rainy season the water on the river will flood up but it
cause very small loss on our product and now the local people develop and protect
it so it is not much to worry.
- The Cost on the services: Also a huge problem to loss the users on toilet however
with the service I believe that tourists just pay a bit more them will get more than
what they paid.

Summary
Chapter 7
Summary
Toilet service it took like easy to build up but the important part is how we can
attract people to use our toilet. The amount of the user is the most important for making
profit. However the location of toilet is the great opportunity for locate on the Tar-Loa
market and there are a lot of tourists went to there every year. Even for discount 40%-60%
according from report we can still gain the profit on service. The project from doing
business of toilet, the first investment and gain for the profit for nest future year and also
strength from the services which is a clean toilet and best toilet around that area. And so
the other service that added is mini tour program that will bring tourists to visit around the
city and also with the extra service that tourists can hire stuff to find the thing that they
want called “Google searching system” that can find any that you looking. For the building
with the land fee the 30% out of 100% can solve the problem of the cost on the land that
cause very expensive. Even though the high risk on the amount of user come to use
however we believe that our extra service and the reason the we can high up the level of
confident of the user.

อ่าเภอแม่สาย
ประวัติ
ตลาดแม่สายเป็นตลาดการค้าชายแดนที่มีชื่อเสียงมานานหลายสิบปี เนื่องจากชาวพม่าและชนกลุ่มน้อยจะเข้ามาซื้อ
สินค้าอุปโภคบริโภคต่าง ๆ จากฝั่งไทยอย่างคึกคัก นักท่องเที่ยวสามารถเดินข้ามไปท่องเที่ยวท่าขี้เหล็กได้โดยไม่ต้อง
ออกหนังสือผ่านแดน ภายหลังเกิดการรบพุ่งระหว่างรัฐบาลพม่ากับกองก่าลังชนกลุ่มน้อย และกลา ยเป็นปัญหาขัดแย้ง
ระหว่างสองประเทศ จึงมีการปิดด่านอยู่เนือง ๆ แต่ก็มีการเจรจาจนสถานการณ์คลี่คลายไปด้วยดี อย่างไรก็ตามปัญหา
ชนกลุ่มน้อย ยาเสพติด ท่าให้การผ่านแดนต้องเป็นไปอย่างเข้มงวด คนไทยจึงต้องท่าหนังสือผ่านแดนหากต้องการไป

ภาพอาคารพาณิชย์ที่เรียงรายจากด่านตรวจคนเข้าเมืองของเมียนมาร์ไปตามถนนสายหลักสู่วงเวียนซึ่งมีแผ่น
ป้ายเขียนด้วยอักษรสีทอง "THE CITY OF GOLDEN TRIANGLE" ก่อนที่จะแยกไปด้านตะวันออกและตะวันตกของ
ต่าบลท่าขี้เหล็ก รวมทั้งตัวอาคาร โรงแรมและห้างสรรพสินค้า ที่ก่าลังเริ่มโหมก่อสร้างมากกว่า 15 แห่งในปัจจุบัน
พอจะใช้เป็นเสมือนดัชนีบ่งชี้ถึงการพัฒนาทางด้านเศรษฐกิจและการค้าของเมืองชายแดนสองฟากฝั่งแม่น้่าที่เรียกขานว่า
"แม่สาย" ได้เป็นอย่างดี ที่ส่าคัญ ภาพพัฒนาการดังกล่าวมีสหสัมพันธ์ในเชิงบวก ต่อภาวะการเติบโตทางด้านเศรษฐกิจ
ทั้งนี้เนื่องมาจากมีองค์ประกอบที่เป็นปัจจัยสนับสนุนให้เห็นถึงแนวโน้มอนาคตของความเติบโตทางด้าน
เศรษฐกิจในภูมิภาคดังกล่าว ไม่ว่าจะเป็นภาคใต้ของจีนอันได้แก่มณฑลยูนนาน และมณฑลเฉสวน จากตัวเลขปี 2534
รวบรวมโดยนิตยสารเอเชียอิงค ์ เฉพาะมณฑลยูนานมี จ่านวนประชากรประมาณ 37.8 ล้านคร มีพื้นที่ 494,000 ตาราง
กิโลเมตร ผลผลิตมวลรวมประชาชาติ 8,000 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ มูลค่าการส่งออก 401 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ มูลค่าการน่าเข้า

ผลผลิตมวลรวมประชาชาติ 23.7 พันล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ มูลค่าการส่งออก 1,300 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ และมูลค่าการน่าเข้า

นอกจากนี้ในสาธารณรัฐประชาธิปไตยประชาชนลาว บริษัทครอบครัวอุษามีโครงการเข้าไปขอรับสัมปทาน
สร้างถนนลาดยางมาตรฐานจากเมืองห้วยทราย แขวงบ่อแก้ว (ตรงข้ามอ่าเภอเชียงของ เชียงราย ) ไปยังเวียงภูคา แขวง

จากจีนลงมาไทย ถาน อิง เซิง อธิบดีกรมรถไฟ มณฑลยูนนาน กล่าวกับ "ผู้จัดการ" ว่ามณฑลยูนนานมีโครงการร่วมกับ
พม่า ลาว ไทย กัมพูชา และเวียดนาม ในการพัฒนาเครือข่ายทางรถไฟเป็นโครงการร่วมของ 6 ชาติที่ทุกชาติต้องเห็นพ้อง
กันทั้งนี้ทางกรมการรถไฟ มณฑลยูนนานมีโครงการที่วางรางรถไฟจากเมืองคุนหมิง ไปยังซือเหมาและอีกเส้นหนึ่ง
ออกไป เสียงหยุน เมืองล่า และเข้าสู่ประเทศลาว ผ่านหลวงน้่าทาเข้าสู่แขวงบ่อแก้วโครงการนี้มีก่าหนดเอาไว้ใน
แผนงานปี 2540
แผนการดังกล่าวสอดคล้องกับแผนงานของการรถไฟแห่งประเทศไทย ที่มีแนวคิดในการสร้างทางรถไฟจาก
เด่นชัย แพร่ ขึ้นไปยังเชียงราย ซึ่งขณะนี้ได้ว่าจ้างที่ปรึกษาจากอังกฤษเข้ามาศึกษาขั้นต้นไปแล้ว ส่าหรับโครงการพัฒนา
เครือข่ายคมนาคมทางบกนี้เป็นที่น่าสนใจเนื่องจากจีนพม่า และกัมพูชาได้เข้าร่วมโครงการทางสายเอเชีย (ASIAN
HIGHWAY PROJECT) และโครงการรถไฟทรานเอเชีย (TRANS ASIAN RAILWAYS) ซึ่งจะสามารถเชื่อมต่อเส้นทาง
คมนาคมทางบกระหว่างเอเชียกับทวีปยุโรปได้อย่างสะดวกในอนาคต ในการพัฒนาเครือข่ายคมนาคมทางอากาศ
ปัจจุบันสนามบินเชียงรายได้รับการก่อสร้างให้เป็นสนามบินนานาชาติ และมีโ ครงการเปิดเส้นทางบินระหว่างเมืองต่าง
ๆ ในวงกลม 5 เชียง ได้แก่เชียงรุ่ง เชียงราย เชียงใหม่ เชียงตุง เชียงทอง (หลวงพระบาง) นอกเหนือไปจากการเปิด
เส้นทางการบินที่ส่าคัญ ๆ เช่น กรุงเทพฯ- เชียงใหม่-คุนหมิง เชียงใหม่- มัณฑะเลย์ เชียงใหม่- สิงคโปร์ กรุงเทพ- เวียง
จันทร์ ฯลฯ ส่วนการพัฒนาเส้นทางคมนาคมทางน้่า หลังจากคณะกรรมการร่วมมือส่ารวจแม้น้่าโขง-ลานซ้าง ไทย พม่า
ลาว และจีน ได้ด่าเนินการส่ารวจแม่น้่าโขง- ลานซ้าง ครั้งที่สามก็ได้มีการเสนอให้ประเทศในลุ่มแม่น้่าโขง ร่วมมือกัน
พัฒนาเส้นทางเดินเรือในแม่น้่าดังกล่าว โดยฝ่ายจีนได้ท่าการระเ บิดเกาะแก่งในแม่น้่าช่วงอยู่ในเขตประเทศจีนไปแล้ว
และเสนอแนวคิดในการระเบิดแก่งช่วงที่อยู่ในประเทศพม่าและลาว
หากว่าการพัฒนาเครือข่ายคมนาคมดังกล่าวลุล่วงตามโครงการ จากเชียงรายสามารถเดินทางไปยังเมืองต่าง ๆ
ที่ส่าคัญในอนุภูมิภาคหกเหลี่ยมเศรษฐกิจได้โดยสะดวก ทั้งในเส้นทางบก ทางน้่า ทางอากาศ แต่ก่อนที่เชียงรายจะไปถึง
จุดนั้นได้ อาจจะใช้เวลานานพอสมควรทุกวันนี้ตัวจังหวัดเชียงราย ไม่ได้คึกคักเท่ากับอ่าเภอแม่สาย ซึ่งติดต่อกับพม่าได้
โดยตรง แม่สายมีฐานะเป็นเมืองค้าชายแดนที่ส่าคัญแห่งหนึ่งของไทยมาเป็นเวลานาน และเริ่มขยายตัวอย่างรวดเร็ว
ในช่วงทศวรรษที่ผ่านมา ก่อนที่จะเริ่มก้าวเข้าสู่ยุคแห่งการค้าไร้พรมแดนเมื่อเริ่มมีการพูดกันถึงโครงการสี่เหลี่ยม

นอกจากนี้ "สิงคโปร์ สแควร์ " ยังเปิดบริการรับสั่งซื้อสินค้าจากสิงคโปร์ ฮ่องกง ไต้หวัน ญี่ปุ่น ยุโรป และ

"เราอนุโลมให้ลูกค้าชาวพม่าใช้บัตรประชาชนพม่าเป็นหลักฐานในการเปิดบัญชี แต่ถ้าลูกค้ารายใดไม่มีบัตร
ประชาชนเราก็จะใช้ลายพิมพ์นิ้วมือเป็นหลักฐาน" เจ้าหน้าที่คนเดิมกล่าว อย่างไรก็ตาม ยังมีพ่อค้าแม่ค้าบางรายนิยมใช้
บริการเงินออมกับธนาคารท้องถิ่นของพม่า อ้ายหน พ่อค้าจ่าหน่ายศิลปโบราณวัตถุในตลาดท่าขี้เหล็ก บอกกับ
"ผู้จัดการ" ว่าเขาเปิดบัญชีเงินฝากทั้งในธนาคารไทยที่แม่สาย และธนาคารท้องถิ่นของพม่าเพราะธนาคารท้องถิ่น
รับประกันว่าจะมีการชดใช้เงินฝากหากมีการยกเลิกเงินจั๊ต
นอกจากธนาคารพาณิชย์แห่งนี้แล้วยังมีธนาคารพาณิชย์ของไทยแห่งอื่น ๆ ที่ลูกค้าชาวพม่าต่างก็นิยมไปใช้
บริการไม่แพ้กัน เม็ดเงินที่ก่าลังหลั่งไหลผ่านเมืองท่าขี้เหล็กโดยการชูธงด้านการท่องเที่ยว ท่าให้รัฐบาลพม่า ไม่สามารถ
ที่จะหยุดนิ่งเฉยปล่อยให้โอกาสอันงดงาม ผ่านไปโดยเปล่าประโยชน์ได้ สถิติจากด่านตรวจคน เข้าเมืองของพม่าระบุว่า
ในวันธรรมดา จะมีนักท่องเที่ยวชาวไทยและชาวต่างประเทศเดินทางไปยังเมือง ท่าขี้เหล็กของพม่าประมาณ 2000-3000
คน หากไปวันหยุดนักขัตฤกษ์ หรือวันเสาร์- อาทิตย์จะมีนักท่องเที่ยวเดินทางเข้ามาอีกเท่าตัว หากเป็นช่างเทศกาล เช่น
วันปีใหม่, ตรุษจีน หรือวันสงกรานต์ จ่านวนนักท่องเที่ยวก็จะพุ่งขึ้นไปถึง 20,000-30,000 คนต่อวัน
แน่นอนว่ารัฐบาลทหารพม่าจ้องมองรายได้ที่เข้ามาทางเมืองที่ขี้เหล็กด้วยความไม่พึงพอใจนัก เพราะรายได้
เหล่านี้ยังไม่สามารถที่จะน่ามาพัฒนาประเทศได้อย่างพอเพียง รัฐบาลพม่าต้องการที่จะให้นักท่องเที่ยวใช้เวลาอยู่ใน
เมืองท่าขี้เหล็กหรือเมืองเชียงตุง มากกว่า ที่จะเห็นนักท่องเที่ยว โดยเฉพาะนักท่องเที่ยวชาวต่างชาติ เดินข้ามไปซื้อสินค้า
เพียงไม่กี่ชิ้นแล้วเดินทางกลับเข้า มานอนที่แม่สาย หรือเดินทางไปแหล่งท่องเที่ยวอื่น ๆ ในเมืองไทยต่อไป
