Man discovers "perfect hell hole" after travelling through 100 countries to find the world's worst public toilet

A travel writer and blogger that spent £150k and travelled almost 75,000 miles through 100 countries to find the world's worst public toilet has finally found it. Graham Askey from Brighton, AKA the 'King of the Porcelain', discovered what he describes as the “perfect hell hole” in northern Tajikistan.

The 5ft bog is a ramshackle tent with walls that double as loo roll. The fabric walls that are used as shared toilet paper was the “most repellent thing of all”, according to Askey, as he made the horrifying realisation that sections had been torn off and discarded on the cubicle floor.

The 58-year-old blogger says the facility is that bad that those who are desperate enough to use it must stoop over sun-dried faeces.
