Seeking to capitalise on trends relating to hygiene and sanitation amid the pandemic, Bangkok-based bathroom startup Mister Loo is expanding throughout the country and region, marketing its amenity-filled toilets to members of the public willing to pay a premium for such conveniences.
The firm, which raised US$3.38 million in combined funding, has facilities at 36 locations within the country and hopes to install hundreds more across the region over the next five years.
The bathrooms cost 10 baht per visit for an air-conditioned unit and five baht for a visit to a unit that does not have air conditioning. The units also provide amenities such as touchless sensors, vending machines for hygiene-related products, lockboxes and even showers.
