Too many people, and the facility – it was like smaller, the hotel. We got the biggest hotel filled. They had other guests, and it overflowed. And the government of Thailand… (Also had guests.) No, they came there to take care of us. We didn’t expect hundreds of toilets for us. (Oh, that’s nice.) The outside (ones).
