popshirt Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 A friend just searched for and bought one. The American Standard brand toilet requires a special seat and my friend finally bit the bullet and paid around 5K baht for the replacement. He says the ones for sale now are better made than the originals. I have 3 in my condo in Bkk and they are around 10 yrs old (originals) but they do seem to appear somewhat brittle over time. I am treating them very gently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsilver Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I was shocked as well when HomePro quoted over 5,000 baht for a replacement for a cracked one. But I finally bit the bullet (as it were) and bought one at American Standard. Yes, they have a a small showroom on the east side of Sukumvit. As I recall it is north of Pattaya Klang (there is a very large sign). They had my model in stock and the replacement seems much better made. Nevertheless it seemed outrageous to me to pay almost 6,000 baht for a lousy toilet seat. I think my friends got tired of hearing me complain, so I finally just bought one. I doubt if you can get buy with anything but the real thing, but I have been told that is possible to glue the crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jandajoy Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I'm pretty sure Homemart outside Rayong stocks them. Might be worth checking Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njpski Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 If the Standard is 5 to 6K Baht, I wonder how much the Deluxe costs?? I suppose it would come fitted with automatic raising and lowering, heating, padding, cupholders, cd changer, book stand and many other features which others might suggest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphrey Bear Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 In UK the main manufacturers are Royal Doulton and Ideal Standard. In the States it is American Standard. Then there are all the weirdly shaped Italian bogs, and some very simple Spanish ones. The French don't seem to make toilets - maybe just use a hole in the ground? The Germans just squeeze it out in 'wurst-depositories' and export to Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrenova Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 At 6k for a seat I would de-install the american version and put in a bog standard Thai shitter for about 3k all in. What's wrong with Thai crappers then that you have to import one. Surely they are not that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naka Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 While the American standard toilet seat is guaranteed to 250 kG, the Thai pedestal it sits on is only rated up to 150. Naka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, it is a size / strength issue for our cousins from across the pond. Nah. It's just that our cousins from across the pond have this strange idea that if it's 'Made in USA' it must be good. I have often tried to persuade American consultants that the current European goods are better than the twenty-five year old US design, but very seldom succeed. In Aramco toilets they are not only American Standard make, but there is a dispenser alongside that will contain toilet rolls, individual sheets of heavier paper to wipe the seat, plus a piece of paper the size of the seat to place on the seat, so that there is no cross-contamination. nd I insisted on hand-hoses to wash the bum - and all the Americans complained that this would spread faeces on the seat. Strange people, our relatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckd Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 The "hose by the toilet" is not something most Americans are familiar with. I only learned of it when I began my expatriate life some 30 years ago. My bum has been thankful ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Bear Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Maybe it is this one ?? Never buy those thin plastic toilet seats. They're crap. Will last about a year with normal (80-90kg) westerners. And the 130kg guy shown there will probably get a shard through his piles on the first day. Wooden seats are best.
