sysardman Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm looking for a very cheap western style toilet in the Chiang Mai area. I don't want to pay a lot because the property isn't mine and I don't know how long I will end up staying there. The landlord has given me permission to change it. Anybody have any ideas or have bought similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nattydread Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) In Global House u can just buy the toilet bowl without the water cistern attached,,,,,i presume u just flush it with a bucket of water filled from the tap in the bathroom....it would save the expense of plumbing the water in etc since u wont be staying that long......they also sell a 10 inch blue connection pipe that fits on the toilet to connect into the floor...........about 700 baht i think Edit....they are sitting outside the shop before u go in........u can buy them in the most foul colours imaginable Edited March 20, 2012 by nattydread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatmakmak Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I'm equally at home on a western toilet as I am upon the local Asian squat toilet. When visiting western countries I do miss the bum showers though. For that reason I sympathise with the OP. Not having the right toilet equipment can drive one potty! 555!

naboo Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If you have a wide enough rear end, you can just sit on the squat toilets like its a western toilet. More comfortable than a western toilet once you get that big as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paagai Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) Hidden away down Chang Puek Soi 5 (The Soi opposite the entrance to Mecure Hotel) is a large bathroom supplies showroom and warehouse. They have a good selection of brands. Both prices and service are much better than Home Pro and all. There is a small hole in the wall place next door selling toilets very cheaply too. IIRC you can pick up a basic pot for only a few hundred Baht. Edited March 21, 2012 by Paagai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckamuck Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Home Sukkapan is on the ring road near payap university these days and they have an awesome shop, not so sure they have the bucket flush toilets though. They seem to be middle to high end for the most part. No poinit in getting high end equip if your just going to put crap in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The large tile store on the corner of the soi and Chang Puek road was boarded up and looked like it had closed about three weeks ago, but I thought the bathroom place was still open. Maybe not Shame as it was local for us and, as canukamuck put it, "an awsome shop". Over by Payap is more of a trek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David006 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 you have a car...or a tree?

Thanks for the info, was hoping for a non chainstore type dealer. I think most western toilets have low profile flush tanks so no chain. If you are not too flush, as seems to be the case, buy a big white telephone sans tank and a big plastic garbage bucket and a hello kitty scoop.... Pulling out that squat is gonna be fun!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobl Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 My $0.02 - I'm also in the market for a decent pot. I've found most of the shops with cement, paint, tiles etc stacked outside have a limited selection of reasonable and cheap (800 to 1,500) sets that'd do the job... But I'm looking for one that's a bit more comfortable where you don't lose the use of your legs if you happen to sit reading the e-newspapers for 10 minutes...

Sounds like you've had experience - I noticed there are no fixing screws like western toilets, are the squats cemented in or something? do you think it will come out without breaking?

Sounds like you've had experience - I noticed there are no fixing screws like western toilets, are the squats cemented in or something? do you think it will come out without breaking? no experience of replacement..destroyed a couple in temp out-houses for builders. Would think I'd smash it up to access the pipe and add a bit of pipe and patch with cement and level to match with underside of sit upon...the ones we have did have bolt holes but could not find the usual wax seals or brass lag bolts so brought 'em from Canada..as you say, here they cement 'em in. You could use a few big tubes of silicone ..?! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
