The portion I am referring to is not labeled there.

Is it the the part below the bowl but above the floor?  I would call it perhaps the 'base'.

My father in law just got back from a month-long mission trip to the Philippines.  They don't have those things there...

Americans are the dirty ones?



You mean, Opebo, that you use modern toilets in Thailand borrowed from the European and American traditions where you sit on a seat?

When I was in Asia, most of the toilets (except those in places with high numbers of Westerners) were the type on the floor that you squat over.

And if you can't clean yourself with toilet paper, you're not doing it correctly.

The Saudi version is like the one posted by Snowguy. Never as clean though.

Hmm. In Bangladesh, the toilets were American-looking. In Singapore, it was even better, with a bidet and all. I wish I had a bidet in my bathroom.

Yes.  In modern gas stations and other public buildings, both Western and Squat toilets are made available.  (obviously the squat toilets are modern and clean, made of ceramic just like Western toilets, and looking nothing like the photo you contributed).

To find toilets that looked like your photo in Thailand would require getting quite far off the beaten path.. perhaps going to a village.  But all sizeable towns and everything on the main highways would be 'modern'.

You're being stupid.  If you have sh**t on your hands, can you get it off with just toilet paper?  Or is it cleaner to use water? 

In Thailand I of course use the sprayer, which gets one much cleaner than any toilet paper could ever do, in a matter of seconds.  I do then use toilet paper to dry, but this is not a particularly essential step.

Face it Snowguy, toilets in america are inferior, and american habits are filthy.
