Thanks Admin, I already got the message and have already said I will be going upmarket.

I will probably get something like this to illuminate our spirit house at night ......

An item not often seen in Buriram has arrived for the Tuesday October 14th Buriram Home and Garden Show. YES a portable proper construction job site worker toilet is not part of the stock of Ruangsangthai. Another product you hope you do NOT need is STOP BIRD which I am now my own best customer.  It causes pesky birds to nest elsewhere. We have just added bakery items from Meow Bakery in Satuk and Shrimp Tempura from Jack's Resort l& Shrimp Restaurant which is located just down Highway 2074 from Ruangsangthai, to the free food offerings to compliment the fresh baked Italian Pizza of Roma Pizza.I've been informed by my manager I will need to rent additional ice coolers for beverages on Tuesday October 14th and Wednesday October 15th. I truly look forward to seeing old friends and making new acquaintances.

Freddy: Thank you for that good information. I have some "Proper English" language question:  What is the UK slang or common term for Bathroom sink faucet or for a Kitchen faucet?  Now another  phrase I did not even venture was for the "personal sprayer" that is used by a toilet in Thailand. My American language teacher who is conducting English lessons twice a week for the Buriram Ruangsangthai customer service staff was attempting to call the 304 brushed stainless steel horizontal grab bars placed in a shower room,  "fun bars", but I believe he is pulling my leg. Freddy, What do you call those grab bars that are installed in a shower for "safety"?

A sink goes in a kitchen and a basin is located in a bathroom/toilet. The English equivalent word for a faucet (American) is a tap. The personal sprayers (which are great BTW) are not allowed to be installed in UK because of the very strict water by-laws, as there is a (miniscule) chance of cross-contamination between clean and dirty water. I am therefor not sure what to call them other than the commonly used nickname of 'bum gun' LOL!
The grab bars could be called 'hand rails' I'd suggest.

They are referred to as "bathroom grab bars". The toilet would be called a "Porta potty" in the USA.

Thank you for the many useful terms of the VRH products. I will have "solar lighting" at the two day Buriram Home Show starting October 14th. However these solar lights and solar power equipment are more for a solar security light, and for solar powered water pumps used in a field. I had the solar power panels set up by "Lake Buriram" where I believe expats will enjoy fresh baked Pizza prepared by Mossimo of Roma Pizza and fresh cooked Shrimp Tempura cooked by Jack of Jack's Resort Buriram while seating in shade with comfortable wind flow from the "Lake" near my ready mix concrete batching plant. Mrs. Mossimo is on track to sell a limited variety of mixed libations and I have a wide variety of complimentary soft beverages on ice. Complimentary fresh brewed coffee and tea will be served with bakery treats at the front door starting at 9:30am.  The solar powered pumps should be working all day.  The final display booth house building products are showing up at 7am on Tuesday so I have to open the store extra early for these "tardy" sales teams so they can set up display products in the Buriram Expo area of Ruangsangthai and be ready for visitors at 10am.

For the UK definitely 'Handrail' for the grab bar and agree with Nobby - Kitchen Sink, bathroom Basin.

Bearing in mind that a "basin" could also be a ceramic bowl used in the kitchen,such as a "pudding basin", I would say that the correct wording for the apparatus in the bathroom would be "wash basin".
