I've heard bum gun from Thai folks but I'm guessing some Australian came up with that? Sounds like something they would say. I don't even know what the Thai word is or the literal translation.
I've been there a dozen times and also have no idea what the Thai word is, so here:
"In the Thai language, a bum gun is referred to as: săai chèet cham-rá (สายฉีดชำระ), hŭa-chèet (หัวฉีด), or thêe chèet dtòot (ที่ฉีดตูด)"
hm. sounds like they don't know either.
I found this language learning site that more sounds like they know what they're talking about:
"Bum Gun ที่ฉีดก้น Têe Chèet Gôn"
