A toilet
This is Australian slang
It is called a thunderbox because sometimes when you go to the loo you fart, and it sounds like thunder. I don't think I have to explain the box part.

Evelyn Waugh, *Men at Arms*:
"Well if you *must* know, it's my Thunderbox."
"May I see it?" he asked reverently.
"I don't see why not," said Apthorpe. "As a matter of fact I think it will interest you; it's pretty neat, a type they don't make any more. Too expensive, I suppose."
He went to the cupboard and dragged out the treasure, a brass bound, oak cube.
"It's a beautiful piece of work really."
He opened it, showing a mechanism of heavy cast-brass and patterned earthenware of solid Edwardian workmanship. On the inside of the lid was a plaque bearing the embossed title *Connolly's Chemical Closet*.
"I got it from a High Court Judge, the year they put drains into the Government buildings at Karonga. Gave him five pounds for it. I doubt if you could find one for twenty to-day. There's not the craftsmanship any more."

a portable toilet. this type though is usually found in countries where maximum daytime temperature exceeds 50 Degrees Celsius!!! I.E Kuwait. you sit there dripping with sweat, and suffocating in the hot felicities smelling air. one of the least pleasant experiences on the planet. but totally unavoidable if you are suffering with illnesses such as the "Kuwaiti Crud"

"How far did you get with Betty last night?"
"Let's just say her thunderbox and I are now good friends"
"Score dude. Cause I understand that the word 'thunderbox' means 'vagina'!"
