OK I live in Thailand. Have a leaky toilet in one of the bathrooms. I looked up on line and read what was needed. However, I noticed that the toiled was not bolted down instead they used some kind of material (plaster, grout, caulking) to fix and seal the toilet to the floor. This they did and all three bathrooms but the toilet in this bathroom is the only one leaking. So I removed the toilet and as you can see from the pictures there is no flange or seal fixing the toilet to the floor. The drain is located towards the front of the toilet hence the made that, well @#$%& slide I guess you can call it. My question is what can I do to fix this?

I would glue a flange down into that fitting in the floor, secure the flange to the floor, use a wax seal and reset the toilet.

The opening is at the front of the toilet and they created a "ramp" for the flow to go from the toilet to the drain line. They have to break the floor and repipe the drain properly.

As you may know that is an asian toilet or "turkish" toilet that they just tiled over and then put a western toilet on top of the tile using grout. Best way is to remove the turkish toilet and extend the sewer pipe to make a flange to mount the toilet on.

So went to the equivalent of home depot here and you cannot even buy a closet flange and wax seal there. Apparently the common practice is to cement the toilet to the floor over the turkish @#$%& slide.
