When traveling abroad, the situation of "water" such as local tap water is worrisome, is not it?
I think that there are things that I think about variously, such as when showering at the hotel, or whether the water that comes out when eating is okay is okay.
Because it would be tough if the physical condition was destroyed on a pleasant trip, I tried summarizing the circumstances of Bangkok's "water".

Recent situation of "water" in Bangkok
The water quality in Bangkok, which is generally said to be dangerous, is also improved to a level that is not so concerned.
In the past, because there was an incompleteness in the water supply system that sent water to each household, sewage and bacteria were entering from the joints of the water pipes, etc., but now the maintenance has progressed and the water quality has been improved.
Some hotels have their own water purification facilities and there are places where you can drink water from the faucet.
However, even if it says so, it is very difficult to break your stomach with a great journey, so avoid living water as much as possible and try to drink water from a commercial PET bottle.
The water of a PET bottle sold generally in Thailand is "Drinking Water", which is a water filled in plastic bottles by filtering tap water etc.
Many of the mineral water of the European brand are many and are sold at a higher price than Japan.
Water of hotel in Bangkok
Drinking water is prepared in the guest room, and there are things and bottles that have entered PET bottles and can be drunk as drinking water.
Electric pots are available for drinking coffee and tea in the room, but please do not use the water in the pot rather than the hotel's tap water.
Also at convenience stores 2L drinking water is sold at around 13 ~ 18B so it is convenient to buy 1 book and put it in the hotel refrigerator.
People who are also worried about toothbrushing, are more reliable using drinking water.
Water of Bangkok restaurant
In most of the restaurants in Bangkok, water is charged.
Before ordering dishes, you will be asked "What is your drink?" So when you order water, the water of the PET bottle will come out.
I think that there is not much in an ordinary restaurant, but before, I was asked by the staff "How about mineral water?" At a hotel restaurant, ordered without confirming the price as it is, the hotel label We have paid 1 yen fee for water 1500 book of wound PET bottle.
I noticed it at the time of treasure and regretted that I should have made juice ... · · ·.
Because some water with "mineral" is higher than alcohol, in order not to be so, it is better for high-end restaurants to check the price before ordering.
Bangkok stall water
Food stalls are indispensable for enjoying Thai gourmet, but what you want to watch out is water and ice to be served at the stand.
In most shops, when you order water, PET bottle water will come out, but depending on the store it is not water of PET bottle, but there are places where ice water with ice put in the distilled water prepared by the store comes out. (It may be free for service.)
I have never broken my stomach, but this ice water is said to be cautionful, and it seems that many of those who break their stomach in Thailand are hitting this ice water, not food.
In order not to be so, it is more safe to order bottled water or bought a drink at a convenience store.
1L1B vending machine water
In the area where service apartments and condominiums stand, there is 1L1B water sale machine written as "drinking water".
Some Thai people prepare empty PET bottles, some buy water with their vending machines, 1B put a coin and push the button is a cheap vending machine that 1L water comes out.
I saw someone who bought it on that vending machine, so when I tried purchasing it, it was me who never broke my stomach even in the stall water, but why I hit this water for a few days to get a stomachache I suffered.
The appearance is a machine that looks clean, the dealer came and the date of filter change was also listed, there was nothing to worry about, but as soon as I quit this water, my condition has recovered, so I thought again I think that this water was causing the problem.
Let's buy water for plastic bottles
How was it?
There are many supermarkets and convenience stores in Bangkok, 500ml bottled water is sold at around 7 ~ 10B.
In the supermarket, all the rows of the wide sales floor are water selling spaces, and the water occupies the sales area more than Japan.
Because Thailand is a hot country, it is necessary to supplement hydration frequently, but it will be tough if you lose your physical condition on a precious trip.
We advise you to pay attention to water and we recommend that you buy water bottles from water bottles.
