Water in Japan is soft water, but the water in Bangkok is hard water different from Japan.
Soft water is a water quality that has high detergency and permeates the skin.

What is soft water hard water?
The difference between soft water and hard water is the difference in the content of mineral components such as calcium and magnesium contained in water.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) water quality guidelines, the mineral component content is defined as soft water for water 1L less than 0 - 120 mg / L, and hard water is defined above.
Since the average value of tap water in Japan is 50 ~ 60 mg / L, Soft water, average value in Thail is 120 mg / L or more, so it becomes hard water.
Characteristics of soft water
It is characterized by low irritation to the skin and high permeability.
The power to remove dirt is strong, but there is no tight feeling, beautiful skin effect can be expected.
When washing your hair with soft water, it gently moisturizes and Japanese shampoo is made to bubble with soft water.
Characteristics of hard water
Hard water is rich in mineral ingredients such as calcium and magnesium, so its minerals combine with soap and shampoo and make a film on the surface of the skin.
After drying this film, if you make your skin rusty or shampoo, it will cause hair troubles such as stiff hair or sticky scalp.
