Depend on the source of the water. Many do not have piped in water which is usually treated. A deep bore well will give good water and I have drank the water from our deep well. Most common are ground wells 10 or 15 meters deep and i would not drink that as much chance of ground contamination. This type of water would required extensive treatment before being fit for drinking.

Phuket's Water Crisis Threatens Tourism Industry
LivinginKata replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
We learned from our first 2 projects build as big a storage tank as possible. First build only 5,000 liters, 2nd 30,000 liters, and Kata 400,000 liters under the building to store rainwater as no ground water worth going the cost of deep well ( we tried 3 bore holes to 70m ) -

Can a radical proposal save Phuket’s tourism crisis?
LivinginKata replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
We moved to Kata 17 years ago. Back then Patong on a steep decline with too much traffic, too many poor quality tourist, taxi mafia, etc. Perfect for the party animals. While the through traffic along Patak road is a nightmare, and there has been over building, Kata never has gone fully into the nightlife scene. -
Phuket’s reservoirs promise adequate water supply until rains

We happen to walk along the closed pathway this morning. Lot of sandbanks with chickens walking about. I cant believe how badly the town hall have allowed this walkway to deteriorate. Even pulled removed wiring from the public lights, -

Russian tourist dies in Phuket motorbike crash near Big Buddha
LivinginKata replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
It was a PCX, hardly a 'Big Bike'. But a lot of power, For sure no M/C driving experience. But its a steep rise on road and I doubt going so fast as wife jumped off. Just so unlucky to go into the deep drainage ditch. No mention of helmet of how he died. I guess head injury. I live just off that road bend and we see plenty bikes in the ditch on the downside of road. Mostly caused while braking on slick busy fast road. -

LivinginKata replied to snoop1130's topic in Phuket News
True, but unusual place to come off road. I passed the accident at 06,30. It;s going up a steep hill medium right hand bend. He seemed to have come off to left of bend. Not a normal place to have accidents. -

Phuket’s ‘Russian invasion’ – they’re here to stay
LivinginKata replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I have been looking at all these Russian bashing posts. Over 25 years of long term home rentals I cant think of a 'bad' Russian tenant. On the other we have had many Brit/German/Dutch/Spanish horror stories. Right now we are all full in Kata with Russian. All very nice neighbours. -

Fifteen Foreign Riders Arrested in Patong Breaking Traffic Rules
LivinginKata replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
I am saying that under Thai driving laws only a Thai Motor Bike license is legal in Thailand. What I am saying is that every visitor here in Thailand is driving a mbike illegally and the police well know that. Rich Rich picking. The rentor should not rent byt we all know that will never happen. Thousands of bikes rented every day here in Phuket where not even travel insurance will cover accident injuries. -
Fifteen Foreign Riders Arrested in Patong Breaking Traffic Rules
LivinginKata replied to webfact's topic in Phuket News
They would if the police confiscated all those with no motor bike license. And they all know only a Thai motor bike license is valid. All International permits only allow car here in Thailand, even if endorsed for mbike. And really how many tourists have a mbike license in home country ?
