Aren't there any test results or data available to the general public on the suitability of drinking water from the tap? Many Thais too consume only bottled water, even for cooking - when I ask them why, they say they aren't sure of the quality of the tap water - even after boiling. How common are heavy metals. lead, chemicals and other serious pollutants been found in the tap water - any reliable data available?

The irony of this is beyond words and i suggest pokes enormous holes in the vetting process of the thai elite visa system. Now this statement is a classic joke!

We couldn't allot you and your wife adjascent seats. Your seat number is 14A and madam's is 42H." Husband: "Oh, thanks! Do I have to pay anything extra to you for this favour?"
