I am looking for something like this:

rather than this:

So far I have only seen the later type of high end dispenser.

So, where can I find a basic one with no cold water, no hot water, just the bowl and tap?

Thanks!

I am still looking for simple, ceramic bowl with spigot style of water dispenser. Is this available anywhere in Pattaya?

Success! Well, sort of. Carrefour on Pattaya Klang is now carrying three different brands of LARGE METAL fluid dispensers. There is a cheap aluminum one (not recommended for health reasons) and three stainless steel choices (different brands and sizes). I had never seen these before, but there they were. They are close to the kitchen supplies area.

These dispensers do not hold the large plastic bottle. You have to pour in the water, but the hole to do this is massive, so no worries about big spills if you can lift the bottle.

but that wouldnt serve chilled water would it ?

Thats why we have REFRIGERATORS, mate! I can't see running a dedicated appliance just for chilled water. Thats something more suited to an office.

FYI: The large variety/hardware store in Tukcom basement, street side, now sells a plastic pump thingamajig that is designed to put on the top of large water bottles to hand pump out the water. 150 baht.
