I dont consider salads healthy. It's rabbit food.

Dont forget to eat some protein. 

 

Salad greens are among the healthiest food available, and most are very low in calories, unless you pile on the salad dressing.

Also one of the number one causes of food poisoning.  Usually washed in local tap water and full of unhealthy bacteria.

People here get food poisoning all the time, from many sources, and many die from it in the US and other countries. Hard to tell where you got it unless it's the only place you've eaten at for a couple of days. I was referring to the healthiness of the salad greens available on salad bars. Chicken, left out like it is here, is the highest cause.

Personally, I won't eat salads at restaurants in any country where I wouldn't drink the tap water.  It's not worth the risk to me.

Not a bad idea to be safe, as you never know what restaurant owners do in countries without frequent health inspections. I eat salads almost daily, but at home.

I think I will try to find some activated charcoal tablets.

They can be used for food poisoning. The poison apparently gets absorbed into the charcoal or sth ...

At the first sign of an upset stomach after eating something dodgy, I might pop one of these into my mouth. Better safe than sorry.

Sizzler to end in Australia: Why the one-time family favourite fell out of favour

 

In 2006, Sizzler hit a road bump: poisonous rat pellets were found in the self-serve buffets of two restaurants in Brisbane.

Collins Foods immediately shut down all 28 restaurants nationwide to establish the source of the poison, which was linked to a 57-year-old mentally unstable female customer.

Probably with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Bottled water of course.  You are crazy if you are putting feces filled Thailand tap water in your mouth.....

recent study by scientists at Columbia University found that a liter of bottled water contains approximately 240,000 detectable nanoplastic fragments, which are smaller than one micrometer in length.234+1

I guess you could bring some plastic bags and buy bottles of Evian.  Then, dump the veggies into the bag and wash use another bag to drain.  Clean enough?

But when I brush my teeth, I doubt I swallow many of those nano plastics, so I'm not worried about it.

Actually, not.  I still wouldn't trust I can get out all their dirty tap water.  I'll wait and eat salads in first world countries.

Haven’t been to a Sizzler for a few years now. I remember it used to be good value…fish and chips okay and the salad bar free … is that still the case?

[Cameroni]

Buffet is my idea of hell. Why go to Sizzlers when you can go to a civilised steak house? 

 

Wine Connection do an excellent steak n frites for 425 Baht. Plus you get served like a normal human being and don't have to graze like a human cow.  Sizzler's can't beat that.

It's very effective. 

 

Stops me farting, too.

Go through life terrified of everything - what a way to exist!

Actually Bangkok tap water is perfectly safe and there are live monitoring stations for pH, turbidity, residual chlorine, chloride, conductivity and other metrics across the city. It is very first world. The UK certainly doesn't have any live monitoring as comprehensive, and with their sewage infested rivers, lakes and seas I would not trust it.

You can shower, brush your teeth, wash your first world salads, cook with it, and yes - drink it. Personally I don't drink unfiltered tap water but it is safe.

Outside of Bangkok not so sure.

People like you have pathetic immune systems because you are terrified of everything. Been living this way for 30 years and have never been sick, nor have any of my family. Try living a little - and try not looking down on countries from your lofty first world pedestal.
