This morning I woke up in my Airbnb small apartment and going out I never had enough water for my coffee ..I need my coffee 

 

So I took the water from the kitchen tap and booked it in the jug 

 

I had my coffee .

Now I'm thinking I shouldn't leave the Condo in case I get sick.

 

Has anyone got any stomach disease from drinking the water here ?

I only had one cup of hot coffee 

 

I'm feeling a little sick come to think of it , I think the water may have parasites in it , I think they are now swimming around in my belly 

 

Has anyone else drank the tap water ,I did boil it ,is there any scientists on here who can answer please !!

 

Looks like I may have to head to the medical centre for  a blood test 

 

What symptoms could I have ?

 

 

 

With all the flooding, you should be safe. The bodies don't get to rot in any one place long enough to worry about :unsure:

Currently my building has a coin filtration machine at 1 baht per liter, so I do that. 

Yeah, my ap't bldg has one too.

Tried it for a few months and it was okay, but now during rainy season the water is tasting horrible/soily. Back to buying bottled water for me. 

Maybe your machine is better.

I went blind from drinking the tap water. It was almost a week later. The hospital did some sort of chelation therapy and my vision returned.  

 

How many fingers, George?

Like any filtration system, the filters need to be changed. 

 

With a public vending machine you'll have no control over tgat. 

 

In my last apartment I purchased a water filter and had it installed. 

 

The water filter replacements are extremely expensive. 

 

If you chose filtered water, probably best to just buy it bottled

I've been drinking tap water in Thailand for over 50 years with no ill-effects whatsoever.

No, only from drinking Leo and Singha beers! Chang okay.

I once drank water from a bottle left on the floor that a roach had gotten into ,I suffered no gut problems after swallowing a roach 

My water tank gets a feed from the roof guttering and no problems with rain water

Drinking tap water anywhere in SEA is not recommended. Singapore does not recommend you drink tap water despite have very good cleaning systems. As the say if the system is working then it would not be a problem but systems can get problems and you may not know about it.

I used the (boiled) tap water to make tea and coffee for quite a few years in Bangkok, and never had a problem.

Bangkok tap water is said to be up to World Health Organisation standards.

We have a paper pre-filter before tank. Every time I replace it with a new one it turns brown like milk chocolate after a month (city water). I don't think this water is drinkable. We don't even drink it after 3 stage filter before tank. We do drink it after an osmosis filter.

I drink it, my wife drinks it, my kids drank it before they left for America. Nobody has gotten sick. I also brush my teeth with tap water.  Please stop trying to be a drama queen it is not becoming at all. 

Me too, for 19 years.

You boiled the Water, so whats your Problem:clap2:

Just felt the cheap electric kettles only boiled it for a few seconds which is not enough. My tap water often gets a bit murky after rainstorms or work on the pipes, and whatever it is, I don't want it in my tea or coffee.
