Jaivin2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hi, My Dad has come to stay with me at my home near Soi Ari and he is very sensitive abt his drinking water as he is unwell. Anyone knows where I can buy them tonight or tomorrow morning? Been to most of the store like Big C and Tops nearby incluidng Villa and there is none around. Please help to tell me where I can buy some urgently. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try some local grocery shops? You know like the mom and pop shop small groceries? Other place to try is those water dispenser vending machine? If none of these work I guess u will have to rely on filtered water..... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaivin2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Thanks for the reply MiG16. Will have to resort to that I guess, but if anybody has seen any for sale anywhere now, do drop in a note . Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorro1 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Filtered water will be just fine. Nothing wrong with the tap water either but the experts here will tell you different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiG16 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 There's a thread asking same question in the Bkk sub forum 3 pages long and all were reports of which malls and 7/11 did NOT have bottled water Although one poster suggested looking at 7/11 inside universities? If I understood him correctly..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otissp Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I was in tesco at central rama 3, they have bottled mineral water. It's expensive, something like 70 baht a liter. The idea of finding machines to fill up bottles is also a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallGuyJohninBKK Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Another option in a pinch, although somewhat more expensive, is to use the bottled cold green teas like Oishi brand, which has several versions including a white capped no sugar variety. I'm still seeing those in various stores, even though they don't have straight bottled water. The water source for those should be fine. And especially for the no sugar variety, there's nothing else in them (other than green tea) that should pose any kind of health issue for anyone... Tesco usually sells their own brand for 14-16 baht per 500 ml bottle, for example. Some 7/11s stock the no sugar Oishi variety, but a lot carry only the sweetened ones.

balo Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Try the water machines , I always fill my bottles there for 6 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanLaew Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 You may have to drive a fair ways out of Bangkok to find bottled water. The panic buying and lack of restock has pretty much wiped out stocks in Pattaya where a lot of Bangkok people went last weekend and a lot look like they aint coming back anytime soon!

Boil tap water in 2 min. Then its as good as bottlewater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 saw some at 7/11 in Sun Towers, seems some deliveries got through, there are 3 sevens near here, so all 3 might have some. Water machines around condos would be a better bet as there are many around Ari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Now sold out at 7/11. I would try those water machines and quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
