Payboy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I strongly recommend to wash the glass first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I assume that is in BKK. Bangkok water is treated and tested. It is safe to drink. Although with the recent floods I might stick with filtered water. They did find body parts in the treatment plant. Well water on the other hand needs to be filtered but City water is of pretty good standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payboy Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Bangkok water is treated and tested. And hoping that the Soi 4 hotel inspects / cleans their tanks to maintain a certain quality standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP25 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 It's fine, but I don't like the taste and usually only use it for cooking, rinsing food, and brushing teeth. If you want cheaper drinking water than 7-11 there are water machines that are only 1 baht per liter. Not sure if there are any in Soi 4 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan96822 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 I know times are hard.........drinking tap water. Have you ever been called cheap charlie or am i the first one. You're darn right I've been called a cheapskate before. No problems with that...It is the Royal Ivory Hotel on Soi 4 and I stayed there last year....A great place, cheap, very clean, and very convenient. I'll stick to the bottled water from the 7-11. Or I'll just switch over to Chang instead. Water's over-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudolus Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Soi 4- the street where a thousand + pipes are cleaned out on a daily basis (if you excuse the vernacular)....shame they are never the pipes that have to do with the delivery of water or beverages.
