Just wondering if any hospital or any of the many medical labs around CM will test my household water for bacteria only. I know of some labs that specialize in testing water, but they are way overpriced and their main interest is to sell you an expensive filtration system and I really don't trust their results.

Should be a simple test that most medical labs can perform??

There might be a government testing service available through the ampur HQ there in beautiful downtown Doi Saket. Send the mia luang on a fact finding mission. I know, it's not that easy.....

You can buy these share a pack with friends easy to use, other makes are available via the US and Oz, Pallintest is a good one to go for.

If you can wait a year or to I am thinking of setting up a small water testing lab.

Hi, I am staying in Chiangmai and is digging an artesian well and would like to know where I can send the underground water for testing? Otherwise I should buy the water test kits and do it myself?

Years ago I had some well water tested at the University and I assume that they still do these tests for you. Can't remember how much but not over priced. Best go with a Thai speaker 'cos the lab was tucked away upstairs somewhere.
