Potable water in Thailand is best purchased both in 5-liter bottles (cost – 30-45 baht) and in special vending machines. Water, in this case, a much higher quality tap water, and buying it in the machine, you can also save a lot. A liter of water will cost you 1 Baht.
Living in Thailand for more than one month, most likely want to argue with me that the water in these very machines for drinking at all is not suitable. I want to agree with you, but the machines have such water more often because of the worn filters. It’s easy to distinguish old from new dispensers, you just need to pay attention to their external condition. Unfortunately, old machines are much more common than new ones.
It is not uncommon for tourists to order water in 20-liter cans for the house. It is inexpensive, but much more expensive compared to vending machines.
