Those who have been to Bangkok for vacation would have seen signs customary pasted in front of Hotel sinks, warning you not to drink the tap water. This left an impression for me back then on my first visit as a tourist. Imagine, in sleepy tranquil holiday mood, the unfamiliar message stops-you-in your-gurgle (chokes* and chokes*!!!).
OMG, did I drink any of the water?!!
It was a distant sweet dream (back in Singapore), the basic routine of waking up in the morning, drowsily fetching a glass of H2O from the kitchen. Everyone here in Thailand drinks mineral water. That means, buy it, drag it, lug cartons of it back home and "7-eleven" is not convenience, it is haven.
Luckily, every soi (street) or corner has this 'Reverse Osmosis Water Vending machine' since idon'tknowwhen. My current apartment has one on the ground floor. 1 baht every morning for filling 2/3 of my jug.
A love. hate. relationship.
Bye.
