Why can't you drink water in Thailand?

Tap water in Phuket contains trace element "tin", which is harmful to human body. There is still bleach in the tap water, which has not been disinfected. Drinking it directly will cause gastrointestinal discomfort and stomach pain.

Tap water in Thailand meets the standard of drinking water. The local people have been used to the water quality for a long time. It is definitely uncomfortable to drink tap water from Thailand directly in the short term, and the water in Thailand needs to be boiled before drinking.

Water resources in Thailand:

Thailand is relatively rich in water resources, but with the development of social economy and the increasingly serious environmental problems, it is questioned whether the relatively rich water resources can support Thailand's social and economic development for a long time.

In order to make effective and sustainable use of existing water resources, protect the environment and promote the sustainable development of social economy, Thailand has strengthened water resources management in recent years, actively participated in international cooperation in water resources development, and formulated special laws to regulate the state's water resources management.
