Shortage of water.

[anthonyso]

According to a magazine from Hong Kong reported that shortage of water supply in Pattaya is in bad condition. Some hotel bought dirty water from underground group and served to hotel guest.

 

Anybody is in Pattya now? What's the situation now?

So far, there haven't been any problems with the water supply in View Talay, where I now stay. However, in the main areas of Pataya, you can see water trucks delivering water supplies to bars, go-gos etc just about anywhere. The source of some of the water is a bit dubious to say the least. You should never drink the tap water and stick always to bottled water. Not sure what the hotel in question was doing but any reputable hotel would never serve other than bottled water to guests.

 

The local MP has apparently discussed the situation with the prime minister personally, so all problems will be solved within a matter of days (not ). The rainfall last month was apparently higher than normal and whilst that has helped an even wetter August is required (and September, October, November, December etc).

 

I wouldn't let the current water shortage stop you coming over, but be prepared to take dry showers etc
