Cheap water during a bottled water shortage

[MM 6,562]

My lady solved our bottled water problem by filling empty bottles at one of those coin-operated dispensers.

 

She filled 46 bottles for 24 baht...about 50 satang per bottle.

 

We did this once before, and I've yet to get ill.

 

Here's the technique...she's pretty good at it.

 

7-11 and the other stores can take their "3 bottles per family" rule and stuff it.

I saw the machines in my apartment block but still bought the 5 ltr bottles from 7-11. Well, I did until on one occasion I needed water and couldn't be arsed getting on the bike to go to a 7-11. Went downstairs and done a couple of 5 ltr fills for 5 baht a piece. I don't save any money though because around the same time I discovered Chang Lemon and Lime Soda and now drink gallons of the stuff at 96 Baht for a dozen small bottles.

It's all about filters and if they're worth a shit/changed more than once a year.. My TG says my piss smells like beer tonight. She's probably right.

The water's fine.

Indeed. They've had them on Bangkok moo ban streets for quite a few years, can't remember when they first appeared. Well tested, I'd say, and pretty well accepted and patronised.

And a great place to meet 'normal' Thai girls (apparently). Just make sure you always carry a few spare, shiny, new 1 Baht coins.
