Is water available and safe in Sing.,H. K., Thailand & Malaysia?

Question

I mean as it is in Canada .. you get fountain water in the streets and many buildings and the water is safe for all the water taps. Answer the countries that you know about it.

Answer 1

I've never had problems with tap water in Singapore, Thailand, or Malaysia.

However, I don't know how seasoned a traveller your stomach is, so I suggest you splash the cash and buy bottled water in order not to spoil your vacation.

Answer 2

Of the countries you named, only the water in Singapore is safe to drink. You will rarely find drinking fountains in these countries and even in the schools they will be tied into a filtering system. Bottled water is very cheap and available almost everywhere and almost all hotels will provide a couple of free bottles a day. I'm from the USA, and I drank bottled water there, too.

Answer 3

As a general rule of thumb I advise you NOT to drink tap water in these countries. Go to any convenience store and choose from the selection of bottled water they have there. It's cheap and safe.

Answer 4

Singapore - safe
HK - safe
Thailand - No, unless u want to die a slow and painful death
Malaysia - What makes u think there is safe tap water in malaysia?

Answer 5

No. You can safely bathe in the tap water, but don't drink it.

Dont jump into rivers and lakes for bathing.

Answer 6

yes water is available. Of course, as it is in all SE Asia, it is important to drink only bottled water. they have both mineral water and the one obtained by reverse osmosis. Of course you cannot drink tap water !

Answer 7

The water is not safe. The local people drink it and die instantly.

Avoid all drinking water and breathing. Good question!
