The term "tap water" is grossly misused in Thailand.

But, of course, there are no such safety precautions taken in the supply of tap water here in Thailand. You are subject to all kinds of contamination, just because it is treated and packaged. What this means for you is that you need to be very careful when buying or carrying around bottled water.
