The old adage "don't drink the water" doesn't just apply to Mr. Montezuma.  You can be certain

that his revenge can easily outstretch the border of Mexico into Thailand. You'll find with the

sun combined with the humidity here, you'll be needing more water - drinkable water - than you're used to back home.  And if you are planning on staying longer than a week a nd find

yourself renting a house for that period of time, than it behooves you to do something that took

me 3 years to finally take advantage of fully.
The BIG ol' bottle of water.  INstead of making daily trips to the store for bottled water where

you'll be spending at least 10 baht a bottle, you can get these giant bad boys for only 12 baht.

 You have to pay a 100 baht deposit at first go however, but everytime thereafter these bad boys

are only 12 baht.  
The only draw back to these bottles is their size.  If you can figure out how to get them

delivered to your house you are a miracle worker or just lucky,( I someone can get a weekly

delivery fairly easily where I live) but either way it's definitely worth the effort.  You can

carry one on your motorbike if you are feeling daring, or if you want a good workout try

carrying one home on your back.  If you want to save a bit of dough and avoid Motezuma's legacy, then these are the way to go.
