Yo man
everytime I am at 7 eleven there is 10 different water to buy, what is the difference in the 5 baht to 10 baht?
All water should be the same price right?

I love when the workers look at me like I am going to rob the store, must be because I'm black.

The plastic bottles probably cost more then the water itself. But water is very cheap here, a couple of baht difference is not something that even enters my head.

The price does not reflect the quality.
I tried many brands and none of them will make a decent cup of tea.
I take my own water with me now when I go away.

I think Nestle was the best of the bunch.

Water tastes like water, they all taste the same. I usually just grab the first bottle I see.

Those are made by small local businesses. There are usually a few in each village.
The quality varies from disgusting to superb.

I always get the Nestle bottles(sorry bout the spelling) as for me I can taste the difference and this water taste the best. I am still not a fan of drinking the water from the taps and i have not had the facilities of boiling the water.

Rainwater always tastes awful to me.
Tried it in several places and it tastes like distilled water with dust in it.

I have not seen cordial in Thailand, but I have not looked for it.
Do they have cordial in Thailand?
