BANGKOK, Feb 2 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Owing to severe drought conditions, seawater has entered Bangkok’s raw water system, making tap water very salty.
Hence, Bangkok governor Aswin Kwanmuang said on Tuesday (Feb 2) that young children, the elderly, people with chronic illness and small pets should avoid tap water.
It is important for people with underlying conditions such as kidney disease, heart disease, diabetes, blood pressure as well as brain disease to avoid drinking tap water because of high sodium levels.
Though people with normal health can consume the water, they should reduce salt content in other things they consume.
