Filtered water tanks by Jer425

Hey Everyone, Just curious to know what everyone drinks for filtered water...we're currently drinking Sapuwa, but heard from a friend that he has gotten stomach issues from drinking it. So far we haven't had any problems, but are just wondering if ...

No, it is back in the old country. The house has an separate internal greywater piping system which is eventually connected to the sewage system. The need for this separation is due to a particular constraint in my house construction. Waste ... Read More

Yours truly does :) , and it is connected to a greywater pipe. It has to do with some particular contraints in home piping system. :cool: (blackwater pipe must have bigger dimension as you know, while greywater pipe can make do with less). Read More

Technically, you can have urine in greywater since a bidet can be connected to a greywater pipe, but we are splitting hair here, aren't we? :D Read More

Jaitch Not sure exactly what you are referring to. If you mean to say Saigon's water is the least toxic of them all, then I probably agree. If you mean 1. It is safe to drink tap water in Saigon/HCMC or/and 2. The water is safe from the water ... Read More

The tap water in HCMC, even though better than Hanoi, is alarmingly unhealthy affecting millions of city dwellers, according to city officials. It is distressing since those guys are not known to admit to anything bad. See quote from an article just ... Read More

Moving To Saigon & Have A Few Questions by Scotsman84

So I'm seriously considering a move to Saigon. Have been living in Bangkok for the past year but they've tightened up the visa situation so it's time to move on. I'm a UK citizen, under 30, and have funds from abroad if it matters ...

Again, the term means differently to different people and ages. Older people: adulterous relationship, more toward Dan's def, may be with financial support. Younger people: like Scotsman84. If you can read Thai, here is the wiki for this term ... Read More

DanSF Your question is so ambigious so it is hard for me to give a definite answer. Again gik is a new term, just like the term "hook-up", so it may mean different things to different people. In different forums, people widely disagree ... Read More

No problem. Ask any Vietnamese (men especially) and they will tell you right away what they mean :-), as those are commonly used slangs, just like their corresponding Thai terms. Read More
