well you definintely shouldn't drink the water but it isn't as rational of a fear as you might be thinking. The locals don't drink it either and drinking water is basically free. There would be no incentive

I reckon it will be another day or two then I will be all in the clear

In USA it doesn't often happen at least it didn't to me. In Asia, with everything being so cheap, it's basically guaranteed to happen at some point and yes, it will rock your world if you come from a sterile

There were a bunch of people that got busted in Thailand for fake education visas and the government rolled over on the schools that offered this, as they should. I would like to see your friend get busted

I lived in Thailand for nearly 2 decades and never traveled to Hua Hin. Did you see the famous horses on the beach? or is that really a thing?
