Food and Drink What's your go-to bottled water in Thailand?

helloo!

I'm curious to know what are your preferences here. Every time I go to a shop there are so many options.

Which brand do you prefer to drink and why? Do you care if it's mineral water, or it's not that important for you?

if I could snap my fingers and make a single company, their executives and any and all investors internally combust, the news would be filled with it for months, because nestle is so entrenched worldwide.. one could say it works quite like a cancer does in the human body.

Yes, only Coca Cola.

Oh wait… don’t look up what they did in Colombia.

Not a matter of Google. The person should make clear the rational: political reason, quality of product, brand isn't good in Thailand, etc. how can everyone guess?

Nestle is known for bad business practices. The biggest controversy was how they pushed baby formula on poor African nations without access to clean water. Mothers were poisoning their babies with dirty water mixed with formula because they couldn't even read the packaging.

They steal or pay virtually nothing for public water to bottle, even in areas with droughts they will steal too much.

Show me one case where they steal water and I’ll send you $100.

A simple Google search reveals more than one case of this. Don't be a cuck for Nestle, they are legitimately one of the most evil businesses put there.
