Question

Is the water from water taps safe 2 drink,without boiling b4,2 drink direct from the water taps in Vietnam?

Answer 1

nobody...NOBODY in viet nam drinks tap water . even when they have "purifying tanks" on the roof YOU DRINK BOTTLE WATER.. its very cheep and its all over the place. did you ever take a look inside one of those tanks?, did you ever see anyone ever change a filter in one of those tanks?  bottle water only ! you can drink boiled water [ nau nuoc] but it tastes horrible

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

If you are visiting a reputable hotel in Hanoi or Ho Che Minh City, the tap water is OK. IF you go to a restaurant, they will serve boiling hot flower tea or either black tea from Hunan, China. You may not like the taste, but the tea will fight bacteria.

Letting water come to a boil in not enough; it should be boiled for about five minutes. The key to success is to drink liquid every chance you get. 40c is hot, especially during the dry season.
