Junta chief Prayuth Chan-ocha claimed that Thailand’s tap water is proved by global organizations to be safe to drink. To prove it, he drank a glass full of tap water for reporters at Government House on Wednesday.
The Prime Minister also revealed that his family drinks tap water. He encouraged citizens to drink tap water as well, instead of buying expensive bottled water because it doesn’t taste any different.
The tap-water stunt was pulled when Prayuth met with student representatives for the project “Water Ranger,” which works to educate youths to save water.
However, his words would be more convincing if Prayuth would have drunk water straight from the tap. Instead, the students poured him a glass of water from their jar, INN News reported.
