Drinking water systems for Bangkok offices and hotels.
Bangkok is one of the four provinces Minairal covers. There is no service centre in the city: Bangkok sites are served from our network, with the same agreement and the same water standard as everywhere else.
What Minairal does in Bangkok.
Minairal designs, installs and services systems that produce mineral drinking water on site, from the existing water line or from the air. In Bangkok, that means replacing gallon deliveries and bottled water in offices, hotels and schools.
Assessment
We evaluate the floor plan, the number of users and the points of use before recommending anything.
Installation
Machines are checked and configured before delivery, then placed, connected and tested on site, with a report signed by both parties.
Training
Facilities and housekeeping teams are trained on the machines actually installed, with manuals and quick-start guides.
Planned care
Preventive checks, filter replacement and cleaning on schedule, by Minairal technicians on our payroll. Support in English and Thai.
Water in a Bangkok building.
Mains water in Bangkok is not intended to be drunk at the tap. Depending on the season it can carry chlorine and its by-products, sediment and heavy metals, and wherever the network is old or intermittent there is a bacteriological risk.
Gallons and bottles are the familiar answer. They move the problem rather than solving it: quality depends on the bottler and on how the water was stored, and every container joins a waste stream the country already struggles to process.
A Pure system on the building's existing line filters at 0.0001 micron, remineralises, and delivers hot 90°C and cold 4°C water at the point of use. Nothing is delivered, stored or collected.
Bangkok tap water: drinking and bathing.
Short answers for office and hotel managers, with the caveats that apply.
Is Bangkok tap water safe to drink?
Not reliably from the tap, which is why most people in Bangkok do not drink it. The Metropolitan Waterworks Authority treats the water to drinking standards at the plant, but it then travels through municipal pipes, building tanks and internal plumbing that are outside the utility's control and can recontaminate it. The usual practice in offices and hotels is to filter at the point of use.
Is it safe to bath or shower in Bangkok tap water?
Yes. Showering and bathing in Bangkok tap water is normal practice for residents and visitors, and for healthy people it is not considered a health risk. The chlorine added at the plant can be noticeable in some districts and may dry the skin, which is a matter of comfort rather than safety. Drinking is the only use that calls for treatment.
Does boiling make Bangkok tap water safe to drink?
Boiling deals with bacteria and other micro-organisms, but not with sediment, heavy metals or chlorine by-products, and it is impractical at the volumes an office or hotel uses. Filtration at the point of use addresses all of these at once, which is why it is the standard approach in buildings.
What do offices and hotels in Bangkok do for drinking water?
Most either order 19-litre gallons or filter at the point of use. A Pure system connects to the building's existing line, filters by reverse osmosis and remineralises the water, so it replaces gallons without changing how people drink. Where no reliable line is available, an Air system makes water from the humidity in the air and needs only a socket.
Air or Pure in Bangkok.
The water is the same either way: filtered, remineralised with calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium, alkaline at pH 8.5 or more.
Air
No inlet and no plumbing: the unit makes water from humidity and needs only a socket. It suits meeting rooms, lobbies and floors where running a pipe is impractical, and any site that must keep water flowing when the network does not.

Pure
Reverse osmosis on the existing line, installed in under an hour, with a stable output. In pantries, kitchens and back-of-house areas with a water connection close by, it replaces gallons at the point of use.

Questions about Bangkok.
Do you have an office in Bangkok?
No. Minairal has three service centres, in Koh Samui, Phuket and Hua Hin, and the head office is in Bo Phut, Koh Samui. Bangkok is served from our network.
Who installs and maintains systems in Bangkok?
Minairal technicians, on our payroll. Installation, training and planned maintenance are covered by the same agreement as everywhere else. Ask about service scheduling for your address when you request the assessment.
Can a system replace 19-litre gallons in our office?
Yes. A Pure system on the existing line, or an Air system on a socket, produces water at the point of use, so there are no gallons to order, store or return. The impact calculator shows what your office stops buying.
Have you installed systems in Bangkok?
Yes. Our projects include a Bangkok hotel with Pure systems in guest and staff areas. The client name is withheld at their request.
Elsewhere in the network.
Three service centres with parts held in each, and coverage across four provinces.
Koh Samui
Head office, showroom and service centre. Koh Phangan is served from here.
