In the hotels they say they have tea/coffee making facitlities in the rooms..... is it safe to do that as in terms of the the water or should I use the bottled water for that awell?
If you're boiling water, it will kill any beasties floating in it making it safe to drink. But as Curt says, your tea/coffee will taste nicer with bottled water - and at 15-20 Baht per big bottle, it's not a particularly extravagant measure either

I always scrubbed me gnashers with tap water in Thailand and never got ill from it, but then again I was a backpacker...

Hey! I think the skanky backpackers reeking of BO and cheese-ridden manky dreadlocks are in the minority... only met a few of those, and steered well clear of the buggers as soon as I caught a whiff!
