Personally I do NOT drink water from the tap on Phuket, but they say you can. I buy bottled water from the local Karon mini markets for drinking. I do though, as with other expats and locals around Karon, brush my teeth with tap water, and use it for making tea / coffee etc, but only after boiling a few times. If you are unsure when you arrive to Karon stick to the bottled water.
