Be it around the 1 bedroom Apartment or Bangtao its suggested NOT to drink water from the tap on Phuket, Thailand, but they say you can boil it and then make tea / coffee etc. Personally I buy the local (Not imported) bottled water from the local Bangtao mini markets for drinking. I do though, as with other expats and locals around Bangtao, 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 Bangtao stick to the bottled water.

In my view the beach. Bangtao is OK but the best places are: Promthep Cape (Laem Promthep), Big Buddha or Kata Rocks. Anywhere around the west / south side of Phuket island.
