I have a couple of questions about tap water in Thailand and hopefully someone in the know has the answers.

#1 It is advised NOT to drink the tap water here in Thailand. Why is that? Bacteria? Chemical pollution? Both?

#2 If the tap water not drinkable, can it safely be used to wash food items that will be consumed?
How about in cooking?

Have discussed with friends and all seem to have differing opinions. Help!!
