Ice Cubes - Fruit
Will be flying out of South Africa next week to
Singapore and will be in Phuket by 25th Feb. I am a liitle worried about having ice cubes with my drinks. There are a lot of sites which warn not to use ice cubes Because they come from unhygienic sources. I can understand tap water etc, and always drink bottled water on my travels, but have never worried about ice cubes. Is there a norm or something to tell you if it is OK. I would believe that Hotels should be OK, but what about the bars etc. They also say avoid the fruit (or peel it) I would hate to start my stay with Travel diarrhea. Your educated comments please WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET - STRAIGHT TALK

hi ,
I have never had problems with the ice cubes. Normally they are bought in bags made from 'good' water (supposedly!) Anyway, a dose of the shits wouldnt do you any harm at all. Help clean you out. And if you are gonna be sticking your tongue in a bar girls honey pot, then ice cubes is really last on the list of health worries  Have a great time Dirty Mike. WHAT YOU WANTED WAS WHAT YOU GOT - STRAIGHT TALK

i think the ice is ok ,the only thing that might be risky is fresh salad which has been washed ,then again there was a big sighn on patong beach that proclaimed that the tap water is now safe to drink --on yeah!-- i always get the shits when i am in phuket but i put it down too too much drink and over spicy food ,just take some immodium ,then hopefully you wont shit the bed quite as badly

Well done ! Now you are a real man. I have always considered that if you shit the bed, you are a real man. Pissing is no good - lots of people do that when they are drunk. Shitting is Premier League I have done it a couple of times. Once all over the leg off the girl i was living with When I first woke up I got a whiff of this awful smell. I lifted the covers and there was shite all down her leg. I thought to myself "You dirty cow!" Then I realised..... It had been me ! Strange, but our relationship didnt last much longer after that.

This was a bit different Andy. It needed more than a fcuking flip flop to clear this lot up. I think I had to get a snow shovel !

ROFLMAO it's a horrible feeling and for some reason we start behaving like a scarecrow, being very careful what we touch and then make towards the bathroom not bending our knees looking a bit like a walking starfish !! LOL Andy, I can only presume that your flip flop was the nearest available "scoop" !! And, that after a thorough rinsing, you dried it off and stuck it back on your foot !! LOL

My advice
Quote:
Well, I'm quite possibly not the norm on this one. I seem to have a cast iron constitution and will eat and drink anything the locals do. I rarely ever have any trouble at all. Oh, except for some of the really hot chillis and then I find the bum gun is a real blessing!
