Drinking Water Stock for Families in Thailand: Considerations for Families with Children [Bangkok Living Guide]
Living with family in Thailand,
- With children, I'm concerned about water preparedness.
- What if there's a power outage or water cutoff?
- Will we be okay during flood season?
- How much should we store at home to feel safe?
Many of you may have these concerns.
Especially for families with small children, the peace of mind that comes with safe drinking water is very important.
This time, we will provide an easy-to-understand explanation of the concept of drinking water stock for families with children, aimed at families residing in Thailand.
Why Family Drinking Water Stockpiling is Important in Thailand
In Thailand, depending on the region and season, you might experience:
- Power outages
- Water cutoffs
- Heavy rain and floods
- Delivery delays
- Weather making it difficult to go out
These can occur.
Especially in urban areas like Bangkok, disruptions to logistics and transportation might be felt more than disruptions to public utilities.
While adults can manage, early preparation provides peace of mind for families with children.
The peace of mind about water is different for families with children.
For families,
- Frequent hydration
- Drinking water during meals
- Preparation for illness
- Peace of mind on days you can't go out
The importance of water is higher than for adults living alone.
Therefore, it's recommended to have some on hand rather than buying it only when needed.
Recommended amount to stock per family size
While it varies depending on living environment and age composition, many people generally consider 2 to 3 liters per person per day as a guideline.
For a family of 3
- 2-3 days' worth: approx. 12-27L
For a family of 4
- 2-3 days' worth: approx. 16-36L
If you have small children
It's reassuring to consider having a little extra.
500ml bottles are also convenient for families with children.
Having 500ml bottles in addition to 2L bottles is convenient.
- Easy to carry when going out
- Convenient for school and lessons
- Easy to use during power outages
- Easy to use hygienically in smaller portions
It's practical to use 2L bottles for home storage and 500ml for daily use.
Where to store in a condominium?
Storage can be limited in Bangkok condominiums.
Distributed storage is recommended.
- Under kitchen sink storage
- Bottom of closet
- Under the bed
- Entryway storage
- Places children can't reach
This also makes it more convenient than storing everything in one place.
Rolling stock is recommended, especially for families.
If you buy it and leave it untouched,
- It will get old
- It will expire
- It will just take up space
This can happen.
That's why we recommend rolling stock.

- Keep a little more drinking water than usual
- Replenish as you drink
