[quote=APAULT,268864]The standard of hygene is lower than we are used to in western countries so wherever you go there is a greater risk of an upset stomach. There are some street stalls and workers' eating places that are plain dirty but most are reasonable. I have had no worse problems from street stalls than restaurants. I suggest you take medication with you to treat 'the runs' or buy some as soon as you arrive. There are some great ones which are based on creosote...or so it seems from the smell. Generally, people avoid the tap water but the poor drink it of course. I use tap water for tea and coffee and for brushing my teeth. Wash fruit etc of course, though to be honest I do that with tap water too! I had quite a bit of stomach trouble initially but these days I believe my stomach has toughened up, more antibodies I guess.[/quote]
