It is produced with Intelligent Micro Filter technology from Switzerland that uses filters as fine as 0.2 microns during the production process to ensure pure drinking water that is high quality, clean, safe, tasteless, and odorless while still delivering health benefits. Having received NSF certification from the United States and the Thai FDA Quality Award for six years in a row, everyone can trust the quality of Nestle Pure Life, which continually receives excellent consumer feedback.”

The Nestle Waters Factory in Surat Thani province serves as a hub for producing and distributing drinking water to southern consumers under the Nestle Pure Life brand. It is also one of the two Nestle Waters factories that produce drinking water in Thailand that are both certified to Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS) international standards.
Ms. Naritta added, “Building on our success as the number one drinking water brand in Southern Thailand, this year we increased engagement with Thai consumers and welcomed tourists with the ‘Nestle Pure Life Freshtival’ campaign. Using a brand visibility strategy, we transformed Patong Beach in Phuket into a landmark of ‘refreshness’ with beautiful beach chairs and umbrellas. We invited everybody to refresh themselves with famous water sports activities such as parasailing and banana boat rides. We expect this campaign has reached more than 7,000,000 Thai consumers and tourists during the activation.”
