It is not advisable to drink tap water in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand or Myanmar, but bottled mineral water is safe and available everywhere. Ice in drinks is generally okay in good standard hotels and restaurants but it is best to avoid it on street stalls or in countryside areas.

To be a more responsibe traavler you are best to bring a refillable water bottle with you and fill it at water stations in your hotel. We at the Footprint office have a water station as well, so if you like, you can always come pay us a visit and fill up your water bottle here!
