Nobody wants a rock-free gin and tonic. If there's a hole through the middle of the ice, fear not.
Not many Thais drink tap water. Nor do they make ice with it, so there's really no need to spend your holiday drinking warm Coke.
If you're worried about contamination, the safest thing to do is look for the circular ice cubes with a hole through the middle. These ones are made in a factory with filtered water and are perfectly safe for consumption.
Most wait staff are so accustomed to tourists not wanting ice they automatically leave it out of drinks. On the other hand, many beer-drinking Thais like to toss a few cubes into their mugs so if you go to an outdoor bar the waitress will likely pass you a bucket of ice with your bottle of Singha.
