BANGKOK (AFP): Bangkok Asian Games organizers are having to step up water supplies for thirsty athletes in hot and humid Thai capital.

They are now providing around 240,000 bottles of water a day for the 8,000 athletes and officials. "We were also providing ice, but the trouble is it started turning into water so that maybe discontinued," said Games spokeswoman Valerie McKenzie.
