Do I need a rabies jab and can I drink the tap in Ella?

Do not pet the street dogs, however cute. Rabies exists. If you get bitten, wash and go to a hospital the same day - post-exposure vaccine is the move, not Reddit. Tap water: locals drink it in some towns, most tourists do not. Boiled or filtered in guesthouses, or large refill bottles. Ice in decent places is usually from bags. I am not going to tell you the tap is safe.
