It cures hangovers and it helps with all kinds of belly sickness. It is almost like a drip, you feel like a new born after drinking it.

Now you know! When you travel in Sri Lanka and the pharmacy is closed, just get yourself a thambili. By the way, Sri Lankans believe so much in this King Coconut that they started to export thambili water around the world!
