    Hi all,

    So, I'm traveling to Thailand at the end of next month (June), and am wondering what the current legal situation is with vaping in Thailand. I'm flying into Hong Kong, then to Bangkok, and then to Phuket. I'd just be bringing my mod, tank, 4 batteries, and probably 60-90 ml of juice, which I'd carry-on other than the juice, which I'd check. Not so much concerned with the where I can vape, as much as whether or not I'm going to get pinched at the airport and fined/jailed. Just want to know the current laws to determine whether or not it's worth bringing it, or if stoge's are going to have to do for the two weeks I'm there. Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    I entered Thailand late last month coming out of Japan. I had 18 batteries, two mech mods, two drippers, and one two-bay charger in my carry-on. No problems.

    This matter has been covered extensively on here and is the subject of several ongoing threads...the short version is that the import & sale of vape gear & juice (even for personal use) has been illegal in Thailand since the end of 2014. Nonetheless, you probably won't have too much trouble getting your gear in here...but you should be very discrete while vaping in public. ;)

    It's all covered in the threads listed below.
