Proposed Thai Laws for Vaping in Thailand

Great. Thanks for the info!

 

Airport: Abu Dhabi (AUH) Inbound
Hand luggage: Scanned
Checked luggage: No security
Body: No security

Great success! I’m vaping outside the hotel now... nobody is around so I can’t be certain anybody cares, but judging by the last time I was here, everything should be fine. Everything will be in my checked luggage on the way out just to be safe anyway.

 

Don't put batteries in your checked luggage. All of it gets scanned and they could call you back and start asking questions.

Batteries can also start to 'run away' and self combust. Not something you want when you're on the same plane, upstairs.

 

Been seeing this today on the ECST Facebook page. Anyone got any idea what it's about?



Reading the translated comments, it seems like it something positive. Don't nt want to get my hopes up.

 

Saturday did a visa run via DMK to KL and back. Only had with me my ezip but went right through bot ways no problem. it was in my carry on as i did not have a checked bag.


When i got back they had a long line of people going through customs checks. looks like they were trying to get everybody to scan bags. the line got too long and they finally decided to just let people go through without scanning. So, if you are carrying and you seem them screening everyone. Might be worth while to take your time shopping at duty free until the line gets too long and they start waiving people through.

Missus says this is a letter they are sending to the ministry of commerce. They are trying to get more show larger numbers so their statement has a bigger impact on p politicians and bureaucrats. If you have a thai friend/wife etc might want them to have a look and maybe throw a like

Less vapers in Abu Dhabi than in Dubai. This time around, I didn't even spot one. Vaped cautiously, and didn't hit any snags on the way out with the usual packing (mod/tank/etc separated in checked luggage and batteries in hand luggage).

Next adventure, to DMK, and then to UTH. Largest concern is the domestic departure from DMK to UTH. Hopefully, I'll arrive in one piece and be able to report positive things to everyone here.

 

Hopefully............

Maybe......... a change on the horizon...

Thanks for posting the link and translation. This is very encouraging.
I'm coming over in April for two weeks, mostly as a pre-retirement trial. Aside from bank account opening and visa planning the two big issues to check, vaping and health insurance.

For insurance, see what I can get long term and can I live with the exclusions. Exclusions for issues directly related to 45 years of smoking.
For vaping I wanted to see if I could go 2 weeks or longer without vaping, just a patch. I was't going to bring my gear nor plan on vaping in my room. Not for me, wasn't going to take the chance.
Now I'm very encouraged, up until I read this post I had the thought that maybe I should cancel, not now. Even if nothing has changed for April, I can come over knowing there is some hope for the long term.

 

Thanks for posting the translation...from what I could understand sounds like a step forward ️
