1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.

    Hello
    im visiting thailand bangkok sept 20-25, then koh samui 25-29

    i wanted to know where i could buy ejuice/liquid since i dont want to bring too much on the plan with me.

    if i cant find a store or on the streets, i can buy it online and have it sent to my hotel room, but how long does it generally take?

    :welcome:

    @adamkim83 - I've moved this to our New Vapers section so the rest of the guys can give you a proper welcome. How long have you been vaping and what type of gear are you using?

    Not sure if you know but the import and sale of vape gear & juice is currently banned in Thailand. You'd be well advised to bring enough juice with you for your trip...pack it in your checked luggage. Your flag indicates that you'd be traveling from the US so you have many more juice options available than we do here. There are practically no B&M stores to be found in BKK (and none for sure in Samui). The juice you'll find on the street or in the night markets is from China and not of a particular high quality.

    If you want to purchase locally, you can check the juice offerings of Micky, Big & Tienga in their forum subsections and of Veni Vidi Vapor and E-Liquid Market in this section. Delivery to your hotel via EMS should be no problem...takes a day or 2 at most.

    Hey Siam,
    ive been vaping for over 3 years. im currently using a istick 50w eleaf and a rebuildable kayfun. ill be bringing some tools/cotton/kanthal so i can build an atty while im over there.

    this is great information. i should be bringing at least 6-7 bottles of 15ML juice as a carry on, and one big 100ML juice in my check in luggage. should last me a good 2 weeks there =)

    I'd suggest putting as much as you can in your checked luggage...only carry what you need for the flights over, just in case! We've had no reports of any problems upon arrival into BKK but if you're transiting the Middle East, Dubai is to be avoided...they took a member's mod recently during transit security screening.

    this isnt related to vaping, but i have a side question.

    for you travelers, do you recommend getting a MiFi device or unlocking your phone and using a thai sim? i dont plan to make any phone calls but i do want just data so i can use google maps and the chatting apps like Line and Whats App. at the same time i dont want to carry 2 devices (mifi and phone)

    any recommendations? i have a note 3 which im not sure if i need to unlock

    +1 To what SD said, juice is illegal to import, not that it isn't done. But your selection of juices, price, and ease of obtaining is better in your home country by far.

    And if you need to bring juice into Thailand, there is a way.

    (And OP,without getting into the full reasons why, whenever someone mentions bringing vape gear into Thailand I am obligated to post a picture of anal lube. If I don't the forum will be sad, and the world will stop revolving.)

    This anal Lube picture associated with your profile picture @Submaniac is rather disturbing ^^
