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.

    Unsure where to post this, so I figured I'd pop it over here...

    I did a bit of searching here and elsewhere, but so far it seems like Udon seems to be a relatively "safe" place for vapers... in the sense that there doesn't seem to be any news of authorities actively looking out for us. I've been a couple of times, and the airport security (both in and out) don't really seem to be bothered with much. That said, it doesn't hurt to ask.

    Both times I was in Udon I mostly vaped in private (apartment, hotel, etc.) but on occasion when walking around and there was nobody around that I could see, I'd whip out my vape and take a quick drag before popping it back in my pocket.

    Anyone else staying in or spends a lot of time in Udon have any comments? I'm heading over tomorrow for a month.

    Just be very careful. The police will see it as a way to make money.

    Remember Its all about the money in Thailand.

    Just as a little follow up to my concern over vaping in Udon...

    I've seen a few people vaping here, I wouldn't say walking around chucking clouds, but relatively "normal" in the sense that they would vape the same way a civic conscious smoker would smoke. You wouldn't see them puffing in a crowded area, indoors, etc. They'd be outdoors, out of the way, not hiding, but just trying not to be in the way of people. Mix of foreigners and locals.

    Then a couple of days ago, I went to this place called Bar'ista. First time I'd been there - just decided to see what the food was like (tip: it wasn't great). As I was eating, I saw a cloud out of the corner of my eye... later, I caught the smell along with another cloud... and I spotted a local vaper, vaping openly, looked like an RDA on a mech, in a relatively crowded bar/eatery (outdoor - and there were also normal smokers around). As I left the place, I noticed at least another 4 or 5 vapers with varying devices... all vaping openly, mods on the table.

    Given the stories we're hearing from the rest of the country, I think Udon is a relative safe haven for us... at least for now. I'm going to continue to vape safe (out of sight, in private, etc.), but seeing so many vapers in Udon is definitely a welcome sight for me.

    I've found the same down here in the South where I live. Seen and met many Thai vapers vaping openly in bars and outdoor restaurants. Non are concerned about vaping but a couple I know who trade in vape gear are very careful indeed on how they go about their business. Also seen a few chaps who I know are cops vaping, including a very senior one.

    I won't encourage anyone vaping at the public. Who knows it is a good or bad day especially you're farang.

    Roll the dice...smuggling is a time-honored profession. :D

    I just got back yesterday from a trip to Singapore...took stuff with me and it made it back safely. YMMV

    Green line is just like always...came through with a group of people (I don't use a cart...my luggage has good wheels), stayed to the outside, didn't make eye contact and just breezed right through like always. They only do random scans of people coming through...you'll be fine. ;)

    I don't know about you...but going back on the stinkies would not be an option for me. I'd stop vaping before I did that. I brought my gear to SG so that should tell you something (and they're much worse than here on vaping).

    Dude, the amount I bring in and out of Thailand (value-wise) is huge. I was not bothered at all when I entered Thailand with three mechs, two chargers, 18 batteries, and 500 ml of juice. It's all in how you pack it.
    The risk is half the fun!
    For me, it was easy. I came in at midnight and had no problems. I do what @Siam Diesel does. I have followed his advice for years and it has never lead me astray.
