Proposed Thai Laws for Vaping in Thailand

First I'd heard of the deportation thing per se WRT vaping. But then I guess they can deport you for any 'severe' offence, so may not be a change at all, and maybe the guy was looking at options as they pertain to Immigration.

 

I've heard that ft don't send to LoS anymore, same as some other few company dus to confiscation
and from a friend who works wih dsi, ft is first thing they suspect

Yeah from what I've seen, FT goes off and on. No problem ordering from them last week. That said, even if it gets through, I doubt I'll order again. Plus, if what I've ordered gets through, there'll be enough to last me a lifetime I think LOL. But, it's only wires and cotton I've ordered, so the Thai mark-up on those is not that drastic anyway. Should be plain packaging so we'll see if it gets through. Probably not worth the anxiety.

 

Very crazy situation here in Thailand. I just had a package mailed (priority mail)from the States seized by customs. It was $500 worth of consumer merchandise purchased on Amazon and eBay. With over 20 items like clothing, bike parts, and toiletry items, the package contained ONE mod and 3 bottle of juice. The ENTIRE package has been seized and, according to customs, none of the other items will be delivered to me.

I’m not pushing the matter for fear of steep fines or worse. My shipping agent said he’s filing a missing package claim with the international mail carriers union, saying that sometime Thai customs will return the package to them but not to count on it.

This is totally unfair and total nonsense! The laws here are so arbitrary. A few weeks ago I flew from Pattaya to Chiang Mai on Air Asia. I got stopped at the scanner coming into the airport because they saw my mod inside my check-in luggage.

I thought I was screwed! The security guy asked me if what he was seeing on his screen was a e-cig and I admitted it was. He asked me to open my bag and upon inspection he simply said to remove the battery and carry it on, and leave the mod in my checked bag! That was it; no confiscation, no fine, nothing!

 

Don't order vape stuff from outside Thailand, if you are already in the country. It's much better to order from thai vendors online. Thats the way I always do it.

 

As I find myself exploring different neighbourhoods I've not only encountered the vape stall at the shopping mall ENTRANCE but also found like 4 vape stalls in the same road in a different area. There was even a cop coming out if the cafe standing right BEHIND the stall that took a glance at me flr a few seconds (must be my very long dreadlocks) amd then just waltzed along. It kinda got me a bit paranoid as I didn't know if it could be a set up for a bribe but either way...there's even a shop a few roads away that sells concentrate flav (1 litre min of anyone's keen to go halfies or thirds or quarters whatever)

**Updated**

Guy at the shop says that as long they're not selling nic or if a customer isn't caught with nic it's ok...any views?

 

I would suggest if you encounter a cop that plans to take action you don't want to be caught with anything. There will be no distinction between nicotine and non nicotine juice.

Maybe it's a setup to target foreigners that appear to have money as these stalls don't even hide themselves and local Thai people came and bought like it's nothing but when I stood there for a few min the cop appeared. Either way I don't leave my apartment with any gear whatsoever and if I'm gonna buy there it's gonna be a quick in and out story. No time for hanging around etc.

 

More likely because they pay off the BIB to be left alone, until shit rolls down from on-high and / or cops not on the payroll walk in and stir things up. Maybe the cop had come for the tea money

 

Depends what you're ordering and where from I guess. I've had plenty of success just lately, mainly tanks and at a SIGNIFICANT saving over local vendors and with delivery times of 5-6 days. Well impressed and better off financially Doubt I'd risk it with stuff I couldn't afford to lose though and if my latest order gets through, that'll be me done for a while. Personally, I wouldn't touch FT!!!

 

Any advancements re legalities etc? I saw something about medical cannabis and some kinda plant akin to meth being legalised next Aug but still nothing on Vaping...uuurgh.

 

Please dont speculate on things you dont know about. The plant being talked about is Kratom and it is nothing like meth. Its a plant...... That has been used for centuries by Thai's especially in the south..
