    You said in your OP that you are in a guest house. In my experience those are for backpackers or Cheap Charlies. Some people never got over the movie The Beach and you are in Thailand. If you don't fork out more for your lodging then don't expect miracles... you get what you pay for. Considering the change in cannabis laws your hotel owner probably has more backpacking tokers as clients than yoga heads like you. Business wise it is an easy decision from his point of view. Put up or shut up because he probably prefers to please the majority rather than start a hotel war.

     

    Did you ever consider the age old idiom?

    If you can't beat, them join them.

    You have a right to be able to eat without being subjected to other people's smoke but this problem wouldn't happen if the law, as it also is in a lot of other countries, was more equitable.  There should be smoking restaurants and pubs and non smoking ones too.

     

    Why? Because smokers have rights too, just as you have rights to breath smoke free air, so should smokers have a right to smoke.

     

    As a smoker myself, I actually prefer to breath smoke free air so mostly choose a non-smoking establishment and usually go outside or use an 'allowed' area to smoke. I live alone in both the UK and Thailand but don't smoke inside the house in either location. But I also get sick of these rules that fail to take account of all factions and in the case of smoking, seem to be created by vehement anti-smokers who wish to impose their wishes on everyone. 

     

    I was in Thailand over Christmas/New Year and called in to a bar in Sukhumvit for breakfast one day.  This bar has 3 or 4 seats on the 'outside' and probably 30 seats inside - it allows smoking at the outside seats which I believe is within the law.  I was the only customer when I arrived and sat outside.  I enjoy a smoke after breakfast and duly lit up.  Whilst I was eating my breakfast another guy had arrived and chose to sit outside.  It was quite clear that this bar allowed smoking in the outside area as there were ashtrays on the tables - my rolling tin and lighter were clearly visible.

     

    As soon as I lit up, the new arrival complained and asked me not to smoke - I refused, pointing out that he had chosen to sit in an area of the bar where smoking was allowed.  He wasn't very happy - tough.

     

    In relation to the OP in this case - as far as I know, the law in Thailand prevents all hotels/guest houses from allowing guests to smoke in their rooms. I stayed in one recently which clearly stated that smoking was not allowed - there was an ashtray in the room ????.

    yes pot smokers and regular folk should be separated

    Where in Thailand is this? 

     

    I talked to my neighbour about annoying behavior, and he did actually listening to me, and quit his morning sessions watching fox news during my coffe time at sunrise. He started using headphones instead of open speakers. 

     

    But if you can  not solve it yourselves without killing somebody, then move. Life is to short as said to have those negative feelings.

    i did move to another place now a stoner wearing tie die  is blasting rasta farian music at 7 am during my meditation when will this end
