Ever the more silly!
Let me ask you a simple question, would you rather smell perfume or smoke ? What do you think most people prefer?

OK easy, but what about traffick Law's and regulation's !!??
Thailand has good traffic laws and regulations. Problem is that they are never enforced properly and mostly ignored.

Alcohol induced violence... drunk driving fatalities.
both are (negative) secondary effects of beer drinking, effecting those that did not nessesarily drink.... just as negative effects of smoking, secondary effects
but.... on the bright side, my smoking missus won’t want to spend as much time out at restaurants or pubs, saving me a s***tonne of money... she’s gonna be pissed off, when this kicks in ????????????
Alcohol is heavily regulated already. Drunk driving is illegal.
Drunken Violence is illegal.
Buying alcohol at certain hours is illegal.
Drinking in public is illegal in some cases.
Being drunk in public is illegal in some cases.
Remember, the new smoking laws will not make smoking completely illegal, it just regulates it a bit more.

Its not just an "odd whiff" though is it ?
Its the constant cloud of smoke drifting over .
One person having one cigarette would cause much smoke , but when you have a group of people constantly sparking up , it becomes cloudy with the smoke
The people most hurt by this are People that are working under such conditions. Bartenders (in countries where smoking inside is still allowed) , doormen etc.

It's just my preference and opinion. I don't like smoke and the arrogant, self entitled smokers that seem to think they can smoke wherever they want and it is me that needs to "let live".
Those little glass smoking rooms at the airport are a prime example. The airports gave smokers a place to smoke indoors, and what do the smokers do? They prop open the doors to let in fresh air and in the process stink out the airport. Result - take the smoking rooms away.
Their attitudes got them where we are today and fortunately society and laws are on my side.
I agree completely. But I also think that most smokers are respectful and they usually ask if it's ok to light it up or they go stand somewhere a bit away from people. I respect that.

Silly argument. One would indeed attract trepidation squirting things out a bottle, and the odd whiff of cigarette smoke can't possibly hurt anyone.
Silly indeed. What if I load it up with some perfume? Or better yet, what if I walk around with a perfume bottle spraying it around people?

Millions are dying worldwide from air pollution, so don't be so sure of that. Second hand smoking- you're probably right unless heavily exposed.
Burning shit is already illegal in Thailand. Vehicles are also regulated in Thailand and can't exhaust more than certain amounts. Ofcourse none of it is enforced properly.

Sometimes a take a couple of perfume bottles into the pub and I spray them around me. Sometimes it hits people and they get upset. OMG, it's only perfume. Smells way better than smoke. I don't get it. Will this be illegal now? I like the feeling and sound of perfume spraying out from a bottle. What's next? They will take away my right to chew gum because some people spit it out in the wrong places??

I have one of those spray bottles that spray out a fine mist. I usually load it up with thousands of chemicals and walk around spraying the mist in the vicinity of people.. they always get upset and look scared.. I don't get it.. just a couple thousand chemicals mixed with air. Nothing harmful.

It just takes one smoker to light up in an outdoors restaurant to ruin the meal for everyone.
That being said I think it's up to each establishment to enforce their own smoking rules.
As for completely public spaces like a street or a park I think smoking could be allowed if smokers just showed a little respect and walked away a few meters from people... Most do.. almost all smokers show respect for others.. but not all ofcourse..always a few bad apples...

The visa fee is 1000 THB? Removing this fee would bring in more tourists?? I highly doubt that.. even if it did, what type of tourist cares about 1000THB visa fee?? Can't be quality tourist.

There are also cases of girls getting drunk , lose their inhibitions and go along with it and regret it the next day .
Yes, and even more fully consentual with no regrets.

Maybe , could also be that she was drunk and flirty with the Thai guy and he thought that she was willing for a night of passion ?
Yes, all possible.
If you search Koh Phangan rape on Google it seems like the usual way the locals go about it is they rape them when they are passed out and they don't care if they get accused because everyone is so drunk and high that it's easy to just say "she wanted it, she is a wild party girl".
The abduction method seems more popular in other areas of Thailand.

yeah sure there are such cases but not in a small place like Koh Phangan with only on road to go around. Locals and tourist everywhere so do the police.
Moreover, cameras everywhere too.
looks like this is a huge misunderstanding of the lady.
it became customary now for some attention seekers to come up with stories like this and after a year???
No secluded spots in Phangan? That sounds unbelievable.
Why after a year? Don't know.. makes little sense.

Had the guy had any bad intentions , he probably would have molester or robbed her .
There may have been some confusion about where her hostel was , did they actually go past her hostel or just a turning off or something ?
Maybe he was going a quicker way or maybe he thought that she was staying somewhere else ?
Could be that she fell off the bike drunk and exaggerated her story
Could be that she misinterpreted the situation.
or the guy wanted to take her to a more secluded place and he knew the place she fell off was a relatively busy road and he got scared.

looks like an attention seeker girl.
why disclose this story after a year??
and story has contradictions.
Moreover, she explains it like, they forced her to drink and attend the party!
you cannot carry people on a motorbike to rape too! and lots of people everywhere in koh phangan. one road to go all those parties.
Such people needs to be banned from Thailand as these fake news damage Thailand.
and most importantly, looking at her and cannot imagine why a Thai guy want to have asexual relationship with her while all those beautiful Thai girls around!!!
Rapists gets a kick from the power. And usually they are opportunists, they take what they can get, they can't resist the urge.

There's more of these stories if you use Google.. always same thing.. fake motorbike taxi. Drives them to secluded area.. they can't get off the bike because they driving too fast.. not unbelievable at all.

People who think this story is unbelievable.
It has happened before multiple times.. I found this just on first Google search but I remember more cases .. just didn't find them now.

You're probably right about everything, who knows. But you are wrong about the part about cannot carry people on a motorbike to rape. I recall several similar stories of Thai women being raped this way.. someone they trusted (or someone coerced them) puts them on a motorbike and drive them to a field or remote area or something and rapes them.

In the region? you mean koh phangan? not sure haven't been for many years.
your second sentence suggests that you know this was a rapist, you don't know that at all.
I mean cm.
Ofcourse I don't know. I'm just assuming she didn't make up the story. But I could be wrong.

Either it's been changed slightly for reader experience or she found a moto taxi with unusually good english skills.
There are no motorbike taxis in the region afaik.
This was a rapist that was lurking around a party area as rapist does and waiting for opportunities.

Not sure it's changed. Tesco Lotus entered Thailand in 1997 - almost immediately there were proposals for zoning to protect Thai businesses and a competition commission investigation into supplier relationships. Then a hand grenade attack on one store and an anti-tank rocket shot at another.
The banking sector in Thailand is largely local and imported cars, bikes etc are taxed heavily. The current issues about Chinese tour businesses and even the focus on foreign criminals is further evidence.
I think there's always been a drive to protect 'Thai' businesses. It's not free trade as we know it ..... but sometimes I wish my home country was a bit less 'free'.
The grenade attacks and bombings against Tesco was over a security contract dispute.

There are other ways of “ingesting” it depending upon what issues one has. As to the cost, I have no idea but I expect it to be overpriced and underutilized. Quick and easy to get? I suppose that all depends on what it is being used for. It will certainly be only through hospitals and won’t be like the US dispensaries (unfortunately).
I want it for muscle soreness after workouts. For minor backpain / inflammation. For sleeping better. You think they will give it to me? Or is it only for more serious conditions?
Thailand makes HUGE changes to its laws on smoking in public
in Thailand News Headlines

Some people are allergic to cig smoke.
I think everyone agrees it should not be allowed to walk around spraying perfume on ppl. Yet some ppl think it's ok to have their smoke hit people... Smoke is way more harmful than perfume for most people. And smells way worse (subjective I know).
The point is, smokers are spreading something unwanted in the air and it's hitting people and this is somehow accepted because it's normal.
When doing something abnormal like spraying perfume on ppl it becomes clear how ridiculous it is that smoking in public was ever allowed.
