Much the same as the laws in America not to be smoked in public. Which leaves the home you live in. Which means basically if you don,t live here (expat) you can not smoke it. Have a Thai I.D card show it buy your stuff and go home. This thins out the tourist idiots who don,t give a damn about ANY Thai laws anyway. End of issue! Having said that if you are off by yourself on a remote beach who really cares. Only some Thai government dude that was never voted into office.

Good these people really need to get a life along with their fantasy tax ideas, visa fantasy ideas. You really wonder who is on drugs us or them.

Good to hear. I don,t feel like suddenly becoming a criminal over night because ONE person in government decides its evil. Where and when is the vote? Or did they suddenly forget that fact?

You mean a Ball of confusion . Take a look at Dr. Doom's Facebook page . He is posting all sorts of crazy stuff like Reefer Madness. Sorry I never ran around naked stoned. I tend to eat lots of donuts and pizza afterwards. No more Pizza Company I guess.

ZZZZZZZZ ! Time to light up and just ignore all of this. That power hungry nutcase will be gone as soon as the new government comes in. Than all the lawsuits against the government like a landslide will happen they will back down more than likely and it will be as if this was just all a bad dream , just like the ever changing visa rules , taxing expats, chasing YouTube people and other forms of just creating chaos. Seriously starting to wonder what all these government people are on.

Dr. Doom was afraid of his own butt getting tossed out of office because HE does not like it. TOO BAD!

My hunch is the cig and booze companies were losing money.

It was never voted on . Dr. Doom signed it and declared himself the boss same old crap you heard for years in America. Lawsuit time I think.

Back to crazy Ralph and Reefer Madness daze. Sorry never seen any pot heads turning into zombies but seen hundreds of foreign drunks causing problems daily. Thailand is the foreign alcoholism hang out in the world.

And they are concerned about others smoking in their own homes. They don,t smoke yet seem totally unable to think out a plan for anything. Maybe the government should hire a foreigner to teach them.

BINGO! Correct answer. It has to be voted on by Parliament first to become law therefore Dr. Doom lawsuit time!

All the Thai shop owners and Thai pot users better vote out these clowns as soon as possible and take Dr. Doom and gang to court. Is everyone suddenly a criminal over night?

That was perfect thank you.

I was recently traveling in a northern province where a member of the Thai Royal Family has a residence. While walking one morning along the river was approached by Thai MP's and ordinary police. I asked if I was allowed to film or take any photos along the river front near the residence, The answer was as long as I faced the camera towards the river while walking past the compound. A walked another 1000 feet and turned backed with no issues. Are there any official short posts/signs or laws written by the government so I can have a future reference to show others that might wish to film that portion of the river ?

Only the best. 200 pound shirtless porkers , dirty shorts and flips flops the women not much better. Have to love their overall attitudes.

A few?

Just look for foreigners that NEVER smile (besides the Russians) those are all from Israel dead giveaway every time.

Like the toxic air pollution its all about $$$ but what if the PESTS are scaring off many? I have not got near the place in twenty years and I thought it was bad then.

Toss who I consider the biggest PESTS of Thailand but I have to say Israeli . Over two decades here and everytime I encounter them I want to flee they are so fracking obnoxious. I have no issues banning both from Thailand forever. True <deleted>$!

I am glad someone is taking this matter seriously. Maybe have some high ranking government officials spend a couple of weeks sleeping in a tent will maybe get a hint pollution does not care how much money you have YOU and your CHILDREN are going to suffer.

Are Air Humidifiers helpful at all? Where did you purchase the air purifiers and how much? Anything at a Homepro store itself?

Yes it is mostly at night between the hours of 6pm soon after sunset tends to hit a peak about 1 am than slowly gets better sometimes not. What is the air purifier brand , changing filters ? , how much from where? helpful much?

I travel anywhere there are few if any foreigners and oddly after twenty years doing fine. Not saying have not had any mishaps but it sure seems like places like Pai, Phuket and Pattaya kill off a lot of foreigners yearly.

Curious how most expats deal with the air pollution in their homes. Do you have air-con in every room or a safe room to stay inside? Do you use air purifiers also? Name brands of air purifiers would be helpful along with prices where you purchased it and how it works in your home or room. As much information as possible would be helpful for all those concerned. Since the government seems totally unwilling to make any effort to clean up the air and garbage pollution. We are all at risk including those working for the government and their families!

Have the Russians learned yet maybe it is safer to stay in the homeland and enjoy their great leader.
