webfact Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Picture: Daily News Daily News reported that the head of Thailand National Parks Thanya Netthammakul had issued an order banning visitors from cooking food that produces smoke in tent and other accommodation areas. This the media interpreted as a barbecue ban. The order is being introduced to stop annoyance to other visitors and to prevent such food preparation attracting wild animals who come and look for food and cause damage to property and possibly other dangers. It was introduced on July 2nd and is effective from now onwards. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-16 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyIdea Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) In tents and other accommodation areas? Sure, you never cook in a tent anyway. But how do you cook without smoke out in the nature? Bring an electric stove? Go to the restaurant? This doesn't sound well thought through. Edited July 16, 2021 by MikeyIdea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2021 Looks like Campers will now be eating those dehydrated backpacker meals where all you add is hot water to the pouch. Miss those days of hiking and camping with our Scout group. It was always a great time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring a gas stove, did that a lot while camping in my youth you got them from small to big. Not sure though if it would help against animals smelling food. But then again any food will be smelled by animals. But this eliminates the smoke. But maybe its a bad translation and its not just about smoke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOAX Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 What are they talking about? What annoyance to other visitors at tent areas? Why would other visitors visit tent areas other than camping themselves? How many people camping do not barbecue or cook food without making some smoke? No one does. It's the whole charm with camping. Considering camping in Thailand has become a very popular way of holiday among Thais in recent years, this isn't going to be received well, especially considering the vast majority of camping areas in Thailand are in national parks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not BBQ'ing as such, but as a 14 yo did try cooking on a gas stove inside a two-man tent, it was raining. Bit slow between turning the gas on and striking the match........oh boy!!!!!

internationalism Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 national park offices do rent ceramic stoves for cooking and bbq. they do also sell charcoal. This order is short of forcing campers to bring their own gas cookers, but they are bulky and heavy and not as attractive for bbq as charcoal. Some will be forced to buy ready food from vendors - and be at mercy of monopolistic policies at tourist areas, with money being directed to park officials. charcoal produces a very little smoke and smell, it's not offending in the open space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends who you are, and once out of the circle of influence you must watch out as what has happened to others may happen to you. A place we used to stay in up on Khao Yai was built half in the park and half off, the cabins were ordered demolished as well as anew residence the owner had built for a foreigner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually where we live, the Mae Wong national park is literally the other side of the back fence, about 250 metres from the house. There is nothing there except trees, hills and jungle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up next. "Grilling a marshmallow will be punishable by a 50,000 THB fine and two years in prison." Welcome to clown-world. God forbid putting it on a Graham Cracker with chocolate to make a Smore, they would be boiled in oil by the Hi-So elite. Re-reading the OP and the article it makes it sound like no barbeques at all, be it the propane gas ones or the charcoal. It must still be ok to have the backpacking style ones to heat water on. Last time we went camping here in Khao Yai we pitched the tent I had brought from the US with my other backpacking gear when we woke the next morning there were tents surrounding us, and when we left the area it looked like a garbage dump. What is wrong with these people, you pack it in and you pack it out. No wonder the streams, creeks, and rivers are full of trash, just like their front yards. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
