Pattaya-Pattaya City Police, Tourist Police, and the Ministry of Public Health inspected multiple cannabis shops around Pattaya tonight, December 2nd, 2022, to check on compliance around tighter rules recently set in place in Thailand.

 

The new rules and regulations include banning smoking inside of shops, although some venues have been creative and have installed seperate smoking rooms that are not part of the main business. Exceptions are also available with proper medical staff on duty but only for medical purposes , in theory.

 

The visits checked licenses, in which no discrepancies were reported, and also warned venues not to try to find grey areas to allow customers to smoke inside shops.

 

Additionally, cannabis shop staff were warned to not sell to patrons under the age of twenty.

where there episodes of uncontrled laughter at these venues 

 

I remember (years ago) causing myself an injury because I laughed so much while smoking weed - oh and my 2 fav albums while in the throws - Pink Floyd the Wall and Fleetwood Mac -  Rumours - the latter being my all time fav - the wall coming a close 2nd 

Does anyone know the current rules. They seem to change by the day.

I remember on a Full Moon Run, the food table was set up and during the howling and Falangs bearing their naked buts to the moon, someone called the police.

So the police and us were all enjoying a beer, food and cake. Everyone was getting very happy, when the whisper went around that there were 2 cakes, a special gunja one and a normal one, the cakes got mixed up. Not sure how the police ended up, but I woke up under a pool table. Enjoyable night. ????

No, and I am sure that's the way the police like it?
