Smoking Areas

[smokie36]

I noticed the smoking rooms at Suvarnabhumi domestic terminal have been closed due to new regulations. Does anyone know if this applies to the international departure area as well?

No smoking anywhere in the airport by order of the Ministry of Health.

When i arrived in the middle of April, the two smoking rooms on the long walk to immigration were closed for Refurbishment. So the signs said.

Leaving in the middle of May, an information desk in the E zone departure gate area, had a sign on the desk saying which gates on Level 3 you could go down to for a smoke.

there was once a massive outdoor area you you could smoke outside behind the food court where the burger king is. alas that was enclosed long ago.

I left Thailand on the 19th June and there were smoking areas/rooms open in the airport departure gates, smoked to my lungs content until it was time to leave...

Maybe they have changed the rules since I left but I seriously doubt it..

Glade to hear they are still letting you get cancer on the international side.

Have been advised by someone who just transited Suvarnabhumi on the 2nd July, that all the smoking rooms had been closed, as of 1st July 10 - was quoted new regulations etc.

However in Chiang Mai - International terminal, saw that as of Friday 9th July 10, the smoking room was still open & operating as normal - so much for the supposed new regulations in Chiang Mai.

Both are AOT terminals........ TIT as usual

Only the smoking rooms in the domestic terminal in Bankok have closed. The smoking rooms in the International departures area are still open.
