Archie Pelago Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Hoping some fellow Phuket members might be able to help me here. Looking to find a shop which sells Gudang Garam cigarettes locally. They are Indonesian imports. I know they are available - I had a minivan driver last month who had them, and he said he got them near the Surin turn off, but I couldn't get any details. He also said they might be available in Phuket Town. Please post if you can assist, cheers Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 You might try the cigar and tobacco shop located in Fisherman Way off Viset road (Chalong to Rawai), just past the Tesco Lotus. By the way, pussies smoke Gudang Garam. Real men smoke Dji Sam Soe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 When I was a boy, only hippies smoked those. They had a flavored butt if I remember correctly. Fisherman's way cigar shop is probably your best bet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Pelago Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Thanks for the advice - I went to the Cigar shop at Fishermen bend this morning - but they don't stock them. Another forum said something about a market at Loma Beach - but I can't quite work out where they mean. ...and I wasn't able to travel to Phnom Penh - funny enough it is not located in Phuket (unlike the thread title) Thanks Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NamKangMan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This question came up a while ago. My suggestion was, try to find someone doing a visa run to Bali and organise with them to bring some back for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie Pelago Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks for the replies - still no luck. If anyone spots them in a night market or street corner - please let me know if you don't mind the trouble! Cheers Archie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'd also be interested in finding these in Phuket. I found some down at the ferry port at Pak Barra on the way to Koh Lipe, but have not had any luck finding these around Phuket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaVisionBurma Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Off topic post removed. I'm sure the OP is well aware of the issues with smoking - the question was asking about where a certain product can be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took about one week to arrive, however one has to now go through a rather convoluted payment system, but if you are familiar with Western Union then no probs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
