Home » News from Thailand » Smoke-free zones Bangkok: Violators will be fined 5.000 baht
Bangkok will have a number of no-smoking zones, including the area near Victory Monument, Silom Road, Bangkok Bus Terminal in Chatuchak, Don Mueang Airport, Taling Chan Floating Market and Chatuchak Market 2 in Min Buri district.
The floating market and Chatuchak Market 2 are complete non-smoking, places will be created in the other zones where smokers are still allowed to light a cigarette. On Silom and Victory Monument, smoking is prohibited within 3 meters of bus stops. Violators will be fined 5.000 baht.
The following measure is also already known, a smoking ban at six municipal schools.

Tobacco smoke I assume. No smoke from the tuk tuks. 🙂 Ironically, of course. I am nevertheless a strong supporter of such zones, also in the Netherlands.
Here we go again. The unsuspecting tourist, or someone who thoughtlessly lights up a cigarette in a chaotically polluted city is once again de l... Good to commit legal theft in that area again. 5000 bath bears no relation to the offense that may have been committed. Theft… my conclusion.
What you see here in Thailand, often indescribable with downed rubbish and consumption.
Fish and eat and leave the mess behind. But I guess it's up to me in this country full of contradictions.
Comment will be again you are here guest ed. No I live here, spend my money here and can and will name the idiotic sanctimonious money-oriented opposites.
Nevertheless, I, a 60-year smoker, also try to spare my fellow man with this habit.
Also aware that this is a sickening habit, but addictive. Also from me all smoking materials are allowed out of the world, that is not the issue. But the sanctimonious greed, I can't stand that.
Well, but now enforce it, that is the problem with the many laws and regulations in Thailand
To enforce?
The police prefer to target tourists/foreigners. In 1997, there was a 2000 baht fine for dropping a cigarette butt or wad of paper. I saw at a bus station that the Thais were left undisturbed, but their focus was clearly on foreigners. My Thai wife also noticed that. In February of that year, foreigners could not have known that the regulation had been introduced at the end of January.
Indeed dropped a fine of 2000 baht for a butt. But luckily my brother-in-law got away with 1000 baht.
Yes, that's bad. But why should you throw a butt or paper on the floor? Take a bag with you and throw it away later in a bucket… or something.
