I'm an inveterate smoker, yes I know... not good, etc. I don't deny that it's bad either, but I can't seem to quit. Now I'm going to Thailand with a few friends for the first time. Now I have already found out that you are not allowed to smoke on the beach in Thailand. But what about next?
I have a question about Dutch rolling tobacco (Drum or Samson or similar). Is it for sale anywhere in Bangkok? or Kanchanaburi? I've searched but only found a few old threads from years ago. It is absolutely not my intention to start a discussion here about whether or not to smoke.

When I started traveling for work in the early XNUMXs, it was always very common for many passengers to light a cigarette after taking off the plane. That was later somewhat curtailed by a smoking and non-smoking cabin layout.

Reader question: ASQ hotels and cigarette smoking
I see a lot of positive messages about the ASQ hotels, although they are a comfortable prison in my eyes. That you can't leave the room, possibly read a lot an hour after x number of days, but it stops there, remains a privately chosen prison.
For several weeks I have had trouble walking after 25 meters from my left hip. When I walk on (which is sometimes necessary because there is no motorbike taxi available) the pain radiates further down, first to my thigh and then to the calf. Stopping occasionally and standing for 2 minutes helps somewhat to continue walking.

Because I assume they don't have police on every beach?
I am a man of 66 years young, smoker (20 a day) but not a drinker. I used a sleeping pill (Zolpidem) for 25 years and stopped taking it for 2 months, that took a lot of willpower, with all kinds of withdrawal symptoms. As I said, no problem for 2 months, but now I'm at it again, otherwise I won't sleep.
