Thailand Smoking Ban Goes Into Impact - 0 views

  The new smoking ban in Thailand bars and restaurants is in impact and from what I have observed the law is getting treated like any other law in Thailand. Browsing To try billige seemingly provides warnings you might give to your dad. What I mean is, some establishments have already set up smoking regions, other folks say you have to smoke outdoors the restaurant or bar, and others are ignoring the law altogether.
  
  The explanation for ignoring the ban could be that it will not genuinely be enforced for a couple of months. As an alternative of stiff fines getting issued, there will be warnings and education until the finish of Could, 2008.
  
  But, then, the fines will be steep. If enforced, smokers can be fined two,000 Baht (approximately $62 US dollars) and venue owners will be fined up to 20,000 Baht (more than $600 US dollars).
  
  This will force the bar and restaurant owners to enforce the law on their home. If the ban just penalized smokers, the establishment owners would completely ignore it.
  
  This is practically nothing really new. Thailand has banned smoking in hospitals, government buildings, and train stations for a handful of years now. This is just an extension of an currently current law.
  
  We have a equivalent law in Hawaii. It is a little more stringent in that we cannot smoke within 50 feet of the door of the establishment. The law also gives fines for smokers and bar and restaurant owners.
  
  As a smoker, I was a bit peeved initially at the law, but as time has gone by, it is genuinely no huge deal. If I have to step outside to smoke it is no massive deal.
  
  I am currently going to Khon Kaen, Thailand and go out practically nightly. I havent been to any bars but I have visited really a couple of restaurants. One particular of my favorites, La Mai, has set up a smoking region close to the restrooms. Smile restaurant allowed me to smoke at the table. And, Bu-Sa-Ba restaurant has a modest, covered smoking region in the rear of the restaurant.
  
  So, among now and May possibly 31, ask your waiter or waitress if it is alright to smoke. If they have a smoking region set up, please use it. If you have to go outside to smoke, like at Kit'z Caf, then just sit at the table and have your cigarette.
  
  I am not positive how the main tourist locations, Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket, are going to respond or what the influence on tourism will be. I would guess that starting on June 1, 2008, there will be a crackdown to show men and women that the government is critical about the ban.
  
  So, if you are arranging to go to the Land of Smiles, and you smoke cigarettes, make certain to ask if it is OK to smoke before you light up. Otherwise, you might have to pay dearly.
