As we told you in an article last year, vaping is clearly not welcome in Thailand. Unfortunately, after the arrest of four young people a few weeks ago for the illegal sale of electronic cigarettes, it is today a Swiss close to StattQualm who risks up to 5 years in prison.
A SWITZERLAND RISKS UP TO 5 YEARS IN PRISON FOR VAPING IN PUBLIC AND "IMPORT" OF VAPING PRODUCTS
According to StattQualm, a Swiss who was on vacation in Thailand was arrested on July 26 for vaping in public. According to the modder " He was arrested and then held in prison for six days in complete isolation without human contact and suffering degrading humiliation."
It should be known that according to one law of December 2014If you own an e-cigarette you are liable to 5 years in prison and a fine of 4 times the value of the item. The import, sale and production of such an object and it is 10 years of imprisonment.
According to information reported by StattQualm: " Apparently, he is accused of having vaped in public, and more specifically, he is accused of having imported vaping products. Of course, the Embassy, his relatives and friends, together we are trying to do everything we can to get him out of there as quickly as possible. But it is well known to be particularly complicated."
From today, we can blacklist Thailand for vapers. If you need to be there soon, we strongly recommend that you do not take vaping equipment with you.
