The expats club of Thailand is probably going to raise their dry throats again and complain about the possible rise of the sin tax.
The Thai government is planning to raise all sin tax to 90 percentages and make it easier to check the real price from the factory since they think there is a loop hole.
Prices on alcohol and tobacco would raise but the price on the biggest sin in Thailand does not have a tax since prostitution is illegal and therefore does not exist in Thailand.
Skip the lady drinks a go straight for bar fine to save money will be the tip of the month.

I think this is the best day of this year what ever happen after the 17 February this year. The 17 of February this year the Thai government has decided to stop all smoking in entertainments and market places.
No more black thick nose hair, no more clothing that smells like death and no more cigarettes burns on the clothing’s.
Do not get me wrong I do not mind to smoke a cigar sometimes but I do it with friends after a good dinner and they are all puffing away as well.
But I do not force my smoke on to anyone that does not want it year after year without consider that I actually killing this person slowly.
Some people told me that in the countries that they banned smoking already in Discos the place smells like old socks because now you can smell everything else like dirty clothing, old food, kitchen and other not so pleasant smells. But at least they are not dangerous to my health.
I think this is the best thing the Thai government junta did for the Thai people and for me off course, thank you from all my lungs.

Well something is positive with the coup anyway they going to ban smoking in Nightclubs with air-conditioned. The night clubs that wants to have smokers must set up small rooms for them to smoke in where no none smokers are.
I really like this idea and I don’t have to smell like a smoker every time I go home. Let’s see how many night clubs now turn off the air to and open all windows.
The new law will take effect soon but no date will set (as usual).

Thailand has taken a new step against smoking. From today you can no longer smoke in

public phone booths (well yes seen it but not a big problem)
libraries (the librarian going to kick the shit of you)
theatres (do they still do that?)
children’s playgrounds (well that’s a good one)
drugstores (always smoke when you buy your asthma medicine)
meeting rooms (what is a meeting room?)
massage parlours (who want to smoke when you in a bath with a girl?)
spas (how about the intents stick and the candles?)
indoor stadiums (have the never seen the movie old school?)
Schools & educational institutes (well that is a really good one hurray)
The old rules apply as well off course
Air-conditioned areas in art exhibition halls, galleries, museums, shopping malls, barbershops, Internet cafes and karaoke booths are also no-smoking zones.
The ban includes the lobbies of hotels, resorts, condominiums, apartments and restaurants, excluding entertainment areas.
But you can still smoke in personal offices, individual rooms or rooms provided as smoking areas.
If you caught smoking you will have to pay 2000 THB and if it is for example in a meeting room they have to pay 20 000 THB. So if you do not like the boss anymore please call 02-590-3342 and report yourself.
The press statement did not say who is going to catch all the smokers and who is going to catch all the smoking policemen. But if you see a police smoking please call 02-590-3342 and if you have a camera please send us the photo.
