Can you bring electronic cigarettes to Phuket?

Thailand has fairly strict laws regarding smoking, and electronic cigarettes are treated especially seriously. Smoking an e-cigarette can result in a fine, and in some cases, even imprisonment. Accordingly, bringing vaping devices to Phuket is also prohibited — if discovered during inspection, authorities are required to confiscate them.

If you smoke regular cigarettes, you’ll need to look for designated smoking areas. These zones can be found in shopping malls and other public places. On the beach, smoking areas are usually located closer to the roads.
