"It is against the law in Thailand to smoke in a bar or a restaurant"
Yet another ill informed poster
Not an ill informed poster at all, it's certainly against the law to smoke in a bar or restaurant in Thailand, and in fact in many countries.
In Thailand a smoker who chooses to flout this law is liable for a fine of 2,000 Baht, with the establishment being liable for a fine of 20,000 Baht per smoker.
I'm sure countries around the globe have introduced these laws for a reason.
Yet another ill informed poster, but seeing as you are an "oldgit" I will cut you some slack.
If you both had added the rider, in a bar or restaurant that is air conditioned, I would agree.
I also believe if the bar or restaurant has one side open its not against the law.
No mention of the many open air bars or restaurant.
But dont let your ignorance get in the way of a good rant.
With due respect it seems to be YOU that is ill informed,the restaurant here is totally open on all 4 sides,no smoking signs with some Thai writing including 2,000 baht ,are displayed everywhere except for the 3 outlying tables farthest from the cooking area.
Going back several years when this was 1st introduced many 'open air' bars in Pattaya only allowed smoking at tables away from the bar,then when it was realised that it wasnt going to be enforced things went back to normal.
I am having difficulty understanding your post, however please indulge me.
To quote you, "With due respect it seems to be YOU that is ill informed,the restaurant here is totally open on all 4 sides,no smoking signs with some Thai writing including 2,000 baht ,are displayed everywhere except for the 3 outlying tables farthest from the cooking area"
To quote you from a previous post you made"It is indeed against the law to smoke anywhere in an air -con restaurant or bar in Thailand ,furthermore it is also illegal to smoke in an 'open bar /restaurant' except for the outlying tables.My lady owns & operates a 56 cover open restaurant near Nong Ki & only at the out-lying 3 tables is smoking permitted,the local health inspector pays a monthly visit & signs a form which is displayed for all to see."
On the one hand you say I am wrong, you then post to state that smoking is permitted in your own restaurant, " it is also illegal to smoke in an 'open bar /restaurant' except for the outlying tables"
Sorry I dont understand the nature of your post, is smoking prohibited or isnt it?
