will be in pattaya from 22 june and fancy trying la bamba and ezy bars . can i smoke in these bars? how is the smoking ban affecting business? i like a cig with my beer and i dont want to stand outside like in this crap country.
If you do a search there was a previous discussion about this.
But to save you the trouble - most places will probably not bother to enforce it - especially outside Bangkok.
The only time the police will bother is when they are short of money/there is an efficiency drive.
Then they will only target the places frequented by farangs because they are perceived as being able to pay.
In short if you want to smoke - do so - just be aware that it might cost you 2000 Baht on a bad day.
TIT!

(elbarto @ Jun. 04 2008,06:38) ..i like a cig with my beer..
And I like to be in a clean, and with breathable air, bar Where I don't have to choke and the foloowing day bringing my clothes to the laundry as they smell as an ashtray.
With or without a beer...
Do only what you think it's good for you, and not what others think should be good for you!
It's your damn language...We simply borrowed it...At the very least you language inventors could try and use it so us borrowing Yanks can understand what you mean (BTW the word should be "as")...
Sorry, Elbarto...I'm still struggling with English English...

At EZY bar, I gather the no smoking ban will be implemented 'sometime soon'. But in the meantime those of us who want to breathe have to go outside (or to another bar - which is what Socrates999 and I did last night )

Most {indoor} bars in Thailand imposes the ban now elbarto, although perhaps not the Japanese targeted establishments.
IMO it is a good idea and a little disapointing to read that Karl flouts the law in his own place
