That famous beach was Maya Beach located in the nearby island to Koh Phi Phi; Maya Beach was still slightly protected from the mass tourism afterwards, while Phi Phi village took the hit with all that concrete, ‘fine’ hotels, pools and over-crowded jungle. True paradise before, not a fan of how it evolved. Have no desire to return.
Thanks @SteveTC for the review as if I could buy a couple of those without facing the wrath of the law (corrupt or not) they would probably do given the circumstances.
Certainly not anything I’d be remotely interested in normally but if it’s that or nothing I’d take the first option.
I’m still tempted to dust off a couple of old egos to see if they work but from what I’ve been reading if I’m caught trying to enter the country with them that’s tantamount to trying to import vaping merchandise which is not something that will be treated lightly at border control.
We haven’t ventured beyond the hotel yet as it was late when we arrived and we were/still are very tired.
As soon as we walked out of the airport I saw a middle aged bloke using a disposable.
Wandered around Patong Beach today and the associated madness that are the shops and markets.
No I don’t want a new suit, a massage or a knock off handbag.
I didn’t see anything vape related being sold, although I didn’t look for it. However I did see a lot of people both tourists and locals (I think) vaping with disposables with what appeared to be little regard to who saw them. Out the front of Starbucks sitting down drinking coffee as an example.
We went on a boat trip today to James Bond Island and I noticed two of the staff using double battery mods and drippers.
During the safety instructions it was explained there was an area at the back of the vessel where it was ok to smoke and use E-cigarettes.
I’m beginning to believe the laws are in place but are ignored for the most part.
That was just from one seller, where you could get 1kg for 83,- USD. You can get all kind of strains, looking all kind of ways. Just avoid dispensaries unless you want to pay 15 to 30 USD per gram for their fancy strains, because you can get some for 25 cents per gram that is perfectly fine with decent amount of THC and smoke 100 joints for same price as the fancy ones!
I hear when runny packs up flavourings for DIYers in the South East Asia region, the box is littered with weed ash, in fact he uses it in place of packing styrofoam.
