Family Mart landside or nothing then!
I'm confused by your use of "airside" and "landside"?
Will you be staying in the international transit area? Or you have some DOM-INTL connection? Or originating in Bangkok?
No clue if the convenience stores in the international transit area sell single packs?
I assume that the Family Mart/7-11 landside do sell single packs, but be aware that tobacco products cannot be displayed here (excluding DF obviously) - they are hidden behind a vertical venetian blind sort of contraption, so you'll have to ask specifically to view the selection.
Smoking Areas in Bangkok / Suvarnabhumi International Airport
No idea what will happen with the new smoking laws, assume they'll exempt the airport(s) and/or build enclosed rooms?
I am supposed to stay airside on an international-international transfer. I could however go landside, as in through immigration and then later back through immigration and security since we have a very long transfer time.
I am aware of the departure tax issue for transfers less than 12 hours, but have understood it to be no problem if we have real boarding cards for the onward flight departing from BKK already before we enter Thailand.
According to dsquared37 there are no shops selling single packs airside. I will therefore try to go through immigration and try the Family Mart.
I'm familiar with the hidden shelf from other countries, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Not intending to smoke in the airport, just want to buy some "local imported" brands not available in Europe, such as Marlboro Black Menthol.
