Cigarettes at BKK
 

Anyone been through BKK recently tell me how much 200 Malboror Lights are at the moment please?

Thanks

If you're streetside they are about 80B/pack. If you're at duty free I believe they are about 600B/carton.

It's been a long time since I looked and I could just be confused with the inflated price at PNH dutyfree (inflated because duty free prices are higher than in town).

Would that not make it 800 baht a carton streetside !

Can't say I've seen cartons for sale... but yeah, I suppose so. :D

550THB last week, I think.

Pretty sure they are 550BHT also.

Does anybody know if it's possible to buy single packs of cigarettes airside BKK? In some airports countries that works fine even post-security, in other places you can only buy 200 in a big carton.

Not sure about airside, but there is a Family Mart on the 1st floor, pre-security, that does

Going back a handful of years to my smoking days and I'd say no; I can't even think of any type of convenience store airside where it would be possible. And duty free is 200 or nothing.

Thank you both! Not really a regular smoker, but they have interesting brands there, and low prices. Family Mart landside or nothing then!

FWIW, I noticed on my last visit that the Miracle Lounge in concourse D (priority pass member) has a "bamboo garden" which is just a polite way to say a smoking area open to the outside air.

Does anybody know if it's possible to buy single packs of cigarettes airside BKK?

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.

OK, no clue if these KitKat-y flavors are widely available here - a quick look on Thai social media indicates a local grey market for these sourced in Japan, but also be aware that packaging rules/laws for tobacco products here are shifting from the macabre to the generic (all white, with just "Smoking Kills").

Haha, I know, dead babies, lung cancer patients, open throats, funerals...one could almost believe smoking is the only thing that kills people :rolleyes:

Thanks god for China, at least being consequent (showing even other causes of death very graphically) and showing heads of people just being run over by trains (at least they did son in railway stations back in the 90s). Made these look decent.
