Thailand has imposed smoking ban at all six of its airports.
Oman, which has a high number of smokers has taken the unusual, but helpful move to issue an official statement.
The Oman embassy has issued a statement asking travellers from the Sultanate to be cautious while at these six airports in Thailand.
The ban which took effect on 3 February 2019 will no longer allow smokers to smoke within these airports: Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Mae Fah Luang. According to reports in the media, violators will be fined OMR 62 (5’000 baht).
“We would like to inform that six airports in Thailand has [SIC] banned smoking at their passenger terminals and has imposed a fine of 5’000 baht for violators. This is in accordance with the Tobacco Control Act 2017 and 2018 Public Health Ministry,” said the statement.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
