Smoking in airport buildings

Thank you and admire the “idea” of Mr. Somsak Thepsuthin, Minister of Public Health, who proposed to “increase the fine for those who violate the law by smoking in the airport building from 5,000 baht to 10,000 baht”, giving a civilized reason that “Thai airports should be 100% smoke-free airports”, which has been the case since 2019. However, Mr. Keerati Kitimanawat, Director-General of Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT), submitted a request to the Ministry of Public Health to amend the ministerial regulations to create “smoking rooms” inside the passenger terminals of Suvarnabhumi Airport, including 5 other airports managed by AOT: Don Mueang, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, and Hat Yai. สล็อต
