What are the current policies regarding e-cigarettes in Phuket?

E-cigarettes, including vaping devices, are currently illegal in Thailand, including in Phuket. The law prohibits the buying and selling of e-cigarettes, and enforcement can be inconsistent; while using e-cigarettes may not always lead to legal issues, penalties can include fines ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 baht if caught. Many locals and visitors still use them despite the law, and issues often arise primarily at customs. Travelers are advised to exercise caution, as laws can be enforced at the discretion of law enforcement.
