Adrien **********

It is possible but you should get a longer visa to be safe. The new immigration boss is more strict than before, ED aren't that easy anymore but it will probably be ok if your passport in blank.

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

Adrien **********

Cops may arrest and fine you 5-15k baht, you may contest as the law is about buying but dont do it as they can end your hollyday with a deportation stamp.

You can take it if you can afford the fine in case you are unlucky enough to be caught, use it in private area and you will be fine. Thai people dont care about it, a lot of them use it.

Can I obtain a Thai driver’s license to legally ride a motorcycle if I missed getting a license in my home country?

Adrien **********

you can either make a thai license from your country's license, pass the thai test or straight up buy the bs.

I passed the test because I did not have a motorbike license, but I could have paid 20k to get it without test too.
