Thailand and cigars

[Lunettesman]

Hi guys,

Hope you're doing fine. 

I will be going to Thailand next week for holidays. Bangkok- Ko Samui and the islands-Sukothai.

Any recommendations when importing the cigars? Lighters? Cutter? What would be your advice. I heard it's not a good idea to bring a jet flame with me, but then how to proceed once there? Bringing matches? Also are the LCDH worth visiting in Bangkok?

What are the does and don't?

Thank you

I think Thailand had their first ever Regional Edition last year. Interesting how RE's have now begun to expand towards SEA region with Malaysia a couple of years prior. Maybe Vietnam should follow soon since they have a famous LCDH now.

No jet flame on flight for sure, you can buy a small jetflame from 7-11 locally or otherwise every other cigar lounge will have what you need. The Cohiba Atmosphere has the largest selection of cigars at the moment but it is not within a walkable distance from any train station so take a car. Bear in mind, Thailand is somewhat on the pricier end. LCDH Siam Kempinsky is a classic place to go to, the Sindhorn Kempinsky is newer and finally if you can bring your own. There is a whole lot of other places to go to with amazing sights. 

Let me see if I can put some videos together and will do a quick introduction on BKK!

Thank you for the explanation. Planning on bringing my stash. Maybe buy some on site but not really a plan as I have anything I need. I'm close to the Kempinski hotel during my stay.

Be careful, I hear a lot of the habanos in Thailand aren’t what they appear to be.

I usually stay at the Pathumwan Princess when I travel to Bangkok. Was thinking about staying at the Siam Kempinski on my next visit. 

Other places to smoke; Abandoned Mansion (can get a bit too smoky), Aqua Bar, Whisgars (food is pretty good).

I did a quick voice dub, hope this helps!
