I am moving for retirement from Pattaya where I have been for the past 19 years. I am one of the unlucky ones who got caught up in the new Thai retirement rules. I am $120 a month under the requirement in my monthly pension and I cannot afford to leave $26000 locked up in a Thai bank until I die. I have that much but I have to dip into it from time to time and that is not permitted under the new rules.

So here is my question for the experts: I gave up smoking four years ago. I switched to vaping and turned that into a hobby. I have a load of mods and tanks, so many that I don't even use. Just collecting the stuff over time. Like a hobby. It is of course illegal in Thailand but easy to obtain and many Chinese companies will ship product to my home in Pattaya. I know because I have lots of it and never had a problem. I do not vape outside my home. Can I bring some of my Vape setup through the airport in Phnom Penh in my carry on or am I risking a problem. Can I have some of my gear shipped to me through the postal service from Thailand to my new address in Phnom Penh or is that a possible risk.

I don't want to get off to a bad start here but I really don't want to go back to cigarettes. Any advice from those with experience in this would be a big help.

Bringing vape stuff to Cambo through an airport is not a problem and vaping here is ok too, but I'd be more worried about the Thai side after reading a few stories about wanting bribe money etc. I have my vape gear and juices in my carry on and I arrive and depart at least once a month through Phnom Penh airport. Only time I got stopped was once in Singapore and he asked to look at my vape once and a few airports have checked the size of the juice containers on departure. Just make sure juices are 100mls or less or else they will take them off you.

In PP there are quite a few vapes shops around selling lots of juices and equipment etc and even a few different mini marts stock ejuices (although not much variety).

Thanks very much for your sharing your personal experience. I think I will have my items shipped to me via postal service perhaps in two packages. I might take one in carry on bag with me when I depart. I don't think there is any problem on departure from Thailand but I would not want to carry a vape kit into Thailand through the airport. No need for me to do that as I will be going one way....out.
