...brand of cigarettes that is? ;)

 

First some interesting facts:

 

In Thailand for adults age 15 and older, smoking prevalence was 60% for men and 4% for women in 1986. In 1996, rates had dropped to 49% for men and 2.7% for women (23% overall). 45% of cigarettes are hand rolled, and 55% are manufactured commercially. 96% of brands are domestic, and 4% are imported.

 

 

Preferred Brand of Cigarettes?

Krong Thip - 'Holy Filter'

Gold City

Sai Fon

Samit

Royal

Mild Seven

LM

Marlboro

Other...plz specify!

I don't smoke cigarettes...

 

Actually, looking at the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly's web site I see many more brands that I've never heard of -- let alone ever seen for sale anywhere...Wonder and Blue Wave for example ::

 

I smoke Marlboro, BTW.

I voted LM as I usually smoke a carton of red when in LOS, but I pretty much tried them all mainly the local krung thep is ok though a bit on the strong side & the cheap local tobacco I was told to smoke when visiting a BG family as it's just so much cheaper, but not really to my liking though...

 

Marlboro is for the rich (BG's) :neener:

yeah, I get some serious throat problems with that brand...in that context I find the name quite funny - grong = filter, tip=holy... :)

one certainly get funny remarks in the bar if they see you smoke a local brand... :neener:
