When I went to Singapore, it was on a courier flight, out of LAX. My Husband flew out the day before and called immediately, as there are Laws there against smoking, littering, chewing gum, bringing in VITAMINS (considered contraband)... everything in Singapore is considered contraband, apparently.... at any rate, I didn't think too much of it Until I saw the amnesty barrels filled with dope, at runway exit of plane. They make a presentation as the plane lands regarding the Island and their zero tolerance to Western Drug influence.... IT scares the shit out of you and it should.
Two weeks before we were there, a rock band came through,
and two misfortunate crew members were hanged to death
One for basically pot seeds... some shake and seeds were found in the bottom of a pairs of his jeans pockets...
and another guy, had cocaine residue in something.
Neither incident would be worth mentioning in The States
Yet these men were Hanged.
That is Singapore.
I would not risk it personally, as parts of Thailand are wildly uncool and other parts are "HEY, smoke this!"
Local Governments tend to let local shit stay local ... yet they are and can be wildly unpredictable.
Bottom line, they want as Much CASH Money as possible out of each and every tourist.
They hate white western privilege... and will fuck you if you Lead with it.
Take Care
