No smoking on the beach. The Department of Marine and Coastal Resources lists Phra Ae (Long Beach) among 24 beaches where smoking is banned, and says it provides designated smoking areas on them. The penalty is up to a year in prison, a fine of up to 100,000 baht, or both. Our guide to Thai laws has the detail, including why the list may since have changed.
