Wow! I didn't think anybody could lie worse than glANTZ, but these guys more than one - upped any and all western ANTZ propaganda I've ever seen. To claim that PVs emit more tar and carbon monoxide that combustible tobacco is absurd and ridiculous. 
I live here in thailnd and i can tell you that i cannot believe the balls on this article ! And what is even more sad is that 95% will believe it and not for a second question anything that comes from a doctor on tv or quoted in a news article!

And so in bed with BT and BP. (Or any big business for that matter)
Their not in bed with big tobacco, they ARE big tobacco:
Mr Katha Bunitanuku is the one quoted in the article. He is the "Thai Pharmacy Network for Tobacco Control manager".
I would assume that they have a financial interest in nicotine patch, gum, zyban and Chantix sales.

And this is in the countries leading newspaper.
Your absolutely right, very few will question the word of a "authority figure". I offered a Thai neighbor a taste of my e-cig and he said "no, too dangerous" as he puffed away on his analog cigarette.

I would guess the WHO almost certainly has a hand in this, because they effectively dictate "public health" policy in developing nations that rely on UN money for the maintenance of their healthcare infrastructure, and they do it through thinly-veiled threats and intimidation.
"Hey Thailand, remember that much-needed new hospital we were going to build you next year? It sure would be a shame if you didn't take a hard enough line on e-cigs and we had to go build it in somebody else's country instead."
This is quite literally how the WHO operates.

I've had no problem discreetly bringing in vaping gear/juice in the past. I don't know if anything will change regarding customs at the airport. I haven't heard of any problems yet.
Tourism is a big part of Thailands economy. I cant imagine that they would start hassling tourists over this.
Don't worry, just be aware and enjoy your vacation!

I like Dragonpuff's tagline:
Thank you
I felt it was fitting for a lot of what we talk about around here...

Watch the movie, "Return To Paradise". Be careful, they don't mess around over there!

Add to that the movie "Brokedown Palace." There's no doubt in my mind the Thais are serious about that 10 year prison sentence...
Does this means that even tourists ire not allowed to bring their vaping equipment?I
.
Here's the rub, illegal to import it, illegal to sell it. It's not illegal to own it.
I would assume that bringing it into the country is considered importing it?
So you can have it, but you cant bring it in because its illegal to import and you cant buy it here as its illegal for anyone to sell it to you.
I've been in and out of the country with vaping gear and never had a problem, (but I've never been stopped for a bag inspection by customs).
Airport security doesn't seem to have a problem with it as I've put my gear in the x-ray scanner when traveling and they let me through.
Some people have had packages confiscated by customs when they ordered stuff from outside of the country.
I vape in public where smoking is allowed and haven't been throw in jail for it yet.
