Thai Government Successfully Seized Large-Scale Illegal E-Cigarette Store
A large-scale e-cigarette shop in Pattaya, Thailand was successfully shut down by government, seizing over 5 million baht worth of merchandise.

According to a report by the Thai magazine "FARANG" on March 23, Thai government authorities, following a national directive from the Prime Minister, successfully shut down a large-scale e-cigarette store, seizing e-cigarettes and accessories worth over five million Thai baht, with a total of over ten thousand items. The targeted store was located in Pattaya, and this operation is part of a larger crackdown on illegal trade. The Ordreif store became known for selling e-cigarettes and accessories discreetly following public complaints received by the Prime Minister's office. The immediate action was taken due to the serious threat these products pose to the health of young people.
