Posters on boards say that Poppers are illegal in Thailand. There was, some time ago, a report of an arrested, illegal trader, in Pattaya, being in possession of several hundred bottles of poppers. So it seems certain that trading them may be illegal.
I was talking to a friend in London yesterday. He told me that he bought 3 tiny bottles of poppers at a reputable (?) Soho store for UKL20 ( 1400 baht ). When he tried them he got no buzz and returned them to the store who refused a refund. They said that new European Union rules mean that they are much weaker and have to come in childproof bottles.
Was this a false excuse for an inferior product or true?
