[PeterT]

Any on know places where I can buy Snuze (those things like small tea bags with tobacco in them)

Found a Swedish bar in Soi Eric but thought 400 thb a box a bit on the pricey side.

Yeah, IIRC it's called Sweden Bar. Has a large Swedish flag prominently displayed on a sign, and is near MTB.

BTW, what do you do with that snuze. Stick it between gums and cheek, like a plug of chewing tobacco?

Go to Mai Thai bar in Soi Eric, and ask Nicke, the owner, he uses it and seem to manage to get it from somewhere.

Actually, you might try MTB. Their homepage states:

We have Cigars and Swedish Snus (Snuff) available for sale at the bar.


Perhaps we can get a little competition going between MTB and Sweden Bar for the lucrative snus business!

Svenskt snus i Thailand. Köp snuset eller bli återförsäljare. Vikingsnus till ditt hem

More info on snus in Patong.

It is available at Kingdom Bar in Soi Crocodile, and Orchid Guesthouse in Soi Sansabai(down near the end on the left). Orchid Guesthouse caters to the Swedish trade and also has a very nice restaurant with Swedish dishes. I can reommend the steak dinner there. M-m-m-m, good!!

Call in and see Nicke at Mai Thai Bar in Soi Eric. He told me he found somewhere he can get them in Patong very cheaply

[Nicke]

I buy from India now, a lot cheaper than Swedish original ones. Talk to me and I will help you out.

[omgMiami]

Get it online, much better.

What is it with the Swedes and there chewing, well not chewing but this tea bag tabacco thingies. Have met a lot on me travels, and here in Phuket and there's a lot into em ???
Just wondering, sick of cigs or ???
And have'nt they banned these things from a lot of EU countries now ??

[Nicke]

Yes, its big in Sweden but not allowed in most other european countries. Possession is not illegal but illegal to sell. The Swedish manufacturers have for a long time trying to sell in it Europe but EU say no.

Australia is very strict, so even if you bring in for personal use, they will confiscate it. Most other countries allow personal use, including Thailand.

When I went to Malaysia last time, I was surprised to see Swedish snus/snuff for sale at Seven Eleven stores, at 80 baht/pack.

Hey Nicke was just wondering why is it banned, if they ban it but still sell cigs does this mean they are even more dangerous, is it cause you have it next to the skin or?

Some "scientists" say that it can cause cancer in the mouth and also it is a bit corrosive so it's bad for the teeth and the gums, if you use it alot. Don't know why it's banned though...

[Nicke]

I guess EU dont want any more tobacco products on the market, simply as that, during times when they try to stop people from smoking.

I would guess both tobacco and alcohol would be banned if it was invented today without the history it has.

I remember some years ago when many Europeans (especially Scandinavians) was all in a twitter about selective ban on smoking in America.
