Thanks for your feedback.   I read somewhere online that there are now many hotels that are generally smoke-free, regardless of whether they have balconies or not.   I’m going to try my luck, though.   The idea of having a cute ladyboy with a view of Benjakitti right in my room is just too tempting to pass up—I’d rather not look for another hotel :-)

My last stay at Centre Point was in 2018, so clearly times were different back then. I recently stayed at Hope Land in Soi 8, which also claims to be a total non-smoking hotel now. But I took the liberty to just smoke on the balcony. If you put the cigarette butts neatly in the trash (I wouldn't throw them down ), then no one will ever find out and you don't have to worry.

I was there in 2025 and it wasn't an issue.

No experience with this particular hotel but I’ve never seen a hotel balcony in Bangkok/Pattaya that didn’t have an ashtray on it. Where did you read that they won’t allow smoking on the balcony? I’d be very surprised if they have such a rule.

Dear forum members,   I’m traveling to Thailand in early October, primarily to get some dental work done, but also, of course, to meet ladyboys.   I booked the balcony suite with a view of the lake. But now, after the fact, I’ve read that smoking is supposedly prohibited, even on the balcony.   Has anyone had any experience with this and can clarify the situation for me?   Thank you very much for your help.   Best regards, Joey
