Can I smoke a cigarette/ cigar/ pipe in any of the resort’s restaurants??
The past 8 years the Thai government’s on-going reinforcement of smoke-free zones in public areas has required us to further restrict smoking in all our restaurants. The law says that Patrons are NOT allowed to smoke where food is served. Therefore, please note that smoking is not permitted in the Spice’ N Rice Thai restaurant and in our signature restaurant the Seven Seas restaurant; both restaurants have an outdoor terrace; for the smokers only a small section in each of these 2 restaurants has been allocated for those who wants to light up a cigarette.
Another outlet the Banyan Tree Poolside Café, adjacent to the large pool at the villa estate, also has an area allocated for smokers.
Rak Talay, by the beach, an all fresco restaurant, remains to this day – and this could change at any time - the only non-restricted area for smokers; though, one, as a matter of courtesy, should always ask guests at nearby tables if it is suitable for you to light up a cigarette. Thank you for your understanding.
