Victory Momument is one of the six no-smoking zones in the capital establised by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. "The smoking restrictions come into effect immediately, and officers from municipal offices and as well as Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will strictly observe and implement the ban," said deputy Bangkok governor Thaweesak Lertprapan on Wednesday. The six zones declared as smoke-free areas are Bangkok Bus Terminal in Chatuchak, Don Mueang airport, Silom Road in Bang Rak district, Victory Monument, Taling Chan Floating Market and Chatuchak Market 2 in Min Buri district. "The floating market and Chatuchak Market 2 are now totally smoke-free, while smoking in the other four areas will be limited to designated smoking areas," said Mr Thaweesak. "Next, six schools under jurisdiction of the BMA will be designated as smoke-free zones in an associated pilot project," he said.
