“He was going to smoke. We were approached by police and I saw the case badly stopped”

O host João Baião has already returned on vacation and the “Happy House” with Diana Chaves is back in charge. And it was precisely on SIC's morning program last Friday, August 28th, that SIC's face told us that she lived moments of tension during the holidays in Bangkok, Thailand.

“I had a bit of a scare,” he started by confessing, explaining that he went on vacation with close people and there was a friend who smoked “heated tobacco”, something that is “completely forbidden” in Bangkok, and were approached by the authorities. 

“In Singapore it is completely forbidden and in Bangkok too. But in Bangkok I saw some people outside the hotels smoking their pens. One of my friends was smoking warm tobacco. Everything was quiet and at night, we'd go out on the street and he'd smoke. Suddenly we were approached by two cops. I saw the case very badly stopped. They wanted to take us to the station. They really wanted it,” he said. “The lack of knowledge of the law does not excuse,” he said. 

“ Moreover, they do not master English well. To communicate with them is very difficult. Now, fortunately, there is chatgpt [and it helps us talk to other people in other languages]. But their approach is very harsh,” he added.

After some time of conversation, and after the objects/products were confiscated from him, he further detailed, “the thing resolved”. Still, João Baião did not fail to confess that it was “a scare”.
