December 11, 20232 yr From The Nation Illegal laughing gas was spotted being openly sold at a cannabis shop on busy Walking Street in Pattaya on Sunday night, despite regular police patrols in the area. The Nation was tipped off that the shop, which sells legal marijuana products, was selling balloons filled with nitrous oxide (laughing gas) on the popular tourism street in the seaside town. A check at the shop revealed that staff inside were selling nitrous oxide balloons to both Thai and foreign tourists. The shop was also displaying a sign reading: “Happy balloon. Buy 10, get 2 free balloons and one glass of beer.” Nitrous oxide is used as a sedative in certain medical and dental procedures. It induces a mild sense of euphoria, often accompanied by giggling fits – hence the nickname “happy gas”.
