Hi Tom

No, I have not either,..although it is a bit puzzling to me as the 'Hokkien' chinese (from Fuijian province) started coming into Thailand in masses during the mid 1800s (tin mining labor) and should have brought with them the snuffing habits and the bottles.  It is a bit of a mystery to me why there are not more snuff bottles to be found in Thailand, especially in Bangkok.  As we discussed in another thread, the Thai themselves used other containers (mostly metal and silver).  The only explanation I can give it is that the lower classes that immigrated still did not do much 'snuffing' at the time they came to Thailand, and for the Thai themselves it was an 'elitist' habit, connected to Royalty and the court.
