Where To Buy Weed In Bangkok?

HomeLifestyleWhere To Buy Weed In Bangkok?

2022 saw Thailand enact some of the most liberalized and open-minded cannabis practices in the world.

In the blink of an eye, the once taboo and illegal plant was reclassified as a traditional medicinal herb.

Hundreds of dispensaries opened throughout Thailand, with different levels and quality of cannabis and service.

Mendel Menachem and Nick Becker from HighThailand, Thailand’s preeminent source on all things cannabis in Thailand, have visited many of the most unique cannabis venues throughout the land, trying and reviewing the many facets of the Thai cannabis culture and scene.

Let them take you on a virtual weed tour through Bangkok’s best weed shops.

Disclaimer

This article will not cover weed trucks, which are a common sight in Bangkok, as they are illegal.

truck selling cannabis in Khaosan road Bangkok

The reason for their illegality is that a license to sell weed is tied to a physical address, which a truck does not have.

We do not cover edibles either.

Although some weed shops offer edibles, the majority of high-profile dispensaries in Bangkok do not sell them due to their unclear legal status.

As a result, we cannot provide any recommendations on edibles such as weed brownies or THC-infused gummies.

While Ganjana may be located quite far from the bustling city center of Bangkok, the journey is well worth it.

We refer to it as the “Temple of Thai Weed,” this dispensary is owned by some of Thailand’s most skilled and renowned growers – 66Zombie, Canis Major, Olive the Gardener, and PowerPuff – who were cultivating cannabis underground long before legalization.

Once you’ve experienced their flowers, you’ll understand why Ganjana is so highly regarded.

These talented growers are not only passionate about cannabis but also have a love for Magic cards.

If you’re interested in joining them for a game, it’s best to check in advance if they’ll be playing on the day of your visit.

Adjacent to the dispensary is a small skate park, offering a fun way to spend some time before or after you indulge in their top-quality products.

And speaking of indulging, smoking is permitted in front of the dispensary, allowing you to enjoy your purchase in a relaxed and comfortable setting.

Although you may have to venture a bit further out from central Bangkok to reach Ganjana, the exceptional quality of their locally grown flowers and unique atmosphere make it a must-visit destination for any cannabis enthusiast looking to explore the emerging cannabis scene in Thailand.

Address: 17, 12 Kluai Mai Alley, Chorakhe Bua, Lat Phrao, Bangkok 10230


Restaurants

As we have not personally visited any cannabis-infused food restaurants, we are unable to provide genuine recommendations for such establishments.

Typically, these restaurants use only the leaves of the cannabis plant in their cooking, which makes them legal, unlike most edibles such as weed brownies or gummies that often exceed the legal limit of 0.2% THC content.

However, we have received positive feedback about two “weed restaurants” that serve dishes with cannabis as an ingredient.

These include the MD-82-Café in On Nut, which is located in a decommissioned airplane, and Koko, a Japanese fine dining restaurant in Silom.

It is worth mentioning that at the most recent HighTable event held in February 2023, a four-course dinner with weed pairing was available.
