Do you know how many cannabis dispensaries there are in Thailand? It is said that there are about 5,500 cannabis dispensaries throughout the country, with over 1,000 of them located in the capital city, Bangkok. These dispensaries can be found in popular areas for tourists, such as Khao San Road, as well as in business districts like Asok, Sukhumvit, and Riverside. In this blog, I will introduce how to find the best cannabis dispensary in Thailand.
How to find a cannabis dispensary
Finding a cannabis dispensary is relatively easy. In Thailand, these dispensaries often have signs or store designs that feature cannabis leaves, making them easily recognizable while walking around the city. However, if you are looking for high-quality cannabis or medical marijuana, simply stumbling upon a dispensary might not be sufficient.

Important things to know about cannabis in Thailand
While there are many shops and cafes in Thailand, it’s crucial to be aware of the regulations regarding cannabis. Cannabis has been legalized in Thailand, but extracts containing THC levels above 0.2% (such as edibles, food, and cosmetics) are still classified as narcotics. There are no restrictions on THC levels in the cannabis flower itself.
Smoking cannabis in public places is illegal, and the maximum penalty is a fine of 25,000 baht or three months of imprisonment. If you choose to smoke, do so in designated cannabis smoking areas. The legal age for purchasing cannabis is 20, the same as for alcohol.
