Phuket being one of the most celebrated tourist hubs in Thailand, every year draws thousands of tourists from around the world. Exotic beaches, captivating nightlife, delicious food, and abundant sunshine make Phuket tourists’ dream destination.
Many trips advising websites promote Phuket a palace where tourism and cannabis go side by side. Going beyond such assertions, these trip portals suggest places with estimates of price where tourists can get cannabis.
Not sure if there is any modicum of truth in such statements. For travelers who intend to visit that tourism hotspot, it is advised to follow local rules to enjoy your trip to the maximum without falling into avoidable controversies.
Thailand with a history of strict anti-drug laws is amending the country’s harsh cannabis-related laws to capitalize on the economic and therapeutic advantages of marijuana. The limited cannabis liberalization in the far east nation is overshadowed by heavy regulations intend to prevent the misuse of the plant.
In other words, foreigners and tourists can get cannabis in Thailand legally but like locals, they have to follow a formal marijuana acquisition process.
Local laws to get cannabis in Phuket
Just like any other part of Thailand, Phuket’s residents and foreigners alike need to fulfill the requirements mentioned in the laws governing cannabis possession and consumption in the country.
The Government’s laws are meant to promote cannabis as a medical remedy while it can not be used for recreational and pleasure-seeking purposes.
Local laws to get cannabis in Phuket
Just like any other part of Thailand, Phuket’s residents and foreigners alike need to fulfill the requirements mentioned in the laws governing cannabis possession and consumption in the country.
The Government’s laws are meant to promote cannabis as a medical remedy while it can not be used for recreational and pleasure-seeking purposes.
In case, you are looking for recreational marijuana in Phuket, the Thai laws don’t permit it. Whether you are Thai national living in Phuket or a tourist came to have some memorable time here, you can only eligible to acquire legal marijuana if you are suffering from a health condition that falls into the list of approved medical conditions.
The approved medical conditions enlist several conditions that the Thai government believes can be treated by using medical marijuana. You need a certificate from a qualified physician that verifies your health condition.
Patients with certified health conditions can get medical cannabis from designated cannabis clinics or government-specified hospitals.
Tourists entering the country with cannabis stash need to declare it to the customs authorities. There is a stock declaration form for tourists, they are required to list the amount of marijuana in their possession. Later, by visiting an FDA or public health office they can get their stock back by presenting the following documents. Passport Air tickets (as proof of traveling) Copy of medical prescription Prescribing doctor’s license
Getting marijuana approval can be a bit hectic and complex. However, there are dedicated medical cannabis lines that foreigners can use to get their required information.
The visitors can get information in English by dialing 1556, Ext. 3 from an FDA operated helpline. Another run by the Narcotics Control Board can be reached at 1386, Ext. 3 during regular government office working hours.
Violation of cannabis laws
We strongly discourage pursuing cannabis from illegal channels as advocated by some of the websites. Despite the country’s gradual progress to legalize marijuana, strict laws are in place to deal with unauthorized possession and consumption of cannabis.
Violators may have to serve a jail term of one-year or pay a financial penalty worth of 20,000 baht (USD $ 600). Since laws don’t discriminate on the basis of violators’ nationalities, it means being a foreigner would not help you to escape the law in case of a violation. There are several cases of foreigners ending up in jail for illegally possessing cannabis in Phuket.
Laws in transition
Cannabis laws are in transition, and the government is making amendments deemed suitable. In one development, Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said hospitals under his ministry start prescribing medicines with cannabis extracts within three weeks.
“While the drugs are in production now, I have asked that laws be amended to accommodate this move. Within 2-3 weeks, hospitals under the ministry will be allowed to prescribe drugs containing cannabis extract. Assuming good results from treatment, the policy on cannabis then will move on to the next step,” he said as reported by The Phuket News.
In days to come, it is expected that regulations governing cannabis consumption would be amended and it would improve the availability of the drug as well as the acquisition process simple and straightforward. With such changes, cannabis can be acquired in Phuket with greater ease and less bureaucratic hassles
The residents of Pattaya can get their dose of cannabis following the formal procedure set out by the government. If you are looking to get your hands-on cannabis in Pattaya, you need to be aware of a few things. Only get your medicine from offical cannabis clinic in Pattaya.
First, you can get cannabis only for treatment, it is prohibited to use marijuana to seek pleasure. Second, your eligibility depends upon the extent you fulfill the requirements stipulated in the formal cannabis acquisition process. Third, even if you are entitled to consume cannabis under the Thai government’s laws, any possession or consumption of illegal cannabis may leave you to end up in jail or face a financial penalty.
To get pass the medical cannabis eligibility requirements, your medical condition needs to fall in a list of approved medical conditions. All patients suffering from medical conditions listed in the approved medical conditions such as cancer, migraine etc., can seek medical marijuana to treat their symptoms.
All the patients who fulfill the first condition need to see a qualified physician. The physician would certify their medical condition and prescribe medical marijuana for the treatment of their symptoms.
Having a doctor’s certificate, patients need to visit one of the designated clinics located in Pattaya. The cannabis clinic is the final step in this heavily regulated cannabis acquisition process.
Currently, there is only one cannabis clinic which dispenses medical cannabis to meet the needs of patients looking to use cannabis as remedy against their health conditions.
The location and contact details of the Origene Clinic Pattaya is listed below.
For smooth, safe, and stress-free cannabis consumption, marijuana enthusiasts need to be aware of local laws governing the use of the plant. Given the harsh anti-drug past, the Thai government regulates medical marijuana consumption to avoid any potential misuse.
The basic premise that shapes the outlook of marijuana consumption laws stems from the government’s conviction; cannabis is a just medical remedy, not a substance to seek pleasure. Moreover, the laws reflect the intent and desire of the regulators whereby they want eligible people to only use cannabis available through legal channels.
Reflecting authorities’ strong regulatory intent, new Narcotics Bill stipulates any consumption in violation of the provisions of this law may result in a one-year jail term or a financial penalty of 20,000 baht (USD$ 600).
Tourists visiting Pattaya
Any of the tourists visiting Pattaya also require complying with the provisions of Narcotics Bill. They can have marijuana only in the form approved by the Ministry of Health. Any violation may see their stashes are being confiscated.
Upon arrival into the country, foreigners are advised to get their cannabis approved following FDA set procedure. Tourists just like Thai nationals are required to show their medical certificates. Therefore, officials suggest tourists should carry their medical certificates with them and show them to the customs officers upon their arrival in the country.
Any departure from the laws of the land regarding cannabis possession or consumption may lead foreigners to face fines and persecutions. The fact that Thailand is the first far east nation to legalize the cannabis should not send you under the illusion that cannabis possession and consumption in the country is a matter of personal choice.
Cannabis legalization is heavily regulated in the country. In the best interest of foreigners visiting the Pattaya, they should ensure they are duly following the laws governing the acquisition and usage of cannabis.

For three years, Lek secretly cultivated her cannabis plants in rural
northeastern Thailand, still afraid of arrest by authorities wielding
tough drug penalties despite the promises of a gradual loosening of the
law.
On June 9, cannabis was effectively decriminalized and she finally
emerged from the underground weed scene to become a legitimate grower,
part of an army of newcomers to the most-hyped market in Thailand.
“We’re in a ‘vacuum period’ so anyone can practically do anything for
now,” said Lek 34, whose full name is Piyatida Jantra, as she prunes her
100 or so plants in Korat.
The area is the gateway to Isaan, a region of rice and sugar farmers
facing plummeting prices for their staples and in desperate need of a
new cash crop.
Thailand is the first Southeast Asian country to take such liberalizing
steps, recognizing the medicinal — and economic — benefits the plant may
bring.
The country’s journey toward becoming a paradise for cannabis consumers
and entrepreneurs is unexpected in a kingdom where successive
governments have taken a zero-tolerance attitude toward drugs.
The change began with a 2019 election pledge by Anutin Charnvirakul, a
connected billionaire with big political ambitions, who promised to
unlock the law to help farmers in the Isaan area with a new cash crop
primarily for the medicinal market.
Entrepreneurs learn how to grow cannabis plants at a cannabis farm in Chonburi province, eastern Thailand on June 5, 2022.
Isaan is the most highly populated part of Thailand and will be
crucial in securing votes in the next general election, scheduled in the
first quarter next year.
Turning on the tap to billions of dollars of new potential revenue also
was warmly welcomed by the monopolies that dominate the Thai economy —
and backed by the army-linked government, in which Anutin serves as
health minister.
Major corporations and rich private investors got ahead of the law,
buying up vast plantations to grow cannabis in the best soils across the
north and northeast, and establishing factories to extract premium CBD
oil.
That left them in a position to seize market share when last month’s
decriminalization made it legal to grow, trade and use all cannabis
products, from the leaves and stems to the bud.
Legally restricted for medicine or food
Currently, cannabis is in theory restricted to use in medicine or in
food and must contain less than 0.2 percent tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
the compound that creates the “high.”
In practice, it is a legal gray area that has ruled out prosecutions
under drug laws; there is currently not even a minimum legal age to buy
or sell it.
A cannabis bill is due in the coming months to detail exactly what can and can’t be done.
For smallholders like Lek, there are fears it will be written with the
interests of large corporations in mind, rather than homespun businesses
like hers.
“The government needs to go all the way … where every household can grow their own, no more controls,” she told VOA News.
“But once the law is passed, I guarantee you there’s only going to be one big group of capitalists who will gain.”
'Amsterdam of Asia'
At present, cannabis chaos pervades the kingdom: Tourists are openly
smoking joints on the famous Khao San Road in Bangkok, while some Thais
have appeared on TikTok videos seemingly unable to move after eating
marijuana brownies. The government has urged cannabis growers and users
to be responsible and discreet.
“The main goal of weed legalization is still for medicinal benefits, to
boost the economy and wellness,” the prime minister’s spokesperson told
reporters on June 29.
“We ask that everyone cooperates during this vacuum period until the official law is passed.”
Weed aficionados are celebrating a law change allowing a long-hidden
culture into the light. It’s also stirring a major market opportunity
and research into the benefits of a plant found native in Thailand for
centuries.

legalization of cannabis at the Thailand: 420 Legalaew! weekend festival
hosted by Highland in Nakhon Pathom province on June 11, 2022.
“Everyone will have their own space within this industry,” said
Chokwan “Kitty” Chopaka, an advocate and entrepreneur who has been
bombarded by inquiries since opening her dispensary in downtown Bangkok a
couple of days after it became legal.
“It’s not just growers, sellers and consumers … we still also need researchers, accountants, marketeers, product photographers.”
Other industry insiders say there is no rolling back the law.
One of those is Siriya Thepcharoen, based at Siam Cannabis Land in
Chonburi, eastern Thailand, which includes a museum, vast underground
laboratories growing weed strains like “White Widow” and a plantation.
She said the mission of her company, NUSA CSR, is to help make Thailand
the global hub for medicinal marijuana use.
“We are targeting medical tourists with certain conditions like
insomnia, stress, Alzheimer’s, and for the elderly who also want to come
to Thailand for R&R,” she told VOA.
“But we will also target young people who may travel here for recreation, seeing Thailand as the ‘Amsterdam of Asia.’”

Thailand’s Marijuana laws have evolved dramatically in recent times. What was once considered an illegal drug, unsafe for society, is now legal, mostly. Thailand approved the decriminalization of cannabis, agreeing that the Health Ministry drop cannabis from its list of controlled drugs. Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul signed an announcement removing the drug from Category 5
Many travelers, and those relocating to Thailand, don’t give riding a motorbike a second thought until they arrive and realize it’s the easiest and cheapest way to get around. Suddenly, without having planned it, you find yourself out on the open road on a machine you have zero experience of operating.
Isaan refers to Thailand’s northeastern region, the largest area of Thailand. The word is also sometimes spelt Isan or Esarn. The reason for its separate identity is a history of war and people displacement. Without delving too far into the history here, see Wikipedia for that
It’s always a difficult question to answer because a holiday in Thailand can be as cheap or expensive as you like. I suppose this can be said for most countries, but Thailand is different. It really is an all-budget country.

It sounds simple enough, but depending on where you arrive, the options and pricing will differ. In this article, I cover a few of the most popular holiday destinations, so that you’ll know what

Thailand has a new system for entering the country called the Thailand Pass. It is a free, web-based system that manages your entry to Thailand.

If you’re renting a condo or an apartment for more than one month in Thailand, you will have to pay a deposit. Two month’s rent paid upfront is standard, though the law states that landlords with more than 5 properties are only allowed to take a month’s deposit.
As a foreigner, whenever you talk about buying land in Thailand, some smart Alec pops up and says, “You can’t own land in Thailand, so ner”! While this is sort of true, the law doesn’t restrict foreigners from owning land in all instances, which we’ll discuss in a moment.

Thailand’s drug laws are very strict, except for marijuana, of course, which is now legal, albeit with some restrictions on public use and age limit.

If you’re working, retiring, or frequenting Thailand then it makes sense to have a bank account. Why? Because using foreign credit and debit cards involves high fees, on top of local ATM charges.
