Can visitors buy cannabis in Thailand?

Short answer: yes, with a prescription from a licensed Thai practitioner. Longer answer below, because the details are where people come unstuck.

Your nationality is not the obstacle

There is no rule preventing a foreign visitor from obtaining cannabis in Thailand. What changed in June 2025 is that everybody — Thai or foreign — now needs a prescription. The requirement is the same for a Bangkok resident and a tourist who landed this morning.

A prescription from home will not work

A medical cannabis card or prescription issued in another country has no legal standing in Thailand. It does not matter how legitimate it is where you live. You need a PT-33 (พ.ท.33) issued in Thailand by a practitioner licensed under Thai traditional medicine law.

Getting a prescription as a visitor

You consult a DTAM-licensed practitioner through a registered clinic platform. This is a real medical consultation, not a formality — the practitioner decides whether to issue one. Be wary of anyone offering to arrange a prescription over a chat app: that is explicitly prohibited, and a prescription obtained that way puts you and the shop at risk.

What to bring to the shop

Your passport and your valid PT-33. We verify the prescription and the issuing practitioner’s licence before any sale — that verification is our legal responsibility, so it happens every time, without exception.

Do not attempt to take it out of the country

Cannabis remains illegal in most countries in the region, and several impose severe penalties. A Thai prescription protects you in Thailand and nowhere else. Whatever you are prescribed, consume it here or leave it behind. This is the mistake that ruins holidays.

What you will not find on this site

No product list, no prices, no photographs of anything we sell. Thai law prohibits cannabis advertising in all forms, so we cannot publish those things and neither can any other compliant shop. If a website is openly listing what it sells, with prices attached, it is breaking the law — which tells you something about how carefully it handles everything else.
