9 must try dispensaries for the discerning stoner in Bangkok
Good bud to hangout spaces.
Weed is legal in Thailand (for now), and the places to get it are getting more customer-friendly by the day. Try these spaces for your grow-up glow-up and to find an honest-to-goodness weed community.
Area(s): Thonglor, Nana, Khlong Toei, Silom, Asoke, Pra Khanong, Phrom Phong, Koh Chang, Pattaya, Khao San Rd.
Why you should go: If you have been anywhere in Bangkok after the legalization of marijuana in 2022, then you have more than likely seen Thai Cannabis Club’s big green and white logo around town. This pioneering dispensary chain is the most visible in the market and for good reason. The extensive list of indoor strains Thai Cannabis Club has on offer is setting the standard for other dispensaries around Thailand trying to keep up with their sheer quality and variety. Today Thai Cannabis Club is the place to go to and the most recognised brand of cannabis and CBD products in Thailand. From the CBD dragon balm to inhalers to FDA approved craft real fruit sodas not forgetting their highly sought after Belgium chocolates and gummies that always sell out fast. But keeping up with demand as well as the high quality really does just go to prove how they are consistently setting the standard.

Why you should go: You will find these sleek, brass-outlined dispensaries all over town—11 locations total from Thonglor and Sukhumvhit to the riverside—and they do more than act as cannabis hubs. Pakalolo mashes some of the city’s favorite vices together: cafe vibes, craft beer, and cannabis. They boast lab-tested flowers and closely collaborate with local farmers to make sure quality and safety standards are met. Similarly with craft beer, the line-up is filled with top-notch Thai brands sourced directly from local suppliers, farms and communities. The spaces even double as co-working areas if you are looking for a place to chill during the workday—just don’t tell the boss what you are up to.

Why you should go: Boasting over 150 strains from budget to premium, a chill lounge, and regular music events, Choo Choo Hemp is arguably the very best hemp shop in and around the Sukhumvit 49 area. The spot is a known hang out for experienced smokers throughout the Thonglor area, often packing the tables and couches in the chill lounge to check out DJs, live performances, or just hang out. In addition to the long list of strains, Choo Choo Hemp will also whip up some custom baked goods for you, like birthday cakes with stoner-y messages on them (these can get as big as 1.3kg) and homemade chocolates (including vegan-friendly options).

Why you should go: With a California-born brand that wanted to become the “Apple Store of Cannabis,” MedMen is a pioneer in cannabis retail, and now they are creating a space that works with locally grown products and hospitality. Sukhumvit’s MedMen prides itself on being a cannabis marketplace of sorts—not just a spot to score premium strains but a place for people to seek education on the local growing scene, delivery methods, and what product might be the right fit for you. Their non-cannabis products often come by way of collaborations with local brands, including balms, gummies, rollers, lighters, flasks and trays. This is also a dispensary that offers high quality products at a price you know is good value.
33/1, Sukhumvit Soi 11, 082-492-9899. Open daily 11am-3am

In addition to high-end buds and a wide range of cannabis products, this brand has a cool rooftop hang near Asoke called High Garden. It’s 4/20 friendly (obviously), but it’s also a fun place to grab a lychee martini and enjoy the vibes and neon design. Catch this space for a little OG Kush and Sour Diesel, but don’t miss out on the DJ tunes and vibes. The space is also known for hosting a few visiting budtenders.

Having a wide variety of buds isn’t good enough anymore—so No Man’s Land made a shop that’s just as good for hanging out and gilling with some video and board games as it is for buying some weed. If you’ve had your fill, there’s also a “lay down” corner to vibe and a creative corner for when the feels hit. Live music plays every Friday night, and there’s food and drink on offer to pair with live sports on the TVs and a VIP zone on the 4th floor

It’s a massive superbrand you won’t have missed. The Dispensary’s chic Sukhumvit shop near the Phrom Phong BTS station has a “Hall of Flowers,” a grow room, and a wide selection unique from Taratera—which has been at the forefront of Thailand’s weed culture before decriminalization. From the outside, it looks more like an Apple Store than a weed shop. There are a lot of options for your weed buying these days in Bangkok, and this is the one that takes a grower/laboratory approach for connoisseurs and recreational users alike.
