Happy 4/20, Bangkok. 

 

Short of a proper spliff, celebrate the occasion with the next best thing at a new cafe dedicated to marijuana opening today just off Sukhumvit Road. 

 

The latest in an exploding number of venues adding cannabis to the mix, GTG Cafe is tucked inside a house on Sukhumvit Soi 36, serving caffeinated items and desserts infused with CBD.

 

Behind the cafe is hemp and weed firm Golden Triangle Group, which has partnered with a Thai university to grow high-quality hemp for use in medical, cosmetic, and F&B products. The firm has begun successfully cultivating a variety called Raksa, which averages 16 percent CBD, a high level of the extract being marketed as a wellness panacea.

 

Among the cafe’s beverages are Cannatonic Iced Tea (B110), Cannatonic Iced Milk Tea (B150), and Cannabutter Hot Milk Coffee (B150), while a baked dish to go with it includes Cannabutter Brownie served alongside cannabis terpene whipped cream (B100) or a croissant smeared with cannabis-infused butter (B90). Frozen desserts are on the menu, too: OG Kush Dark Choc Fudge Brownie Ice Cream (B120) and refreshing cup of Passionfruit Pineapple Express Sorbet (B120).

 

The joint also has products for to-go, such as a jar of GTG Cannabutter (B150). 

 

GTG Cafe is located on Sukhumvit Soi 36, reachable from BTS Thonglor.
