This topic is a directory of licensed cannabis shops in Thailand. Each shop gets its own sub-board, which is a small section of the forum under this topic. Staff who work at the shop use it to post opening information and answer general questions.
The directory is not a sales channel. You cannot order, reserve or arrange delivery of cannabis through it.
Thai law decides what a shop may post
Forum preference does not set the posting rules for shops. Thai law does.
Cannabis flower is a controlled herb. Anyone may use a controlled herb, but researching, exporting, selling or processing it needs a licence. The rule comes from the Notification of the Ministry of Public Health Re: Controlled Herbs (Cannabis), B.E. 2568. B.E. stands for Buddhist Era, the Thai calendar. B.E. 2568 is 2025.
The notification was published on 25 June 2025 and has been in force since 26 June 2025. It has two bans that matter here:
- Advertising cannabis flower is prohibited.
- Selling cannabis flower online is prohibited.
These bans decide what a shop can post on its board. The table below sets it out.
| A shop board may show | A shop board may not show |
|---|---|
| Who the shop is: name and licence holder | Prices |
| Where it is: address and how to get there | Promotions, discounts or giveaways |
| How it operates: opening hours and dates, what customers must bring | Strain menus |
| Answers to general questions | Stock announcements (“new batch in”, “back in stock”) |
Translator’s note: Under the same notification, a shop may sell flower only against a PT 33 (ภ.ท.33) prescription. A PT 33 covers at most 30 days. The fact that a customer needs a PT 33 counts as “how the shop operates”, so a shop may state it on its board. Showing the prescription requirement up front also saves wasted trips for visitors who do not have one.
Translator’s note: The members-only boards for shops, farms and clinics are the one place on the forum where members may talk about their own business. Thai law still applies there. Flower advertising and online sales stay banned, even on a shop’s own board.
What to do: Before posting on a shop board, check each line against the right-hand column of the table. Delete any line that names a price, a deal, a strain on offer or new stock.
Only licensed shops are listed
The directory lists only shops that hold a valid licence. The licence is the basis on which the forum gives a shop its sub-board.
Translator’s note: The licence a shop needs is a licence to sell a controlled herb, issued under Section 46 of the Thai Traditional Medicine Protection Act B.E. 2542 (1999). Selling without this licence carries a penalty under Section 78 of that Act of up to 1 year in prison, a fine of up to 20,000 baht, or both. The Ministerial Regulation on Controlled Herbs (No. 2) B.E. 2569 took effect on 30 April 2026 and tightens the criteria for flower licences. For which licence covers which activity, see Licensing and Compliance in Thailand.
Translator’s note: A licence can be suspended for up to 90 days per order (Section 52) or revoked (Section 54). After a revocation, the person cannot get a new licence under the Act for two years. After those two years, granting a new licence is at the licensor’s discretion. The same two-year ban applies to a company and to its directors, managers and other responsible persons. The full penalty map is in Licence Suspension and Revocation in Thailand. The shop board depends on the licence. A board whose licence has expired, been suspended or been revoked therefore loses its basis.
What to do: If you run a shop, put your licence expiry date in your calendar. Renew before it lapses so that both the shop and its board stay valid.
Product claims: one certificate covers one batch, and no medical claims
Product claims on shop boards meet the same standard as everywhere else on the forum. Two points matter most.
First, a laboratory certificate, also called a certificate of analysis, belongs to one batch. A batch is a single lot of flower that was harvested and processed together. A test result for one batch tells you nothing about the next batch, or about the strain in general. So if a certificate comes up in a discussion, show the batch number and test date with it. Do not present it as proof for later stock or for the whole strain.
Second, nothing on a shop board should read as a medical claim. A medical claim is any statement that a product treats, cures or prevents an illness or symptom. “This strain helps with insomnia” is a medical claim. Medical questions go to a licensed practitioner, because only a practitioner can issue the PT 33.
What to do: When you answer a customer question, reword any sentence that links a product to a disease or symptom. If you mention a test result, give the batch number and test date in the same sentence.
How a shop applies for its own board
The steps are:
- Check that your licence is valid and covers selling cannabis flower.
- Read How to Promote Your Cannabis Shop in Thailand Without Losing Your Licence, so you know the limits before you write anything.
- Send a request to the forum administrators with a copy of your licence. Cover ID card numbers and other personal details on the copy before you send it.
- An administrator checks the licence, creates your sub-board and gives your account moderator rights on it.
- Write your first post from the left-hand column of the table above: who you are, where you are and how you operate.
Steps 1 and 3 give the administrators what they need to grant the board. Step 2 keeps the board itself from putting your licence at risk.
How to ask a question
- About a particular shop (opening hours, what to bring, how a visit works): post in that shop’s sub-board. Its staff answer there.
- About the Thai rules on buying flower: read the PT 33 guide first. If you are visiting from abroad, also read What Visitors to Thailand Need to Know About Cannabis.
- About choosing a shop: use the checklist in How to Evaluate a Cannabis Shop in Thailand.
- About how this directory works: post a reply under this topic.
