Recreational use of cannabis is no longer fully unrestricted. Consumers may now need to show a medical certificate or prescription to purchase certain cannabis products, especially high-THC strains.
Only shops with official government licenses can legally sell cannabis. This measure is aimed at shutting down unregistered street vendors and ensuring quality control.
The minimum legal age remains 20 years old for buying and consuming cannabis. Businesses selling to underage customers risk heavy fines and losing their license.
Public consumption continues to be prohibited. Using cannabis in public spaces such as beaches, streets, or parks can result in penalties. Consumption is limited to private residences and licensed venues.
For tourists and expats in Thailand, the new regulations mean that cannabis is still accessible, but only through legal channels. Visitors should be cautious and always buy from licensed dispensaries. Carrying or consuming cannabis in restricted areas may lead to fines or even legal issues.

While these new rules may seem restrictive compared to the early days of legalisation, they are part of Thailand’s effort to build a sustainable and responsible cannabis industry. The focus is shifting towards medical use, wellness products, and regulated recreational experiences.
