    However, the sale of cannabis for medical purposes remains permitted if prescribed by licensed medical practitioners. These include medical professionals as defined by the Medical Profession Act, Thai traditional medicine practitioners, integrated Thai traditional medicine practitioners, and folk doctors under the Thai Traditional Medicine Profession Act, Chinese medicine practitioners under the Medical Profession Act, pharmacists under the Pharmacy Profession Act, and dentists under the Dentistry Profession Act.

    Seems like a prescription should be easy enough to get.

    Weed shop with in-house folk doctor sounds like a decent solution.

          The final straw appears to have been pressure from the UK, which has seen a flood of Thai marijuana being smuggled into the country.

            so many tourists are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met, but, taken in aggregate, everyone is trash. in any population large and wealthy enough to travel recreationally, there’s gonna be a bucket of assholes who ruin it for everyone else.

            search for your country of choice and you’ll almost certainly find some prick who acted like a prick on holiday.

    Dang. Marijuana Tourism to Thailand would have been really cool. Especially compared to the other reasons people flock there. What a shame.

      right? take me to the home of the thai stick… seems like a preferable way to source tourist dollars than the sex trade.
