6 CBD-Friendly Cafes and Restaurants to try in Bangkok


Cannabis culture in the city is at an all-time high

Following recent changes to cannabis laws in Thailand, cafes and restaurants across the country are now becoming weed-friendly, serving drinks and dishes that are cannabis-infused. However, it’s important to note that recreational use of THC products is still very much illegal, and smoking ganja still leads to jail time. To comply with the new regulations, these cannabis-infused dishes won’t get you high—they contain less than 0.2% of THC (or tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component that causes the high. The other component of cannabis is cannabidiol or CBD, which offers medicinal properties to treat everything from inflammation and illness to depression and anxiety. 

That being said, it’s true that Thailand has become the first country in the Asian region to decriminalize the plant. So if you’re up to exploring CBD food and drinks—from hemp-flavored desserts to cannabis-infused Thai dishes—here are a few pot-friendly places you can enjoy in town:
