There is a specific moment that happens to every single customer who walks out of our doors.
You have just purchased a premium jar of Lemon Cherry BX2. You have maybe smoked a pre-roll of Blue Dream on our terrace or in your hotel. You are feeling fantastic. The world is soft, the colors of Chiang Mai are vibrant, and your stress has evaporated into the humid air.
But then, about 20 minutes later, it happens. A rumble in the stomach. A heightened sense of smell that detects a wisp of charcoal smoke from three blocks away. A sudden, desperate realization: I need to eat, and I need to eat NOW.
This is the Munchies.
But here is the problem. When you are comfortably “medicated,” the idea of calling a Grab, waiting for traffic, or walking 2 kilometers to a fancy restaurant feels like a military expedition. You don’t want a journey. You want instant gratification. You want flavor. You want it cheap, fast, and delicious.
Welcome to the “Munchies Mile.”
At Haze Buds, we are strategically located in the heart of the action. We know that our job isn’t done when we sell you the cannabis; our job is to ensure your entire experience is perfect. And that means mapping out the culinary ecosystem that lives within a 5-minute lazy walking radius of our shop.
We have scouted the carts. We have tasted the skewers. We have timed the Roti makers. Here is your ultimate guide to the best street food you can get without ruining your buzz with a long walk.
Before we give you the map, let’s briefly validate what you are feeling. Why does a 10 Baht stick of pork suddenly taste like a Michelin-star meal?
It’s not just in your head; it’s biology. THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) interacts with the receptors in your brain’s olfactory bulb (the part that processes smell). It literally makes your sense of smell more acute. In Chiang Mai, where the air is thick with the scent of lemongrass, frying garlic, and grilled meat, this is a superpower.
Furthermore, THC stimulates the release of Ghrelin, the hormone that tells your body “I’m hungry,” while simultaneously releasing dopamine when you eat sweet or fatty foods. Thai street food—which is a masterclass in combining Fat, Sugar, Salt, and Spice—is chemically engineered to be the perfect partner for cannabis.
So, don’t feel guilty. Your body is primed for this. Let’s feed it.
Walking Time: 30 Seconds – 2 Minutes. The Craving: Salty, Meaty, Chewy.
The first smell that usually hits you when you step onto the Chiang Mai sidewalk is the smell of charcoal. Follow that smoke. It will lead you to the holy grail of Thai snacks: Moo Ping.
If you are new to Thailand, Moo Ping is grilled pork on a skewer. But it isn’t just “BBQ pork.” The meat is marinated overnight in coriander root, garlic, peppers, palm sugar, and oyster sauce. It is then often bathed in coconut milk while grilling. The result is a piece of meat that is caramelized and sticky on the outside, but tender and juicy on the inside.
What to Order:
Moo Ping (The Classic): Look for the skewers that look glossy. That gloss is the caramelized palm sugar.
Sai Oua (Northern Sausage): If you see a coiled sausage that looks herbal, get it. This is packed with lemongrass, kaffir lime, and galangal. It’s a flavor explosion that cuts through the “brain fog” of a heavy Indica.
Sticky Rice (Khao Niew): Critical Step. Do not just eat the meat. You must buy a small bag of sticky rice (usually 5-10 Baht).
The “High” Experience: Take a bite of the pork, then a small ball of sticky rice. The texture combination—the chew of the rice mixing with the fat of the pork—is sensory perfection. It is grounding. If you are feeling a little too high, this heavy, protein-rich snack will bring you back down to earth comfortably.
How to Order:
“Moo Ping Saam Mai” (3 Pork Skewers)
“Khao Niew Neung” (1 Sticky Rice)
Walking Time: 1 – 3 Minutes. The Craving: Sweet, Crunchy, Hot, Comforting.
If Moo Ping is the dinner, Roti is the show. You will usually find the Roti carts near the 7-Elevens or on the street corners. You will hear them before you see them—the sound of metal clapping against metal, the hiss of margarine, and the slap of dough.
Roti in Thailand is a Muslim-influenced pancake, fried in oil and butter/margarine. But when you are high, watching the Roti Lady (or Man) work is mesmerizing. They stretch the dough until it’s paper-thin, throw it on the griddle, fold it with surgical precision, and then—the best part—drench it in sweetened condensed milk.
Roti carts have huge menus. Don’t get overwhelmed. Here are the Haze Buds pairings:
1. The Classic (Egg and Banana)
Pair with: Gelato or Cookies and Cream strains.
Why: The warm, mushy sweetness of the banana inside the crispy dough matches the dessert-like terpenes of these strains. It’s warm comfort food.
2. The “Boom” (Plain Roti, extra crispy)
The Order: Ask for “Roti Krob” (Crispy). They smash it up into flakes.
Why: If you have the “munchies” for texture, this is like eating the best potato chip made of sugar.
3. The Savory Option (Mataba)
The Order: Stuffed with curry powder, chicken, and onions.
Why: If you skipped the meat skewers and want a full meal in a pancake.
Pro-Tip: Ask for “Nom Khon” (Condensed Milk) and sugar. Don’t worry about calories. Calories don’t count when you are on the Munchies Mile.
Walking Time: 2 – 4 Minutes. The Craving: Cold, Hydration, Vitamin C.
We talked about this in our Picnic Guide, but it bears repeating: Cotton Mouth is the enemy. Drinking plain water is fine. But drinking a fresh fruit shake on a hot Chiang Mai night? That is a religious experience.
The smoothie carts in the Old City are legendary. They usually have a mountain of fresh fruit stacked up in glass cabinets. Dragon fruit, mango, passion fruit, watermelon, lime.
We have tested every combination. Here is the winner for the post-smoke palate: Passion Fruit + Mango.
Why: Mango is rich in Myrcene, the same terpene found in many cannabis strains (like OG Kush). Some studies suggest eating mango can actually prolong or intensify the relaxed feeling of the high.
The Passion Fruit: The sourness (acidity) cuts through the dryness in your mouth and stimulates saliva production immediately. It wakes you up.
The “Sugar” Warning: Thai smoothie vendors love syrup. If you are health-conscious, you must say:
“Mai Sai Nam Tan” (No Sugar) – The fruit is usually sweet enough.
“Waan Noi” (Little Sweet) – If you want just a little kick.
Watching the ice get crushed in the blender is also weirdly satisfying when you are in a trance state.
Walking Time: 3 – 5 Minutes. The Craving: Slurpy, Hot Broth, Umami.
Sometimes, a snack isn’t enough. You need a bowl. Within a 5-minute radius of our shop, there will always be a noodle stall. Look for the steam rising from a giant metal pot and a glass display case with hanging meat balls or red pork.
Noodle soup (Kuay Teow) is the ultimate “stoner meal” because it is customizable. You get a bowl of hot broth (pork or beef base). You choose your noodles (wide, thin, or egg noodles). But the magic is the Condiment Caddy. On every table, you have:
Fish Sauce (Salty)
Sugar (Sweet)
Chili Vinegar (Sour)
Dried Chili Flakes (Spicy)
When you are high, playing “chef” and adjusting the broth until it perfectly matches your taste buds is an engaging activity. You can make it as spicy or as sour as you want. The hot broth also helps soothe the throat if you’ve been smoking heavily.
Walking Time: 1 Minute (They are everywhere). The Craving: Air Conditioning + The Toastie.
We cannot write a guide to Thai munchies without paying respect to the temple of convenience: 7-Eleven. Sometimes, the street is too hot. Sometimes, you just want to stand in the air conditioning for 5 minutes and stare at the colorful drinks.
While street food is superior in quality, 7-Eleven has the Toasted Sandwich.
The Ham & Cheese Croissant: It is processed. It is greasy. But when the staff puts it in the toaster press and hands it to you hot? It hits a spot that organic food cannot reach.
The Snacks: Seaweed strips, Lay’s chips in bizarre flavors (like “Boat Noodle” or “Salted Egg”), and the endless wall of refrigerated drinks.
Haze Buds Tip: If you are too high to interact with street vendors or speak Thai, 7-Eleven is your safe space. You just grab, pay, and leave. No conversation required.
Here is how you execute the perfect run from Haze Buds Old City:
Start: Haze Buds Dispensary. (Strain recommended: Lemon Cherry BX2 for appetite stimulation).
Minute 1: Turn left/right (depending on the specific exit). Look for the Moo Ping guy. Buy 3 sticks and 1 sticky rice. Eat while walking.
Minute 3: You will hit a main intersection or a 7-Eleven cluster. Find the Roti Cart. Order a Banana/Egg Roti. Wait for it to be made.
Minute 4: While holding the Roti, look for the Fruit Shake cart next door. Order a Mango/Passion Fruit frappe.
Minute 5: Loop back towards the shop or find a bench near the moat/gate.
The Result: You have savory, sweet, and hydration. You have spent less than 150 Baht. You have barely walked 500 meters.
Navigating the streets of Chiang Mai while “enhanced” requires a few safety protocols.
The Sidewalks: Chiang Mai sidewalks are… tricky. They have holes, uneven tiles, and random potted plants.
Rule: Lift your feet. Do not shuffle. Pay attention to the ground, not just the food smells.
The Motorbikes: Street food carts are often on the edge of the road. Motorbikes will zoom past you.
Rule: Stay tucked in near the cart. Do not step backward into traffic without looking.
The Transaction:
Rule: Have small cash ready (20s, 50s, 100s). Street vendors often struggle to change a 1,000 Baht note for a 10 Baht stick of pork. Do not be the person holding up the line while fumbling with big bills.
The Waste:
Rule: Thailand has a shortage of public trash cans. Do not throw your plastic skewers or Roti paper on the ground. Carry it back to the dispensary or find a bin at a 7-Eleven. Keep Chiang Mai clean.
To truly elevate your Munchies Mile, match your strain to your intended snack.
1. The “Sweet Tooth” Pair
Strain: Gelato or Runtz (Hybrid/Indica)
Food: Roti with Condensed Milk.
Why: These strains have creamy, dessert-like terpene profiles. They enhance the perception of sweetness.
2. The “Umami Hunter” Pair
Strain: OG Kush or GMO Cookies (Indica)
Food: Moo Ping (Grilled Pork) or Noodle Soup.
Why: Earthy, pungent, and savory strains make salty and meaty foods taste incredibly rich.
3. The “Fresh & Zesty” Pair
Strain: Super Lemon Haze or Tangerine Dream (Sativa)
Food: Mango Passion Fruit Smoothie or Som Tum (Papaya Salad).
Why: The citrus terpenes (Limonene) mirror the acidity in the fruit and salad, creating a refreshing, high-energy experience.
At Haze Buds, we believe that the best cannabis experience is a holistic one. It’s not just about the high; it’s about what you do with it.
The “Munchies Mile” is our gift to you. It is the realization that you don’t need to overcomplicate your evening. You don’t need a reservation. You don’t need a taxi. All you need is a good joint, a 100 Baht bill, and a pair of walking shoes.
The best food in the world is sizzling on a grill right outside our door. Go find it.
