How much does weed cost in Thailand? It’s one of the first questions visitors ask, and the answer has changed a lot since 2022. Prices vary by quality, growing method and shop, and the rules on who can buy have tightened. This guide explains typical price ranges in Chiang Mai, what pushes prices up or down and how to plan your budget, in plain English.
Prices in Chiang Mai shops generally fall into a few broad bands. These are typical ranges we see across the city in 2026, not fixed prices:
| Quality level | Typical price per gram | What it usually means |
|---|---|---|
| Outdoor or greenhouse | Around ฿100 to ฿200 | Grown in natural light; good value and widely available |
| Mid-range indoor | Around ฿200 to ฿300 | Grown indoors under controlled conditions |
| Premium indoor | Around ฿300 to ฿450 | Carefully grown and cured, with strong presentation |
| Top shelf or rare strains | ฿500 and up | Limited batches, special genetics or imported-style products |
Many shops offer a lower price per gram when you buy a larger amount, for example 5 or 10 grams. Ask staff how pricing works before you choose.
Two products that look similar can be priced very differently. The main reasons are:
Our guide to how to read cannabis product labels in Thailand explains what the information on the packaging means.
Yes. Since mid-2025, licensed cannabis shops can only sell flower to customers with a valid medical prescription or certificate from an authorised practitioner. Shops must also check that customers are 20 or older, so bring your passport.
Consultation fees vary from clinic to clinic, so add that cost to your budget. Our step-by-step guide to getting a medical cannabis prescription in Chiang Mai explains the process. For the wider legal picture, read our Thailand cannabis laws 2026 guide for tourists.
Cash in Thai baht is the simplest option. Many shops accept cash only, and some may accept Thai QR payments or cards. ATMs are easy to find in Chiang Mai, but foreign cards usually pay a withdrawal fee at Thai ATMs, so it’s often cheaper to take out larger amounts less often.
A little planning avoids surprises. Before you visit a shop:

Usually not. Very low prices from street sellers or unlicensed stalls can mean poor quality, unknown origin or products that don’t meet Thai rules. Buying from an unlicensed seller also puts you at legal risk. Stick to licensed shops where you can see the licence, ask questions and get a receipt.
The price isn’t the only cost to think about. Fines and penalties can be far more expensive:
In Chiang Mai, a gram of cannabis flower typically costs around ฿100 to ฿600 in 2026. Outdoor flower is usually cheaper, while premium indoor and rare strains cost more.
Prices are often a little lower in Chiang Mai than in the busiest tourist areas of Bangkok and Phuket, but they vary by shop and quality everywhere.
Adults aged 20 and over can buy from licensed shops with a valid medical prescription and ID. Rules can change, so check official sources before you travel.
Some do, but many prefer cash. Bring Thai baht to be safe, and ask the shop which payment options it accepts.
