Travel is the ultimate fountain of youth. It keeps the mind sharp, the spirit young, and the heart full.
But let’s be honest: Travel can be hard on the body.
Chiang Mai is a dream destination for senior travelers. The culture is respectful, the food is incredible, and the scenery is unmatched. However, the reality of exploring this city involves physical challenges. The uneven sidewalks of the Old City. The steep stairs up to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. The long hours sitting in a van to Chiang Rai.
For a traveler in their 60s, 70s, or 80s, these activities can trigger old enemies: Arthritis, Joint Stiffness, Inflammation, and Insomnia.
You didn’t fly halfway around the world to sit in a hotel room nursing a sore knee. You came here to explore.
At HazeBuds Cannabis Dispensary, we have seen a massive shift in our demographics. We aren’t just serving backpackers anymore. Every day, we welcome sophisticated senior travelers who are looking for natural, non-addictive alternatives to painkillers. They are looking for CBD.
“Travel pain-free. See our recommendations for seniors.”
If you are worried about “getting high,” let us put your mind at ease immediately. The products listed below are non-intoxicating. They are designed for wellness, mobility, and relief. They won’t alter your mind; they will simply help your body keep up with your adventurous spirit.
Here are the top 5 CBD products we recommend for senior travelers looking to manage pain and maximize their Chiang Mai experience.
Before we list the products, we want to address the elephant in the room. “Is this legal? Is it safe?”
1. Legality: In Thailand, CBD products containing less than 0.2% THC are fully legal for wellness use. You do not need a prescription to buy them at a licensed dispensary like HazeBuds.
2. Safety: All products at HazeBuds are lab-tested (with Certificates of Analysis). We verify that they are free from heavy metals and pesticides.
3. No “High”: The products in this guide are CBD-dominant. They do not produce a psychoactive “high.” You can use them and still feel completely clear-headed to negotiate prices at the Night Bazaar or discuss history with a monk.
Best For: Targeted relief for knees, hands, and lower back.
If you only buy one item, make it this one. Walking around Chiang Mai’s temples requires taking your shoes off and on constantly, climbing steps, and walking on hard tiles. This flares up osteoarthritis in the knees and ankles.
Why it works: Bloom CBD Balm is a topical. It doesn’t enter your bloodstream. When you rub it on a sore joint, the CBD binds to the receptors in that specific area to reduce inflammation locally.
The Formula: Bloom blends premium CBD with traditional Thai herbs like Plai (a ginger root famous for reducing swelling) and Turmeric. It also contains menthol for an immediate cooling sensation that distracts the nerves from pain.
How to use it:
Morning: Apply to your knees and lower back before you leave the hotel. It acts as a preventative shield against inflammation.
Evening: Rub it into your feet after a long day of walking to prevent cramping.
Best For: Systemic inflammation and general stiffness.
While a balm treats a specific spot, an oil treats the whole body. If you wake up feeling “stiff all over”—a common complaint with rheumatoid arthritis or just general aging—you need systemic relief.
Why it works: Diip Daily Oil is taken sublingually (under the tongue). It enters your system and acts as a natural anti-inflammatory agent for your entire body. Think of it like a natural alternative to Ibuprofen, but gentler on your stomach.
The Dose: We recommend the Mild Strength (500mg) for seniors. It allows you to find your “sweet spot” without taking too much.
How to use it: Take 0.5ml (half a dropper) every morning with breakfast. Consistency is key. By day 3 of your trip, you will notice that getting out of the van or the tuk-tuk feels significantly easier.
Best For: Jet lag and staying asleep.
Travel disrupts sleep. For seniors, who often already struggle with fragmented sleep, crossing time zones can be brutal. You might fall asleep fine, but then wake up at 2:00 AM with aches and pains, unable to go back to sleep.
Why it works: Diip Night Capsules are formulated with a triad of restorative ingredients:
CBD: To relax the body.
Chamomile: To soothe the nervous system.
L-Glutamine: An amino acid that aids in cellular repair and recovery while you sleep.
Unlike sleeping pills (which can increase fall risk due to grogginess), these capsules promote a natural sleep cycle. You wake up feeling refreshed, not “hungover.”
How to use it: Take one capsule 45 minutes before bed. It provides a slow-release effect that helps keep you asleep through the night.
Best For: Travel anxiety and blood pressure management.
Travel can be stressful. Navigating a busy airport, worrying about missing a connection, or dealing with the chaotic traffic of Chiang Mai can spike your blood pressure and cortisol levels.
Why it works: Bloom Softgels are easy to swallow, tasteless, and discreet. They look just like a fish oil supplement or a vitamin. CBD is a known Anxiolytic (anti-anxiety). It calms the “Fight or Flight” response. Taking a softgel creates a subtle buffer against stress. The traffic noise won’t bother you as much. The crowds at the Sunday Walking Street won’t feel as overwhelming.
How to use it: Take one softgel in the morning, or keep them in your bag for moments when you feel overwhelmed. Because they are pre-measured (usually 10mg or 25mg), you never have to worry about dosing with a dropper in public.
Best For: A gentle afternoon pick-me-up.
Sometimes, you just feel tired. The heat of Thailand can zap your energy. You don’t need caffeine (which can make you jittery or affect your heart rate). You need a gentle reset.
Why it works: Diip Gummies are formulated with natural fruit terpenes that can be uplifting. The act of chewing something sweet releases a small amount of dopamine. The CBD helps settle any nausea from trying new spicy foods and gives you a “second wind” to enjoy your evening dinner cruise or cultural show.
How to use it: Eat one gummy after lunch. It helps digestion and keeps your mood bright for the afternoon activities.
We always advise our senior customers to be responsible. CBD is generally safe, but it is metabolized by the liver (specifically the CYP450 enzyme pathway)—the same pathway used by many prescription medications like blood thinners (Warfarin) or heart medications.
The Grapefruit Rule: If your doctor has told you not to eat grapefruit with your medication, you should be cautious with oral CBD (Oils/Capsules).
The Workaround: In this case, stick to Topical Balms (Product #1). Topicals do not enter the bloodstream and will not interact with your heart or blood pressure medication. They are 100% safe to use alongside prescriptions.
We know that walking into a “Cannabis Dispensary” can feel intimidating if you grew up in an era where this plant was strictly illegal.
We want to welcome you.
Our Atmosphere: HazeBuds is clean, well-lit, and professional. It feels like a pharmacy or a high-end tea shop, not a dark club.
Our Staff: Our budtenders are trained to listen. Tell them, “I am looking for pain relief for my knees” or “I need help sleeping.” They will not try to sell you a bong or a high-THC joint. They will lead you straight to the wellness section.
Our Locations:
Old City: Perfect if you are staying near the temples.
Sridonchai: Near the Anantara and Marriott hotels, easily accessible by car.
Chiang Mai Gate: Near the Saturday Walking Street.
You have earned this trip. You deserve to climb the temple steps. You deserve to walk through the night markets. You deserve to wake up feeling rested and ready.
Don’t let arthritis or stiffness shrink your world. Nature has provided a solution that is gentle, effective, and legal.
