Turning a new leaf
Guru, Suthivas Tanphaibul, Published on 24/06/2022
» To all Thais, now you can proudly brag that we're the first Asian country to legalise marijuana. The new milestone was marked on June 9, 2022, when growing and trading cannabis were no longer a crime in Thailand. Smoking gets a green light too, but puffing a joint in public is still prohibited. With a newfangled marijuana business popping up around the city, we list dispensaries in Bangkok for those who are curious. We also asked the weedness-owners about their backgrounds and basics for begin-stoners.

They demonstrate that embracing historical beauty along with modern innovation produces fascinating and profitable results, with the reassurance that architecturally significant homes are being kept alive. Over the recent years, such places have been popping up more and we hope they continue to. Guru has scoped out some of Bangkok's most admirable, century-old homes to discover the stories behind them.
