Cannabis in Koh Chang 2026 — Dispensaries & Island Guide

Koh Chang is Thailand’s second-largest island, a mountainous, jungle-covered landmass in the Gulf of Thailand near the Cambodian border. Part of Mu Ko Chang National Park, the island rises steeply from white-sand beaches to peaks over 700 meters high, covered in dense tropical rainforest. With a permanent population of only around 8,000, Koh Chang has a quieter, more rugged character than the southern Gulf islands.

As of March 2026, Koh Chang has 22 cannabis dispensaries, no clinics, and no farms. The market is compact but dominated by a few strong operators — most notably 7th Heaven Cannabis, which runs three locations and has accumulated over 1,800 Google reviews combined. For an island this small, 22 dispensaries means you will never be far from a shop along the main west coast road.

Best Cannabis Dispensaries in Koh Chang

The dispensary scene on Koh Chang punches above the island’s weight. Several shops maintain perfect 5-star ratings with hundreds of reviews, reflecting the high standards set by repeat visitors and competition among a small number of operators.

7th Heaven Cannabis is the island’s standout — and one of the highest-rated dispensaries in all of Thailand. With 1,152 Google reviews and a perfect 5.0-star rating, the original location has built a reputation for quality flower, knowledgeable staff, and a welcoming atmosphere. 7th Heaven operates three locations across the island, making it the dominant cannabis brand on Koh Chang.

Thai Cannabis Club White Sand Beach brings a well-known chain presence to the island’s busiest tourist beach. With 245 reviews at 4.9 stars, it offers the consistency and product range you would expect from a multi-location brand.

Stone Face Cannabis (103 reviews, 5.0 stars), Cannabis and Coffee Shop (66 reviews, 4.9 stars), and Sunflower Cannabis Shop (63 reviews, 5.0 stars) are strong independent options with loyal followings.

Shiva Hut Cannabis (49 reviews, 4.9 stars) rounds out the top tier with a relaxed vibe popular among longer-stay visitors.

Chain Operations on Koh Chang

7th Heaven Cannabis (3 Locations)

7th Heaven is the defining cannabis brand on Koh Chang. With three locations and over 1,800 combined Google reviews, no other operator comes close in terms of visibility or reputation:

• 7th Heaven Cannabis — 1,152 reviews, 5.0 stars (original location)
• 7th Heaven Cannabis 2 — 430 reviews, 5.0 stars
• 7th Heaven Cannabis 3 — 231 reviews, 5.0 stars

All three locations maintain perfect ratings, which is remarkable given the combined review volume. If you are visiting Koh Chang for the first time and want a safe bet, 7th Heaven is the obvious choice.

Jungle Garden (3 Locations)

Jungle Garden operates three branches spread across the island’s west coast — in Bailan, Klong Prao, and Lonely Beach. This gives them coverage across the island’s main tourist zones, from the mid-island family area to the backpacker south.

Thai Cannabis Club

Thai Cannabis Club White Sand Beach is part of a larger chain with locations elsewhere in Thailand. Their Koh Chang branch on White Sand Beach benefits from the brand’s established supply chain and product standards.

Budget Options

Koh Chang is not the cheapest destination for cannabis in Thailand — island logistics and a small market mean prices tend to run higher than mainland cities like Korat or even Pattaya. However, competition among the 22 dispensaries keeps pricing reasonable compared to other islands. Your best value will generally be found at the independent shops away from White Sand Beach, particularly in the Lonely Beach and Bailan areas where the backpacker crowd keeps operators honest on pricing.

Top Areas for Cannabis in Koh Chang

• White Sand Beach (Hat Sai Khao) — The island’s most developed beach with the highest concentration of hotels, restaurants, and dispensaries. Thai Cannabis Club White Sand Beach is the anchor here. This is the most convenient area for first-time visitors.
• Klong Prao — The mid-island beach area with a quieter, more family-friendly atmosphere. Jungle Garden has a branch here, and several independent dispensaries operate along the main road.
• Kai Bae — A smaller beach between Klong Prao and Lonely Beach with a handful of dispensaries. Good sunsets and a relaxed atmosphere make this a pleasant area to shop and unwind.
• Lonely Beach (Hat Tha Nam) — The traditional backpacker hub on Koh Chang’s west coast. Dispensaries here cater to budget travelers, and the late-night bar scene means shops tend to stay open later. Jungle Garden has a location here.
• Bailan — A quieter stretch south of Lonely Beach with Jungle Garden’s third location and a few independent shops. Popular with longer-stay visitors who prefer a less crowded setting.
• Bang Bao — The fishing village at the island’s southern tip, built on stilts over the water. A few dispensaries have opened here to serve day-trippers visiting the pier area. Limited options but worth checking if you are heading south for snorkeling or diving trips.

Cannabis Farms Near Koh Chang

There are currently no cannabis farms operating on Koh Chang. The island’s status as a national park and its mountainous terrain limit agricultural activity. All cannabis sold on the island is imported from the mainland — primarily from eastern Thailand and Bangkok suppliers.

Getting a PT 33 Prescription

Koh Chang has no cannabis clinics as of March 2026. This is the island’s biggest gap in cannabis infrastructure. To obtain a PT 33 prescription, you have three practical options:

• Get your prescription before arriving — Pattaya (approximately 4–5 hours away by car and ferry) has around 50 clinics. Bangkok has even more. If you are passing through either city, stop at a clinic first.
• Trat town — The provincial capital on the mainland, about 30 minutes from the ferry pier, may have clinic options. Check before crossing to the island.
• Telehealth — Some dispensaries on Koh Chang can arrange remote consultations with licensed physicians. Ask at the shop.

Your PT 33 prescription is valid nationwide, so a prescription obtained anywhere in Thailand works on Koh Chang.

Koh Chang Cannabis Prices (March 2026)

Grade	Price Range (THB/gram)	Notes
Budget	80–150	Basic strains, available at independent shops
Mid-range	150–300	Quality hybrid and imported strains
Premium	300–500	Top-shelf exotics at shops like 7th Heaven
Pre-rolls	100–250	Single joints, widely available

Island prices run 10–20% higher than mainland cities due to transport costs. Premium products at top-rated shops like 7th Heaven command higher prices but are backed by consistently strong reviews.

How to Get to Koh Chang

• By car from Bangkok — Drive east on Highway 3 (Sukhumvit Road) through Chonburi, Rayong, and Chanthaburi to Trat, then take the ferry from Ao Thammachat or Centerpoint pier. Total journey is approximately 5 hours including the 30-minute ferry crossing.
• By bus — Buses depart from Bangkok’s Eastern Bus Terminal (Ekkamai) and Mo Chit to Trat. The journey takes 5–6 hours. From Trat bus station, songthaews run to the ferry piers. Budget options from around 300 THB.
• By air — Bangkok Airways operates flights from Suvarnabhumi to Trat Airport (TDX). Flight time is about one hour. From Trat Airport, minivans connect to the ferry pier (approximately 30 minutes). This is the fastest but most expensive option.
• Ferry — Ferries from the mainland to Koh Chang run frequently during the day (roughly every 30–45 minutes from 6 AM to 7 PM). The crossing takes about 30 minutes. Car ferries are available if you are driving.

What to Know Before You Visit

• Steep hills — Koh Chang’s interior roads are notoriously steep and winding. If you rent a motorbike, exercise extreme caution — the island has a high accident rate among tourists. Never ride under the influence of cannabis.
• Rainy season — May through October brings heavy rain and rough seas. Some dispensaries and businesses close or reduce hours during low season (particularly June–September). Ferry services may be disrupted during storms.
• National park fees — Mu Ko Chang National Park charges an entrance fee (typically 200 THB for foreigners) for certain beaches and waterfalls. Cannabis consumption is prohibited within national park boundaries.
• Limited nightlife — Unlike Koh Phangan or Pattaya, Koh Chang’s nightlife is subdued. Most dispensaries close by midnight, with some exceptions in Lonely Beach.
• Cash preferred — While card payments are increasingly accepted at larger shops, smaller dispensaries on Koh Chang may be cash-only. ATMs are available at White Sand Beach and Klong Prao but can be scarce further south.
