Cannabis in Krabi 2026 — Dispensaries, Clinics & Medical Access

Krabi province on Thailand’s Andaman coast has established a solid cannabis market driven by its popularity as a beach and rock-climbing destination. With approximately 80 dispensaries spread across Ao Nang, Krabi Town, and the broader coastal area, visitors have plenty of options. The market here is almost entirely tourism-focused, peaking during the high season from November through April when the weather is dry and visitors flock to the stunning limestone karst scenery and islands.

Since the June 2025 regulatory changes, Krabi’s 8 clinics have adapted to serve the PT 33 prescription needs of visitors efficiently. Most clinics are located in Ao Nang and Krabi Town, with some dispensaries in Ao Nang offering referral services to help visitors navigate the process quickly. The relatively small number of clinics means that planning ahead is advisable during peak season.

Krabi offers a more laid-back cannabis experience than Phuket, its larger neighbor across Phang Nga Bay. Prices tend to be somewhat lower, and the overall atmosphere is more relaxed. The area attracts adventure travelers, climbers, and nature lovers, and the cannabis scene reflects this active, outdoor-oriented clientele.

Getting a PT 33 Prescription in Krabi

The province has 8 clinics offering PT 33 consultations, split between Ao Nang (5 clinics) and Krabi Town (3 clinics). Ao Nang clinics are most convenient for beach-area tourists and typically have English-speaking staff. Krabi Town clinics offer slightly lower consultation fees and less crowded conditions. If you are arriving at Krabi Airport, there is no clinic at the airport itself, so plan to visit a clinic once you reach your accommodation area. Consultation fees range from 350-700 THB.

Top Areas for Cannabis in Krabi

• Ao Nang — The main tourist beach strip has the highest concentration of dispensaries in Krabi. Shops line the beachfront road and the surrounding sois, with options ranging from budget to premium.
• Krabi Town — The provincial capital has a smaller but more affordable selection of dispensaries. The night market area and riverside walkway have several well-regarded shops.
• Railay — This iconic climbing beach, accessible only by boat, has a handful of dispensaries. Selection is limited and prices are higher, but the setting is unbeatable. Stock up in Ao Nang before heading over if variety and value matter to you.
• Klong Muang / Tubkaek — The quieter beaches north of Ao Nang have a few dispensaries serving the upscale resort crowd.

What to Know Before You Visit

• Railay Beach has very limited dispensary options and no clinic. Get your PT 33 prescription and make your purchases in Ao Nang before taking the longtail boat over.
• During the low season (May-October), some dispensaries in Krabi reduce their hours or close temporarily. Check availability if visiting during this period.
• Krabi is a great base for island-hopping to Koh Phi Phi, Koh Lanta, and the Hong Islands. Your PT 33 prescription is valid on these islands, but dispensary options are very limited on smaller islands — purchase what you need in Ao Nang or Krabi Town first.
