Cannabis in Surat Thani 2026 — 54 Dispensaries, Farms & Medical Clinics

Surat Thani is the provincial capital and primary transport hub of Thailand’s upper southern coast. With a population of around 130,000, the city serves as the mainland gateway to the Gulf islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. While most travelers pass through quickly on their way to the ferries, those who stop will find a cannabis scene with 54 dispensaries, 6 farms, and 1 medical clinic — all operating at mainland Thai prices that are significantly lower than the island markup waiting on the other side of the water.

The city’s cannabis market is driven primarily by local Thai demand rather than tourism, which means shops prioritize value and quality over flashy storefronts. Since the June 2025 re-regulation requiring PT 33 prescriptions, Surat Thani’s dispensaries have adapted to the medical framework. The one registered clinic in the city — Surat Thani Hospital — handles PT 33 consultations, so travelers heading to the islands should consider getting their prescription sorted on the mainland before boarding the ferry.

Surat Thani also benefits from its position in a fertile agricultural province. Six cannabis farms operate in the surrounding area, offering farm-direct flower at prices that undercut both mainland dispensaries and island shops by a wide margin.

Why Surat Thani for Cannabis

• Mainland pricing — Flower runs 30-50% cheaper here than on Koh Samui or Koh Phangan, where island logistics and tourist demand drive prices up
• Farm-direct access — Six cannabis farms in the province sell direct to customers, offering the freshest product at the lowest prices in the region
• PT 33 before the ferry — Get your prescription at Surat Thani Hospital before crossing to the islands, where clinic availability is more limited
• Local Thai market — Dispensaries here cater to Thai customers, meaning quality standards are high and prices are fair without tourist markups
• Stock up point — Experienced travelers buy on the mainland and carry their purchased cannabis (with valid PT 33) to the islands
• Province-wide spread — Shops are distributed across the city, Phunphin (near the train station), Kanchanadit, Chaiya, and Don Sak (near the ferry pier)

Getting a PT 33 Prescription in Surat Thani

Surat Thani has one registered medical cannabis clinic:

• Surat Thani Hospital — The provincial government hospital at 54 Sri Wichai Road. Medical cannabis prescriptions are available including THC-oil and CBD-oil. Phone: +66 77 915 600. Staff speak Thai, so bring a translator app or a Thai-speaking friend if needed. Walk-ins are not accepted — call ahead to book an appointment.

Because clinic access is limited to a single hospital, plan ahead. If you are arriving from Bangkok or another major city, getting your PT 33 before traveling to Surat Thani is the safer option. Your prescription is valid nationwide and will work at all 54 dispensaries and 6 farms in the province, as well as on the Gulf islands.

How to Get There

Surat Thani is one of the best-connected cities in southern Thailand:

• Flights — Surat Thani Airport (URT) receives daily flights from Bangkok (Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi), taking about 1 hour. Airlines include AirAsia, Nok Air, and Thai Lion Air. The airport is 30 km west of the city.
• Train — Direct trains from Bangkok’s Hua Lamphong station take 8-12 hours depending on class. The main station is at Phunphin, about 15 km west of the city center. Night sleeper trains are popular.
• Bus — VIP and first-class buses from Bangkok’s Southern Bus Terminal take 9-10 hours. Several companies also run direct bus-ferry combos to the islands.
• Ferry connections — Don Sak pier (60 km east of the city) is the main departure point for Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. Ferries run by Raja, Seatran, and Lomprayah depart throughout the day. The Donsak area has dispensaries like Cannabis shop by Cat Demon Farm for last-minute purchases.
• Night boat — A slower overnight ferry departs from the pier in Surat Thani city itself, arriving at Koh Samui and Koh Phangan early morning. Budget option at around 200-350 THB.

What to Know

• Not a tourist town — Surat Thani is a working provincial capital, not a resort destination. Dispensaries cater primarily to Thai locals. English proficiency at shops varies, though the top-rated places generally manage basic communication.
• Spread-out city — Unlike walkable tourist towns, Surat Thani requires transport between areas. Songthaew (shared pickup trucks), motorbike taxis, and Grab are the main options. The Talat city center is the most walkable cluster.
• Stock up before the ferry — Cannabis prices on Koh Samui and Koh Phangan carry significant island markups. Buying in Surat Thani and carrying to the islands (with your valid PT 33) saves money.
• Clinic limitations — With only one clinic (Surat Thani Hospital), getting a PT 33 locally requires advance planning. The hospital operates on standard government hours and does not accept walk-ins. Arriving with a prescription from Bangkok or another major city is strongly recommended.
• Khao Sok side trip — The Ban Ta Khun area near Khao Sok National Park has two farms and a dispensary. If you are visiting the national park, the cannabis scene there is small but well-reviewed.
• Don Sak timing — If catching a ferry, Cannabis shop by Cat Demon Farm in Don Sak is your last chance to buy on the mainland. Check their hours against your ferry schedule.
• Rainy season — Surat Thani’s heaviest rains fall from October to December. This does not affect dispensary access but can disrupt ferry schedules to the islands.
