CANABANGKA CHINATOWN

Canabangka Chinatown is a cannabis dispensary and tea room located in a small alley off Charoenkrung Road in Bangkok’s Samphanthawong district — the heart of Yaowarat, Bangkok’s historic Chinatown. The shop is part of the Canabangka brand, which operates multiple locations in Bangkok.

Products and Tea Room

Canabangka focuses on carefully grown cannabis products, emphasizing cultivation quality and sourcing. What makes the Chinatown location unique is its Tea Room — a cozy space where customers can sit down and enjoy a cup of artisan tea alongside their cannabis purchase. This pairing of cannabis and tea culture reflects the neighborhood’s Chinese heritage and creates a more refined, contemplative experience compared to typical dispensary environments.

Atmosphere

The shop has a deliberately hidden, speakeasy-like quality. Tucked away in a small alley, it rewards visitors who seek it out with a warm, intimate space. The staff are welcoming and take a personal approach to customer interactions, making first-time visitors feel at ease despite the slightly off-the-beaten-path location.

Location

Yaowarat (Bangkok’s Chinatown) is one of the city’s most vibrant and historically significant neighborhoods, famous for its street food scene, gold shops, traditional Chinese-Thai businesses, and bustling energy — especially at night. Charoenkrung Road is Bangkok’s oldest paved road, running through the heart of the district. The Canabangka shop sits just off this main thoroughfare on Sai Alley, in the Samphanthawong area. The nearest MRT station is Wat Mangkon, which opened as part of the Blue Line extension and brought direct metro access to Chinatown for the first time.

Nearby

Visitors to the area typically combine a Canabangka visit with exploring Yaowarat’s street food vendors (particularly active after dark), nearby Wat Traimit (Temple of the Golden Buddha), and the flower market at Pak Khlong Talat.

Hours

Canabangka Chinatown is open daily from noon to 9:00 PM.
