Sukhumweed is a cannabis dispensary located on Sukhumvit Soi 42 in Bangkok’s Phra Khanong area. The shop was founded by Soranut “Beer” Masayavanich, a former child actor who transitioned into cannabis cultivation, bringing a personal passion for the plant to the retail side of the business.
Products and Pricing
Sukhumweed functions as a one-stop shop for cannabis products, carrying both THC and CBD varieties. The shop stocks a range of strains including domestic Thai-grown cannabis and imported options. A popular house strain is Thai Loy, a domestically cultivated variety available at an accessible price point. For customers looking for something different, the shop carries several imported strains at various price levels. The combination of budget-friendly local options and premium imports means there’s something for different tastes and budgets.
Founder Story
What makes Sukhumweed distinct in Bangkok’s crowded dispensary scene is its founder’s personal involvement. Soranut “Beer” Masayavanich is not just an investor — he’s an active cultivator who is involved in growing and selecting the cannabis sold in the shop. This hands-on approach to sourcing gives the shop an authenticity that resonates with customers who want to know where their product comes from.
Location
Sukhumvit Soi 42 is on the even-numbered (south) side of Sukhumvit Road, in the Phra Khanong subdistrict. The nearest BTS station is Phra Khanong, making the shop easily accessible from the Sukhumvit line. The Phra Khanong and On Nut area has developed into a popular neighborhood for both expats and locals, with a growing food and nightlife scene that offers a more local feel compared to the Asok or Thong Lo stretches further up the line.
Who It’s For
Sukhumweed draws a mix of local residents, expats living in the Phra Khanong area, and curious visitors. The shop’s no-frills approach and fair pricing make it a regular stop for repeat customers rather than a one-time tourist attraction.
