The Thai Traditional and Integrated Medicine Hospital (โรงพยาบาลการแพทย์แผนไทยและการแพทย์ผสมผสาน) is a government hospital on Bamrung Mueang Road in Bangkok’s Pom Prap Sattru Phai district. As the name indicates, the hospital specializes in traditional Thai medicine and integrative healthcare approaches, making it a particularly significant institution in the context of medical cannabis in Thailand.

Services

The hospital’s cannabis clinic provides medical cannabis prescriptions, THC oil, and CBD oil. What makes this hospital’s cannabis services unique is the traditional Thai medicine context — cannabis has deep historical roots in Thai traditional medicine, where it was used in herbal preparations for centuries before its prohibition in the 20th century. The hospital’s approach integrates cannabis into this traditional framework alongside modern medical practices.

Historical Significance

Thailand’s traditional medical texts (Tamra Ya) contain numerous cannabis-based preparations that were used historically for pain relief, appetite stimulation, sleep, and other conditions. The Thai Traditional and Integrated Medicine Hospital represents the formal reintegration of cannabis into this centuries-old medical tradition following decriminalization. This makes it one of the most symbolically important cannabis clinics in the country.

Location

The hospital is located on Bamrung Mueang Road in the Pom Prap Sattru Phai district, in the historic center of Bangkok near the Giant Swing (Sao Ching Cha) and Wat Suthat. The area is one of Bangkok’s oldest neighborhoods, rich in temples, traditional shophouses, and historical architecture. MRT Sam Yot station provides nearby metro access.

Who It’s For

This hospital is particularly relevant for patients interested in exploring cannabis through the lens of traditional Thai medicine — a regulated, historically-grounded approach to cannabis wellness that differs from both the commercial dispensary model and standard Western medical cannabis prescribing.
