### Start with the right local source

Thailand’s government announcement describes prescription-based medical access and a supply limited to 30 days. Treat an older Bangkok shop listing as a starting point for a current eligibility check, not as confirmation of unrestricted recreational sales. [\[1\]](https://thailand.prd.go.th/en/content/category/detail/id/2078/iid/401785)

Open the [Bangkok catalogue](/weed/thailand/bangkok) to compare addresses. Use the map or nearest-venues option for the journey, then check the current information for the premises you selected.

### Before setting off

Ask whether the venue currently provides the relevant licensed medical service, who assesses eligibility, which documents it requires and whether an appointment is available. Ask for the address of the actual clinical visit before travelling.

- Match the exact address, not only the business name.
- Check the opening hours for the day of the visit.
- Contact the venue if an access condition or the listed service is unclear.

### Does an online menu confirm my access?

Check the current medical process with the provider first. A menu describes what was listed, not a prescription or a decision that the service is appropriate for you.

### If the information does not match

Save the official source and the venue’s reply. Use the listing’s correction option for an incorrect address or hours. Read the local purchase and consumption dimensions separately; this visit guide helps you choose and verify a next step, while the linked rules explain its conditions.
