TLDR : Answer Summary
The demand for hotel work in Thailand is currently low, as many establishments are not operating at full capacity. For foreigners, obtaining jobs in Thailand requires a valid work permit, which can be challenging. Regarding cannabis, there has been significant legal progress: while marijuana was never fully legal, it was recently decriminalized for certain uses. Possession and cultivation (excluding extracts with over 0.2% THC) are allowed, but recreational use remains illegal and can lead to fines or imprisonment.

That's hilarious 😂 Cannabis 😂😂😂. I suggest you stay out of jail….

@Luc *******
have you been living under a rock these last 6 months? As of yesterday, there are no more criminal penalties for possessing cannabis. Now, I dont know how that stands in regards to selling, but NO one is going to jail anymore for simple possession, hallelujah....you might not be able to spark up a fatty in public, but can you sit on your back porch and take bong rips, you bet your big fat green nuggets you can!
Luc ********
@Sam ********
let’s see where that ends. Only for medical use and less than 0,2% thc. Recreational use still prohibited. Guess a good fat bud of strong marihuana, might still cost some tea money.
Sam *********
@Luc *******
that is not true. 0.2% is extracted THC, meaning that any product that takes the THC from the cannabis must be under that limit... there are no limits on what you can and cannot grow In terms of strength, regardless, to say that you will end up in jail is silly and not true. I had a chat with some local police officers and they have confirmed that this is the case, they will no longer be arrested people for cannabis possession... Smoking is "Strongly discouraged, but not illegal and the only prohibition that remains is smoking in a public placeabis smoking in public since yesterday

Hears the latest on cannabis as of today…..

Thailand had delisted the cannabis plant and flowers from the narcotics list. Currently consumption, possession, cultivation, and sales of cannabis (roots, stems, leaves, flowers) that is not extraction is LEGAL!

But please use it responsibly and safely:

- Do not use in public as you can get in trouble for being a public nuisance carrying up to THB 25,000 fine and up to 3 month prison time.

- Do not use and then drive or operate heavy machinery, your license and be cancelled.

- Do not allow those under the age of 20 acess to cannabis.

- Do not mix cannabis and other substances such as tobacco or alcohol.

- Beware of high THC cannabis flowers as currently there is no regulations on the amount.

- Edible is still not allowed for sale without going through the FDA

How long it will stay this way is up to all of you, if we can show that cannabis can bring money and tourist into Thailand, it may stay like this forever. Please help us keep it this way by come and check out what pretty flowers Thailand have to offer.

Happy Thai Cannabis Legalization Day.

วันนี้ประเทศไทยได้ยกกัญชาทึ่ไม่ใช่สารสกัดออกจากบัญชีรายชื่อยาเสพติด การใช้ การครอบครอง การปลูก การซื้อขาย กัญชา (ราก ลำต้น ใบ ช่อดอก) นั้นได้ถูกกฎหมายแล้ว

แต่กรุณาใช้อย่างมีความรับผิดชอบและปลอดภัย:

- ไม่ควรใช้กัญาในพื้นที่สาธารณะ หรือไปพ่นควันใส่ใคร ควรมีมารยาทในการใช้ ยังมีกฎหมายในเรื่องของการเป็นที่รำคาญ ที่มีโทษปรับถึง 25,000 บาท และจำคุก 3 เดือน

- ไม่ควรให้เยวชนที่อายุไม่ถึง 20 เข้าถึง

- ไม่ควรผสมการใช้กัญชากับสารอื่นๆเช่นยาสูบ และแอลกอฮอล์

- ระวังดอกกัญชาที่มี THC สูง เพราะยังไม่มีการกำกับปริมาณตอนนี้

- อาหาร หรือขนมที่มีส่วนผสมของกัญชายังต้องผ่าน อย. ก่อนถึงจะถูกกฎหมาย

กัญชาจะถูกหมายอย่างนี้นานเท่าไหร่อยู่ที่ทุกคน ถ้าเราสามารถโชว์ว่ากัญชาสามารถเอาเงิน และนักท่องเที่ยวเข้าประเทศได้มันอาจจะเป็นอย่างนี้ตลอดไป ช่วยกัญแชร์ข่าวออกไปให้พวกๆเพื่อนๆสายเขียวที่อยู่ต่างประเทศให้รูกัญ

Thnx for the info actually sorry for asking that I actually wanted to be a reseller or wanted to be in that line of business in thailand as extra income or be a full seller specially it can be an aid for my anxiety and it's really hard in the PH to get and it's really illegal. Don't want to go jail that's for sure
Andy **********
@Edison *********
yeah probably not. Jail sucks
Sam *********
@Andy *********
, have you read that they are actually freeing people incarcerated for small time cannabis offenses
Andy **********
You should probably definitely take this down before anyone else sees it
Daniel ************
you better go to Netherlands -
John **********
However, extracts containing more than 0.2% THC are still against the law. Recreational use is still banned. Anyone found smoking marijuana for recreation will be subject to lengthy jail terms and fines
Sam *********
@John *********
, not sure how they would be subject to “lengthy jail terms” if the country has just freed all of its prisoners in jail related to cannabis offenses..now you may not be able to just light up a doob any old place, but what is is clear is that that small time possessors and users are not going to be imprisoned…

Thailand is set to decriminalize marijuana starting Thursday, the first such move in Asia, seeking to grab a slice of a growing market for marijuana-infused food and medicinal cannabis treatments.

It will no longer be a crime to grow and trade marijuana and hemp products, a move aimed at bolstering the country’s crucial agriculture and tourism sectors. However, prospects for the Thai cannabis trade will be limited by the country’s ban on recreational use and the production of anything with more than 0.2% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound that gives users a “high” sensation.

only extracts such as cbd oil etc with a THC level higher than 0.2%, not the actual buds / flower.

Unless you have a Thai work permit getting a job in Thailand will be very difficult. And even now many hotels still are not full and biz slow. HM Salary I do not know what you mean. But yes rents are low depending what city, area, type of apt/house you want. Cannabis has never been legal in Thailand. In 2019 they decriminalized the possession of it but the govt has control of the strength of what's sold for medical purposes.

I'm sorry I just see a post that they legalize it and the post and the date of legalization is gloomy that's why the question is if it's still legal.
