PT33 Thailand: Get Your Cannabis Prescription (2026)

Since June 2025, buying cannabis flower in Thailand legally requires a medical prescription — the PT 33 certificate, signed by a licensed Thai doctor. (Prefer a quick-reference version of this guide? See our PT33 prescription page.) That might sound like a hassle, but honestly, it isn't: Magical Garden can't sign it for you — only a doctor can — but we make it genuinely easy, with two ways to get it done. Don't want to leave the shop? Hop on a quick video call with a licensed doctor right here (or from your hotel), and we print your PT 33 for you the moment it arrives by email — no separate trip anywhere. Prefer to see a doctor face-to-face? We connect you with a trusted local partner clinic just minutes away. Either way, the logistics are straightforward — and it's valid a full month, every time, so you're free to travel anywhere in Thailand with it too.

Here's exactly how both options work, what the prescription covers, and what to expect on your first visit.

Why You Need a Prescription in 2026

In June 2025 Thailand's Ministry of Public Health reclassified cannabis flower as a controlled herb. Since then, every legal retail sale of cannabis buds must be backed by a PT 33 prescription issued by a Thai-licensed medical practitioner. This applies to everyone — Thai residents and tourists alike.

Two important things follow from that:

Two Ways to Get Your PT 33 — With Magical Garden's Help

We can't sign the form ourselves, but we take care of the rest so you don't have to think about it. Pick whichever feels easiest:

Option 1: Telemedicine (fastest — you never leave the shop)

Option 2: A trusted local partner clinic (if you'd rather see a doctor in person)

Either way: your PT 33 is valid for a full month — for purchases and domestic travel within Thailand (even flying between islands is fine with a valid PT 33). Then just come back and relax — shop from our constantly rotating menu of licensed exotic strains, premium hash and edibles, knowing everything is fully legal and properly documented.

Most visitors sort the whole thing — prescription and first purchase — inside the same visit. It really is that simple.

Is It Expensive?

The PT 33 form itself is always free at Magical Garden, whichever route you choose. The medical consultation itself is billed separately by the doctor or clinic you consult, not by Magical Garden — message us on WhatsApp if you'd like current guidance on typical costs.

While you're at it, join our free Members Club too — it takes about 30 seconds, unlocks up to 40% off the Strain of the Week right away, and puts you on the path to a physical member card (issued after your first ฿1,000+ purchase) for 10% off everything else.

Quality You Can Trust

Getting compliant is only half the picture — what you're actually buying matters just as much. Every strain on our menu comes from a GACP-certified farm (Good Agricultural and Collection Practices, the recognised standard for medical cannabis cultivation) and is independently lab-tested by a certified laboratory in Thailand. Every batch is checked for:

COA (Certificate of Analysis) reports are available on request — just ask our staff and we'll happily show you the results for any strain you're curious about. Legal paperwork sorted, quality verified — that's a genuinely carefree holiday.

What You Can Buy With Your Prescription

A valid PT 33 covers cannabis flower purchases of up to around 30 grams per month — far more than enough for a holiday. At Magical Garden that means:

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Magical Garden issue PT33 prescriptions?

No — only a licensed doctor can sign a PT 33, and Magical Garden is a dispensary, not a clinic. But it's genuinely no hassle: we offer telemedicine (a quick video call with a licensed doctor, printed on the spot the moment it arrives), or we connect you with a trusted local partner clinic just minutes away — either way, quickly and affordably.

Can I get my PT33 by video call instead of visiting a clinic?

Yes — that's our telemedicine option, and it's usually the fastest path. Hop on a quick video call with a licensed doctor from Magical Garden's wifi (or your hotel), answer a few questions, and your PT 33 gets emailed straight over. We print it for you on the spot — no separate trip needed — so you can start shopping the same visit.

How much does a PT33 prescription cost in Koh Samui?

The form is free at Magical Garden, whichever route you choose. The medical consultation itself is billed by the doctor or clinic you consult, separately from Magical Garden — message us on WhatsApp if you'd like current guidance.

How long does the whole process take?

With telemedicine, there's no travel involved — timing depends on the consultation itself. Visiting our partner clinic in person adds a short ride and an in-person consultation. Message us on WhatsApp if you want to check timing before you come.

How long is the prescription valid?

A PT 33 is valid for 30 days — for both purchases and domestic travel within Thailand.

Do I need to bring anything besides my passport?

Just your passport (or a clear photo of it). For the telemedicine option you'll need it on hand for the video call; for the clinic option, bring it along with your PT 33 form. You must be at least 20 years old.

Does my medical marijuana card from home work in Thailand?

No — foreign medical cards have no legal effect in Thailand. You need the Thai PT 33, and Magical Garden will point you in the right direction for free.

Can I still buy the same day I get my prescription?

Yes. Once your PT 33 is signed — by video call or at the clinic — come straight back to Magical Garden and shop from the full menu.

Is Magical Garden's cannabis lab-tested?

Yes — every strain comes from a GACP-certified farm and is tested by a certified Thai laboratory for THC percentage, heavy metals, mould, and other contaminants. COA reports are available on request.
