I thought rsc would have some proper ones in there, I hope. He has some other new ones like hmong ganja from Bolikhamsai Province in Laos so hopefully they aren't kd'd but have heard great things about his sourcing before so let's go.

Thai weed from Thailand
- Thread starter funkyhorse
- Start date
There were no seeds in it.
pretty sure angus collects this stuff himself limey ,
and is aware of both cannabis culture and thai/laos culture ,
i have a feeling his lady is from Laos??and
its unrealistic to think just because one guy made some hybrids and sent them to some people that it ruined the whole genetics within the country .
Im sure you will be right with those genetics from rsc , and from what i see of prempavee , she is also aware of hybrids and landrace types , she seems honest and has a good reputation , i havent seen anything grown from her landrace types that looked hybridized ...
the clip shown in previous posts about what kd said about laos brick isnt totally accurate either,
the stuff is very commercial and grown in very large patches , sun dried often , conditions are rough with a lot of it ,
this treatment doesnt allow the seed used to show its full potential, i guess as an example its a bit like some of the brick sent to america from mexico etc ,
some of the seed in that stuff will produce much better weed than it came from ...
the main reason thai weed isnt what it once was is simply its not grown with the care it was , not bred with intent , especially after 40 years plus of cannabis prohibition,
im sure you can get some very good stock next door to thailand in Laos... and also in some parts of thailand ...
Was just in Thailand - October/November - best 'erb I found was the cheapest Thai Brick Weed - at 20 Baht per gram - on Koh Lanta - all the madly priced foreign fancy named hybrids were not really for me - since that old brick weed was seedless - and hardly had any stalks at all - so I bought 30 grams for 500 Baht - really cheap at about $15 USD per ounce - and although I did try some of the imported hybrids - I always came back to prefer the Thai Brick Weed over all - great day/doing stuff 'erb - and smelled/tasted like the old school Thai - from 40 years ago 
Over the years/decades - I've bought all sorts of 'erb in Thailand - for ages - the brick weed that was sold in Thailand - was grown in Cambodia or Laos - and was full of seeds and stalk -
This new Thai Bric 'erb was actually grown in Thailand
- since nowadays they ain't throwing people in jail over cannabis - like they used to - so local Thai's feel comfortable growing cannabis once again - creating the circumstances whereby alot of this sun dried and pressed Thai Brick Weed is circulating - so I've been told - if you are in Thailand - try and ask for some - at your local weed shop/dispensary - maybe they have it? - and maybe you might find some seeds in it - I didn't - not one - since that 30 grams was all dried and pressed sensimilla flowers -

The fact that it's seedless and not full of steam and rubbish tells me it's been grown and processed with love, and it's also been grown away from these farms full of hermaphrodites.
If you can find that being sold away from the Dispensaries, the odds are that person is or knows the grower and asking them if it is possible to buy some seed of this so you can grow it at home in a different country because you really enjoy it should pay off if you do it in a respectful way.

The problem is that you can't just pop into any 'erb shop and actually find Thai landrace or Thai Brick in Thailand -
- I tried asking for traditional Thai cannabis in around 10 different places where 'erb is sold on my last trip to Thailand - from Bangkok to Trat - to Krabi - Koh Lanta - to Koh Samui - and only found it in one - and got some funny looks of incredulity for asking for it - after turning my nose up to all the many various western bred hybrids -
- it's as if the Thai's themselves consider their own traditional cannabis - a much lower grade - compared to all the fancy named - mostly indoor grown hybrids - so it was priced much lower than the $10-$30 per gram indoor/hybrids - at around $.60 cents per gram - and not even advertised in the store - I had to ask for it -
But for myself - it was a great find - the scent and high I got from the new Thai Brick - brought back many sweet memories of yesteryear - over 40 years of scoring some good local Thai - then getting blasted in that wonderful country -

Thai cannabis back in the day was coincided some of if not the best Cannabis on the planet and as most of the cannabis commerce and shops are geared up towards tourist I am honestly shocked that no ones focused on producing the old Thai sticks as they would sell like hot cakes.
They would need to live up to the quality of the past otherwise people would just buy cookies and that seems to be what is happening.
What kind of aroma did this big Laotian plant have? Looks impressive. They get so tall like some Indians from the Himalayas.
Thinking about it - the huge legal clampdown on cannabis in Thailand over previous decades has led to this cannabis trade explosion we now see in Thailand - the enormous amount of tourists are asking for hybrids they know from home - so the Thai's try and oblige by growing them - and selling them - at astronomical prices - compared to the old days - when a kilo of good Thai 'erb - could be had for 500 Baht -
- These days Thai 'erb shops can sell just a gram of fancy named foreign hybrid 'erb for 500 Baht or more - so money usually drives the market - and all the under 40 years old local Thai's go for the new and expensive hybrids too - because they are new and expensive - and maybe in the pre-legalisation days - even the Thai's could only get crap 'erb - if they could get anything at all - during those wicked times of heavy prohibition -

I'm pretty sure that if you trawled for long enough - thru umpteen cannabis shops (and there are thousands) - throughout Thailand - you may come up with whatever you seek - all I have to go on is a few weeks and around 10 different establishments in different cities/towns up and down Thailand - and didn't see any Thai or Buddha Sticks - as I have done a long-long time ago - it wouldn't surprise me if someone is still making them - at all -

It's the older people that remember how good the Thai sticks were Gypsy and if any of them walked into a bud store and saw a Thai stick they jump at. If the younger smokers had the opportunity to smoke some of the old Thai, they be reaching for it too.
Saying that not every one after a racey tripy long-lasting high, some like the short highs.

The first Thai I ever got was expertly grown and sprayed with narcotic. It was fucking awesome! And the terps and taste were amazing.

A friend did a treck threw Thailand with a group now I can't remember what part, but it was threw the jungle, and it was a week or two long.
It was just before covid and pre legal, she told me they just come across wild cannabis too far from any village or settlements for it to be cultivated.
I know the old Thais still here, so it still has to be there too.

yea they can get huge mex , larger than that with time and better conditions ,
the aroma is very hard to describe since i cant place any other aroma similar to it ,
but its like a lot of asian/thai weed i have grown before , certainly hints of sour mango,
and a really nice fresh smell,
it changes a lot after a good cure , more earthy and less fresh , the mango smell dissipates too,
i know you have purchased thai before , its likely a similar aroma to what you have tried ...
perhaps cigar box aromas , deep/rich and earthy ... maybe a little musty ...
Yeah - each to their own - usually though - when you just drop into a new place - country - far off location - I'm happy to have any sort of cannabis - and often (in the past) - there hasn't been a choice -
- Over the years I've been fairly lucky - and have nearly always managed to find some good Thai 'erb - in Thailand - when dropping in for a visit - but have also seen some really rough stuff for sale too - as is the case anywhere I 'spose -

Thai i bought in the 90s at my favourite coffeeshop had always a woody minty aroma what i remember. Seeds were just a few.
