Are you planning to travel to Thailand and wondering if you can fly with weed in Thailand? With the recent delisting of cannabis as a Category 5 narcotic, many travelers are unsure of the regulations regarding the transportation of cannabis in the country. However, there are specific guidelines and limitations on the amount and form of cannabis you can carry on domestic flights in Thailand. In this blog post, we will discuss these guidelines and provide tips to help you avoid legal issues at the airport when you fly with weed in Thailand.
According to the AOT, cannabis in liquid form, such as doctor-prescribed tinctures or CBD with less than 0.2% THC, must be limited to 100 ml, just like any other liquid. However, the AOT has advised against transporting secondary cannabis products such as edibles, hashish, or oils. This is because airport security cannot test whether they exceed the legal limit of 0.2% THC.
It is essential to note that the AOT does not have the authority to check THC percentage. Thus, the office of the Narcotics Control Board must also be informed, which could cause a delay in security checks. Passengers are, therefore, advised to refrain from carrying any secondary cannabis products that could cause delays and legal issues.
While there is no specific order as to how much one can carry weed at the moment, it must be within the limits of airline luggage policies. There isn’t even any limit on how much one can carry, beyond the usual 7 kilograms for carry-on or whatever airlines cap for checked luggage. Of course it is still illegal to transport any cannabis or hemp, in any form, across the Thai border. The Public Health Ministry has clarified that any parts of cannabis or hemp are also forbidden to carry into the country.
