At LaLaLand Phuket, we follow the current regulations and work with a licensed doctor. The purpose of this process is simple: every regulated purchase must be properly documented, transparent and available for inspection.
What is the PT33 form for cannabis in Thailand?
PT33 is an official Thai prescription form for controlled cannabis flower.
In simple terms, it is a medical document confirming that a licensed practitioner has reviewed the customer’s information and decided whether cannabis is appropriate for medical use.
The form normally includes:
the doctor’s name and professional licence details;
the patient’s identification details;
the reason for the prescription;
the prescribed product and amount;
the period for which the prescription is valid.
The official PT33 template is published by Thailand’s Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine. (Herb Control System)
