PT.33 FORM • PHUKET
How a medical cannabis prescription works in Thailand
Cannabis flower is classified in Thailand as a controlled herb. A medical prescription is not a product issued automatically after payment: it depends on a consultation, a patient assessment and the decision of an authorized professional. This page explains the main requirements before starting a request in Phuket.
Who makes the medical decision
Only a professional authorized under current Thai rules may issue the prescription. The prescriber must assess the patient, confirm a medical indication and decide whether cannabis flower is appropriate for the individual situation. The shop and the order operator do not replace the medical professional.
What the PT.33 form records
The form identifies the patient and prescriber and records the diagnosis or condition, daily dosage, quantity and treatment period. These details must match the patient’s identification and the medical decision, rather than only the information entered during checkout.
How the consultation and prescription request proceeds
The service card starts a request and provides a route for sharing contact details. Adding the service to the cart does not mean that a prescription has already been approved.
- Open the service card and review the current price and conditions.
- Provide accurate contact details and the information from your identification document.
- Complete the consultation or medical assessment arranged by the authorized professional.
- Wait for the medical decision. The professional may approve, request more information or decline the request.
Duration, quantity and important restrictions
Under the current PT.33 form, the prescriber records the medically necessary quantity and a treatment period of no more than 30 days per issuance. A prescription does not override other restrictions on cannabis sales, advertising, transport, possession or use. Regulations can change, so customers should check current official information before starting.
Official requirements and the categories of authorized professionals are published by the Medical Cannabis Division of Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health. This page was checked against official guidance in August 2026 and does not replace medical or legal advice. Official DTAM requirements.
