Your link points to why it perfectly legal to smoke pot and places where it’s not allow. Weed shops are private business and thus you can smoke inside given that nobody complains about the smell surrounding the shop. It’s only illegal to smoke in public base on public nuisance laws. There is no specific law that says you can’t smoke weed in public, just like how there is no laws that specifically says you can’t smoke cigarettes in public. Weed shops need license, pays taxes, and gets checked up more so than alcohol venues as of now. It creates jobs and bring in tourism too. Yes I do agree with you, it somewhat makes the place looks more seedy. Many of the shops located in central city area have picked up on rental units where it has been empty since Covid. If weed shops were not there it would still be empty unit today, making it look like a drag. So it’s bringing in money and creating jobs for locals, and making the place lively again. Thailand dived right in legalizing it before enough regulations are in place, that was the error. By end of the year, probably 30-40% of the shops will close down due to oversupply and fierce competition. No doubt there are illegal elements to it like money laundering etc, but it already goes on with alcohol establishments too. Majority are just small Thai own shops playing by the books.

Both JJ Mall and Mixt Mall are right next to chatuchak market. Covered parking, convenient, cheap. No need to look anywhere else.
