Has anyone tried these folks? Pretty great looking buds at great prices, but largish minimum.  Click on English in the translation link.

Almost certainly a scam.

The pictures are literally stock images.

From what I've seen, opium is like hash, solid. How does one dip into this?  A reliable source claimed some was soaked in hash oil, I don't know.

 

If it is indeed an original old school strain, then there would be lots of takers for the seeds. Are they for sale? Any pics?

 

I read a famous grower who said the Thai strains were difficult to cure, although personally I've never felt it's quite the art some claim. The original Thai stick had a bit of a compost smell, similar to brick weed. Apparently due not being dried properly before being bagged.

 

The OP stated it may be the same strain as some brick weed, if so then it's only a matter of time before properly trimmed and dried quality bud is available at a good price from friends. Might not be good news for those who invested in lights and dispensaries, but I'll enjoy the reduced hype.

Solvents exist. 
The paint on your walls is also a solid - after the solvents evaporate.

It's actually not difficult to disprove the "urban legend" that Thai Sticks were "dipped" in opium..  I'll explain..

 

There is now a "nouveux cannabis" product called Pop Rocks. These are dense (must be to survive the process) buds that have weed/hash oil applied. This process almost certainly is done by hand. The oil must be warmed beforehand for ease of application. The buds are now very sticky and will stick to their neighbor. This problem is solved by rolling them in kief cannabis "dust" after allowing for some drying time..

 

Have you ever seen opium? It has the consistency of thick axle grease. Even warmed it's going to rip the heck out of the buds, destroying their aesthetic appeal. You edited your post to say "some" were apparently treated this way. I never saw any...

 

I think it would be better to delete any reference to this.. not least because conflating cannabis with opium does none of us any good.. Shades of the old (also false) "gateway" drug argument.

 

Latex from the opium poppy is not a thick black tarry substance.

Also, solvents like ethanol can very easily be used to thin down other products.

There's a lot of value in having a source you know and trust - especially if it's costing less than 500 baht per month.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and all that.
