Vintage Thai is Original Thai Stick Born Again - PrikPot Cannabis

[webfact]

 

We put on some jungle camo and went in search of the most original of Thai cannabis strains. The results are beyond the wildest dreams of everyone at PrikPot and the experienced smokers among our customer base. Our online shelves are now stocked with weed that embodies everything legendary that came out of the Southeast Asian cannabis scene during the Vietnam War Era.

 

We are happy to introduce you to Vintage Thai. A strain that takes true dedication to produce, involving five months of growing followed by six months of curing. Buy Vintage Thai here:

To be clear, the term Thai Stick does not refer to a particular strain, but a packaging method that involved compressing cannabis around thin bamboo sticks, wrapping it in cannabis fan leaves and securing it with string/thread. Technically, any cannabis can be packed using the Thai Stick technique, but we were not seeking the aesthetics of that era.

 

We wanted the real thing.

 

Our efforts led us to original seeds from the 60s, and with them we have produced cannabis that is:

 

● The original Thai strain that popularized Thai Stick

● A native landrace 100% Sativa

● Grown for 5 months and then cured for 6 months

● Grown organically in Chiang Mai

 

Smoking or consuming Vintage Thai brings on a rapid high that feels invigorating and full, likely to make you look at the label again to check you really saw 18% THC concentration written there.

 

We couldn’t believe it either. Vintage Thai is a beautiful and enjoyable Sativa whose innocuous appearance and relative lack of aroma hide its quality effects.

 

 

PrikPot is offering Vintage Thai in 10 gram packs for 2,490 Baht each, which equates to fantastic value for money at 249 Baht per gram. Members of ASEAN NOW are entitled to a 10% discount on all orders.

are those buds in the picture the ones you are claiming to be 18 percent thc ? 

 

i would love to test that theory if you guys are interested. i am an extraction specialist and am more than willing to do a run of your product. 

 

i could post a picture of some landrace thai bud but it would get a little awkward i think. 

 

anyways let me know i would love to find out.

I get the 5 months to grow but 6 months to cure?

 

That's absolutely not necessary... unless waiting for it to turn golden in colour.

 

Or maybe trying to replicate the slightly aged taste when it arrived on the West Coast of USA and Canada after a 3 month sea voyage.

Hello,

 

Not sure where you got that information from. Ask any grower and they will agree that the longer you cure it the better. The recommended minimum is usually 3-4 weeks, and many growers cut corners in order to get their products out the door faster. 

 

In the case of our Vintage Thai, we are convinced the extended curing is one of the keys to its quality.

Sorry, I beg to differ, speaking as someone who has the experience to make the comment I did...

 

Your low estimate is more than sufficient.

 

To clarify, I'm talking about the time elapsed after the dried buds have been clipped from the stems.

 

Curious why you didn't react to my comment about a golden colour, because some Thai strains do become quite a beautiful gold. Takes a while.

We've never seen so many experts as in this business, so we'll just leave it to that. This would probably be a discussion better suited in a forum for growers. ????

I'm surprised.. I know people who know you.

[bobbin]

Again to clarify...

 

It's possible to disagree with me without implying that I don't know what I'm talking about.

Ok, let me clarify too. I did not say you are wrong or that you don't know what you are talking about, I said there are many experts in this field. Just as with beer, wine, politics etc. My point was that everyone has en opinion, and that is fine. But we are not to judge who is right or wrong, we base our conclusions and results on the experts we deal with. In this case, we are very happy with both. 

 

If you disagree, fine. But since this particular subject should be discussed between growers, I suggested an alternative forum for that.

To run this forum and give a voice to  people who have nowhere voice their opinions on earth costs money. And yes it needs advertisers.

Looks nothing like the chocolatey Thai sticks I used to smoke, those pic looks like immature poorly manicured buds.

Sorry but  I gotta be true to the old school masters.

As mentioned above, its not the "Thai Sticks" as in the rolled cigar shaped sticks. This the strain named Thai, that were used (mostly) to make Thai Sticks. Some of (edited) the original Thai Sticks were also dipped in opium, something we obviously don't do. Maybe thats why you refer to "chocolatey". ????

 

We do however plan to offer traditional Thai Sticks soon (minus the opium).

Clarification

[Grandpa Cool]

Interesting opinions and experiences. I was in Thailand 50 years ago and bought a brick of what you call Thai Sticks (20 sticks) for 20 baht from a rickshaw boy in Udon. I had a choice of number 1 (seedless) or number 2 (with seeds). It was called Buddha Grass and the number 1 was very sticky, resinous buds and the resultant high was clear and psychedelic.

Pure Landrace Malawi Gold is very much the same.

"Golden Tiger", a recently stabilised sativa hybrid of 2 Thai females and Malawi killer male is supposed to be the apex of sativas.

Isn't it wonderful to be able to be able to have these discussions without fear or favour! ????????????

That compressed thai stick is selling for 300 baht a kilo on shoppee. May not be yours but it smokes the same and as with all thai stick ( thai weed) its great at first but smoke it too often and the effect is minimal. 1-2 a day and within a week you need to stick 2g in 1 to feel high. Enjoyable though.

[bamnutsak]

Maybe folks should try this before commenting on the finished product?

Those imported to the East Coast of the U.S. (ferried in by boats from freighters, Southeastern Massachusetts) were dipped in diesel fuel and bilge water, mostly by accident by being hidden within the freighter.

 

Everyone has a Thai Stick story, well the geriatric crowd anyway. I think most of us tend to embellish things a bit after 50 years. To me, and no, I did not smoke Thai sticks in country in the 1970's dipped into whatever, these were more of a packaging/marketing gimmick. Some poor farmers got roped into winding red thread around cannabis (presumably) onto sticks. Whopee dee do. I'm also old enough to remember Juan Valdez personally picking each coffee bean.

 

I'd like to see some photos of the grow, close-ups of the product and independent reviews. And a more detailed description of the curing process, espeially how you determined this 180 day sweet spot? Can you offer any details on the smell, feel, high, taste, terpene profile?

 

There are plenty of Sativa-dominant (70-80%) strains which offer a similar effect. I prefer Sativas, but they are harder to find, are a bit more challenging to grow and have lower yields so offer less incentive to grow. I've been looking for some "real" Thai sativas, but these are elusive IMLE. By the time I track something down it's sold out.

Pathetic people... IMHO

There are tons of low quality "brick weed" sold everywhere, and not surprisingly there is a surplus of that on the Thai market at the moment. This is not the same, even though they might originate from the same strain. If you smoke the same strain for a long time, you will usually develop a tolerance and need more to in order to feel the effect.

Thanks for sharing your story. It is similar to many others we have spoken to. I also heard that most of the Thai Sticks at the time were actually made in Laos and shipped to Thailand. Instead of trying to describe something using words, send us an email on [email protected] and I will send you a sample of Vintage Thai, I would love to hear your opinion since you obviously been around.  

[Rhys]

Tommy and Martin need to give approval, la. 

[Wuvu2]

Any way to buy a smaller sample?

 

I' bought a couple of the Thai strains from Prik Pot already which were not as good as the brick weed I've got so I tossed them. I though the descriptions sounded way better than the weed. 

 

I'd be happy to buy a gram or two. I don't want to invest 2k+ baht to be disappointed again. Please advise.

 

PS. I agree 100% on the need for curing. Weed needs a cool dark environment to cure properly which is a big challenge in Thailand. Some of the indoor weed at dispensaries are nice strains but improperly cured. I'm happy to know PrikPot is working on that issue.

Please email us on [email protected] and we will work something out. Not sure what Thai strain you are referring to, but if something was wrong we will compensate for that. We always do.

I want to publicly apologize - PrikPot did not sell me the two Thai strains that disappointed me in July. After checking my account I realized it was a different online seller.

You just lost all credibility for me. Never were they dipped in opium. This is a proven urban myth. Had my doubts that are now confirmed.

[bobbin]

They were not dipped in opium..

 

I was in Bangkok buying them in the early '70's..
