khunjake Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Any members have some idea where the market is at for wholesale top shelf weed prices? I see on PrikPot about 250b per gram (min 10g) and as low as 120b/g at SiamSeeds (but sold out now) for retail prices. Seems pretty low. Perhaps illegally imported cannabis from US/Canada has killed Thai growers already? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LOWERCASEGUY Posted September 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2023 10g isn't wholesale. LOL They might call it wholesale in order to pleasure people into thinking they got a great deal but let's just put it this way, if they're not asking you for your dispensary license, you're not buying wholesale. It can be a little confusing because the places you mentioned have retail and wholesale. In my experience, the growers that also sell retail tend to have the highest wholesale prices because they don't want to communicate how much they're making on retail. In other words, if I'm selling OG Kush for 500 baht a gram retail and wholesaling it at 120 baht a gram, you don't need a math degree to figure out the profit margins (plus the fact that 120 baht a gram still has profit in it). But if they price it at 250 a gram wholesale, that doesn't seem as bad. Wholesale under 100g is normally going to be between 100 - 200 a gram. But I've seen very nice looking buds, maybe not top top shelf but decent, for 100 baht a gram wholesale. But the norm is usually more like 120 or 150. I would laugh at anyone trying to get 200 baht or more a gram during slow season. I've seen really good outdoor/greenhouse organic for as low as 35 baht a gram for smaller buds up to maybe 70 for really nice looking buds. And, of course, you can pick up the basic stuff like Thai Stick, Green Crack, KD Koh Tao, etc for as little as 5 baht a gram for crappy looking, improperly cured, dried out weed. This is often the stuff used in prerolls in tourist areas where they're selling joints for 350 baht a gram (do the ROI on that - LOL). Lastly, I would add that the word "top shelf" has been so overused and abused, not just Thailand but in every legal market, that the term is meaningless. Same with Exotics. I've seen people selling basic stuff like Jack Herer as exotics. I've even seen people selling popcorn and calling it top shelf. LOL. If you use the word "top shelf" you might as well type "lksjdfa;lskdjflo;kadsflksjdfs" because it means the same thing. 3 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use the word "top shelf" you might as well type "lksjdfa;lskdjflo;kadsflksjdfs" because it means the same thing. We understand the skepticism surrounding the use of "top shelf" to describe popcorn-sized cannabis. Traditionally, the term is associated with large, visually impressive buds. However, it's important to note that size is not the only measure of quality. Our grading system considers multiple factors like potency, aroma, and flavor. For us, labeling something as "popcorn" clearly sets the expectation for bud size, while all other quality grading methods still apply. There's a significant difference between popcorn buds from an outdoor or greenhouse grow and those from an indoor grow. If these smaller buds offer an experience that is on par with their larger, top shelf counterparts in terms of effects and presentation, we believe it's fair to label them as "top shelf" as long as the size difference is made clear. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjake Posted September 21, 2023 Author Share Posted September 21, 2023 To me, top-shelf/high-grade/premium = great bag appeal, strong, good smelling aroma, trichs all over, high THC, low CBD and of course, a nice nug, no popcorn or larf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find your answer confusing. If the law clamps down on recreational use (ie: only medicinal on prescription), how will prices boom, unless shops sell illegally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of new businesses are going to feel this..back to mini-marts or beer bars. This is the PM's interview with Bloomberg News while he is in new York. Speaking in New York, Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said that his government will amend the law on cannabis, to restrict its use to medical purposes and to control retail cannabis outlets, within six months. During his interview with Bloomberg, the prime minister said that, since cannabis was decriminalised in Thailand last year, by removing it from the Category 5 drugs list, it has become the first country in Asia where cannabis is available for medical as well as recreational purposes, resulting in the rapid growth of retail outlets offering cannabis and its extracts over the counter. He claimed that there is broad agreement among the 11 coalition parties that the use of cannabis and its extracts must be restricted to medical use. Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Cholnan Srikaew maintains that, even though cannabis has been removed from the Category 5 drugs list, it is still regarded as a narcotic. He stressed the need for the Cannabis Act to be amended to restrict its use to medical purposes, adding that the cultivation of cannabis plants should also be curtailed, especially the right of each household to grow up to 15 plants in their backyard. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh no.. You know enough to know that "popcorn" buds are the small buds on the lower branches. Also the small buds on the interior of the plant. These popcorn buds have lower THC levels. I have communicated with you before on your non-transparent pricing.. Advertise, for example, 150/gm, but looking more closely you see that it's actually 200/gm individually. The 150/gm requires larger orders. This is basically unfair and you are an outlier for using this pricing policy, which is why I won't buy from you on principle. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunjake Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 As a fully licensed entity, thankfully we never built out the operation as we saw prices tanking several months ago. Should they be serious about curtailing the market for medicinal only and should illegal imports stop, maybe then prices can rise. Govt doesnt support thai cannabis farmers and thats a problem. At current levels, we have ZERO plans to make any further investments. Again, thankfully we cut loose with only a small amount of capital and have a decent indoor operation at the moment which after 1 nice grow, remains offline (for now). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I have a connection that ships for A grade indoor from 1 gram at 250 baht a gram, from 10 grams 200-220 baht a gram, from 50 grams 200 baht a gram, if you are interested. This is just from Thai growers, has nothing to do with import, it's normal. If you buy a lot the prices are even less, always been like that, if you know where to buy of course.

We appreciate your concerns about the transparency of our pricing, and we understand how this could affect your purchasing decision. To clarify, we consistently display a comprehensive breakdown of pricing and quantities required for each product on our website. Our business model focuses on catering to regular medicinal users, which is why we have set minimum quantity requirements and do not offer 1g purchases. Although the cost per gram is indeed higher for smaller quantities, we aim to make this explicit on our platform to avoid any misunderstandings. For our Gold Members, we offer the benefit of 28g pricing across all listed quantities as a way to thank them for their loyalty. We hope this clears up any uncertainties you may have had regarding our pricing structure. We remain committed to providing a transparent and fair experience for all of our customers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we're open to further dialogue to improve your experience with us. Example of how we list pricing, and to make it clear popcorn-size is our most popular SKU in terms of follow-up orders.

Happy days! When weed was illegal, the quality was better, and the prices were dirt cheap. Let's make it illegal again, and we can get stop buying overpriced weed from companies looking to make a quick buck. How is it even remotely possible for weed to be more expensive in a third world country, where the average citizen earns less than 5000 USD per year? Prices in the US and UK are much cheaper, you do not purchase by the gram, and quality is much higher. Look at this crap.

marin Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Seems to me you dont have a shop or connect to get what you want. I have never had the problem you are describing. All the indoor I get is of high quality and I choose the popcorn buds at 150B a gram max. I also like the Thai sativa Squirrel Tail as an occasional smoke and I get very nice chocolate smelling bud at 590B for 50 grams. Its out there you just have to find it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
