Much as been written about vaping in Thailand. The situation is quite fluid when it comes to regulation, and nobody seems to really know what is true and what is false. Although liquid vapes like e-cigarettes are certainly banned, it gets murkier when it comes to dry herb vaporizers. Some consider them “vapes” but legally they are considered aromatherapy heaters. Or, even more obscurely, they could be considered portable electric ovens. The end-use normally dictates what a product is.
For example, to be considered drug paraphernalia, an item should be somehow explicitly linked to an illicit substance. A good example could be a metal spoon. Spoons are utensils, but if found together with drug-making equipment, they would be considered paraphernalia instead. And so it also goes with the dry herb vaporizers. Although normally used with cannabis, they are typically considered aromatherapy devices since they can be used with any type of herb. Finally, paired with nothing, they could essentially be considered hand warmers.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, what is the status of dry herb vaporizers in Thailand in 2025? Since Thailand legalized cannabis, the popularity of dry herb vaporizers in Thailand has risen. As of the most recent legislation however, the devices are still technically not allowed to be imported. Shipping one to Thailand comes with the risk of customs confiscating the device, no questions asked. This has happened to me and many others.
One shop I have come across that expertly gets around this is AsiaVape.co. They have developed an elaborate method for safely shipping dry herb vaporizers in Thailand and the device will arrive from their local depot in Bangkok. I have ordered the Tinymight 2 from these guys and it arrived safe and sound. Once the device is in your possession in Thailand, you can mostly use it without any worries, as it is importing that is explicitly not allowed. However, I would still recommend exercising some caution as it could be confused with being something else, like a regular e-cigarette. In any case, buying the device from AsiaVape.co ensures that you are not the one importing as you are receiving it as a local shipment.
Besides AsiaVape.co there are other shops selling similar devices, but I have found AsiaVape.co to be the most reliable as they have been around for a very long time. They also honor the manufacturer’s warranty. In conclusion, the legislation around vaporizers in Thailand is still somewhat unclear, and buying one abroad and shipping it to Thailand is not recommended. However, if you buy it from AsiaVape.co, you can enjoy both legal cannabis and a healthier way to consume it.
I wish you all a wonderful 2025!
