TH Psilocybin law · Asia-Pacific & Africa · Reviewed Nov 12, 2026
Psilocybin mushrooms remain prohibited in Thailand for ordinary personal and commercial use; narrow government-licensed treatment or research activities may be permitted.
Unauthorized possession and use are offences. The supplied sources describe penalties for possession, but do not specify how Thai law treats magic truffles or sclerotia, spores, or grow kits. They do not establish that these items are lawful.
Unlicensed sale, production, import, and export are prohibited. Informal sales reported in tourist areas do not make them lawful. The sources describe licensing for limited institutional purposes, not retail sales.
The sources describe a restricted licensing route for treatment and research, introduced through 2024 and 2025 measures. They do not show an approved formulation or an operating patient-access program, so they do not establish ordinary clinical access. One source gives a different account of the timing and approval requirements.
Visitors should not treat informal availability, menus, or retreat offers as legal permission. The sources describe possession and use as offences and report penalties; they do not identify a lawful recreational or tourist-access route.
