Their lounges are designed to be comfortable and inviting, making it easy to decompress.

Curated Cannabis Strains

What sets Pakalolo apart is their commitment to

quality and variety, always offering 15 top-tier

cannabis strains at all 11 locations, each selected to

ensure the broad experience they can offer for all

their customers, from starter strains with lower THC

doses to some of the most potent flowers you can find

on the market – and you can trust their THC

percentage are accurate.

At Pakalolo, they take pride in doing real-time, in

house lab testing with all the cannabis flowers curated

to maintain transparency with their customers that

the products they want are exactly what they’re

getting. Their experienced team looks for well-trimmed

flowers with proper colors, visible trichomes, and a

strong fragrance profile, ensuring the flowers have

undergone proper curing before selection. They only

choose flowers from reputable growers known for

consistency and quality.

Pakalolo sets itself apart by marrying meticulous

cultivation practices with thoughtful product

presentation, recognizing that the journey from

cultivation to customer is important, they make sure

to be thorough in packaging that not only promises a

great experience but also protects and enhances the

appeal of their products. Their flower bags are

designed to shield against light and air, which can

degrade cannabinoids over time, each package

ensures that customers receive cannabis at its peak

freshness and potency. This transparency not only

builds trust but also empowers customers to make

informed decisions about their cannabis purchases.

Pakalolo's Trained Team

Pakalolo stands for their dedicated team of retail

specialists. These seasoned experts are more than

staff but passionate people whose goal is to enhance

every customer's journey, from seasoned veterans to

first-time explorers. Their specialists are trained to

ensure they have an in-depth understanding of their

selection of cannabis strains that often rotate for

fresh experiences for their regulars. Whether you're

seeking the uplifting effects of a sativa, the balanced

experience of a hybrid, or the relaxation of an indica,

their specialists can guide you to a perfect match for

your needs.

Pakalolo team understands that using cannabis is a

personal journey and not everyone is out for the most

intense experience. They are focused on helping

individuals find products that enhance their well-being

and enjoyment at their own pace.

Edibles and Craft Beers 

Their commitment to quality extends beyond

cannabis flowers to their selection of edibles.

Partnering with suppliers like Local Boys and Bloom,

Pakalolo offers a diverse range of tasty infused

edibles with cannabis ranging from chocolates,

gummies, and refreshing craft sodas, their edibles

promise a wide variety of potency depending on

what kind of vibe our customers are looking for.

Complementing their edibles is a lineup of local Thai

craft beers that celebrate the rich brewing scene in

Thailand. You can enjoy a huge selection of craft

beers from renowned brands such as Underdog,

Mardi Craft, Nonthaburi Brewing, Merry Rich Dog,

Mahanakhon, Chiang Mai Blossom, and Suntree

Brewing. Each beer is crafted with care and passion,

cannabis offerings. Whether you prefer the subtle

bitterness of an IPA with a citrusy sativa strain or

indica, our knowledgeable staff are here to guide

you in creating the perfect combination. They can

recommend pairings based on flavor profiles,

effects, and personal preferences. Additionally, they

have Happy Hours in all their locations, featuring a

Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion from 5PM to 8PM.

In-store Amenities 

All of Pakalolo’s 11 locations feature dedicated smoking

areas providing a comfortable space for customers to

medicate and enjoy their purchases on-site, removing the

hassle of having to find a place to enjoy cannabis. Whether

enjoying a solo session or sharing the moment with friends,

the smoking areas at Pakalolo are the perfect spots of chill.

For those looking to boost their high level, Pakalolo also

offers the use of a gravity bong with any flower purchase.

The Gravity bong is known for its powerful hits, patrons can

maximize the THC intake from their flowers, creating a more

intense experience. Another standout amenity at Pakalolo

that can’t be found anywhere else is their Qaroma device, a

cannabis system designed to offer the ultimate flower

vaporization experience. Unlike traditional bong usage, the

Qaroma vaporizes the THC in the cannabis without burning

any organic materials. This preserves the full spectrum of

flavors of the flower, providing a more nuanced experience.

The vapor produced by the Qaroma is also gentler on the

lungs, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a

smoother inhale.

Past Events

This past year, Pakalolo took strides in demonstrating their dedication to the cannabis community by participating in major events. These highlighted the company’s commitment to both recreational and medical cannabis, expanding their connections and gaining insights that will hopefully drive future innovations for the Cannabis scene in Thailand. They started at the Smile Land Music Festival 2024, known for its dynamic blend of music, culture, and cannabis. Following this, Pakalolo attended the prestigious Breeders Cannabis Cup 2024. This event is a cornerstone for those involved in cannabis cultivation and breeding. The company’s final significant engagement was at the CISW MedCann Festival International 2024. This event focuses on the medical use of cannabis, catching the attention of experts from around the world. By exploring groundbreaking advancements and sharing knowledge with leading experts, Pakalolo deepened its connection to medical cannabis research and its potential benefits for patients.

These three events enriched Pakalolo’s journey over the past year. They provided platforms for the company to connect with the broader cannabis community, share insights, and stay informed about the latest trends and innovations. Pakalolo’s active participation in these events reflects its ongoing commitment to both the recreational and medical cannabis sectors, reinforcing its role as a dedicated member of the cannabis community.

Pakalolo’s location serves as more than just a storefront; it's a hub of activity and engagement where customers can immerse themselves in unique experiences. They held their first internal event, "Pakalolo Omakase Night" this past May, a concept borrowed from Japanese cuisine where patrons trust the chef to select and serve them a variety of high-quality dishes. In this case, customers at Omakase Night are treated to a curated selection of Pakalolo's finest cannabis flowers, served with our Qaroma’s device that guarantees the full flavor of each strain.
