DUCKY KUSH

In the heart of Phuket City, Ducky Kush is one step back in time and one step into the local downtown Phuket vibe. Enter through a long narrow hallway illuminated by soft purples and step into a packed little dispensary where the second biggest attraction is a barber shop you can see through the window in the back. Look up “shabby chic” in the dictionary and you should find a pic of Ducky Kush’s interior. The glass cases framed in stainless steel, the accessories packed into them stretch across both small walls behind, reminding this reporter of the first “head shops” visited as a lad prior to the radicalization of the war on drugs that illegalized them. But Ducky has what those shops of yesteryear did not: choice strains for purchase and friendly staff to help out.
