The third largest island in Thailand, Koh Chang has a rugged and mountainous interior, 67km of coastline including mangroves and sports a healthy coverage of old growth rainforest in it's interior.
As a stop on the infamous 'Hippie' or 'Banana Pancake' trail it has seen mass tourism since the 1960s and as such the local farmers have long grown potent ganja to satisfy both indigenous and tourist demand for Cannabis on the island.
Following an intuitive model of natural farming adapted to what amounts to squatting in a national park, the locals produce potent bud that is cured loosely, 'western' style and claim that cannabis in Ko Chang has a multiple century long history on the island. They estimate that there must be at least ten thousand cannabis plants being grown on the island at any time, most of it in on the Eastern side of the island, grown in open pollination and with the exception of a few plants here and there - all of it grown from seed produced on the island and located in the interior on the fringes where the rubber plantations meet the old-growth forest.
Our accession is from a grower on the Western slopes who grows a few hundred plants at a time in open pollination and is well known in the local community for always having the best weed on the island.
The plants grow vigorously and stretch hard, with big internodal distances. You can expect high yields on these with relatively dense nugs of super tasty, musky, incense like bud covered in trichomes.
These are a must have, Ko Chang will undoubtedly turn into a heirloom if it hasn't already very soon. With the incoming legislation allowing several Thai farmers to set up industrial hemp grows on the island, cannabis on this island is set to change forever!
