Description:
The cannabis cultivated at Piromsuk Somjai Farm is a combination of classic Lao-Isan (Mekong) landrace, characterized by tall, elegant ‘sativa’ morphology, long internodal spacing, and various projects - all grown in different plots.
Two primary expressions are present in the landrace population:
Tiger Tail (Hang Suea): Known for its bold, robust structure, this phenotype has thicker colas, strong lateral branching, and a dense trichome coating. The terpene profile leans toward earthy spice, herbal musk, and deep, woody undertones. Psychoactive effects are strong, clear-headed, and energizing, making it a highly sought-after selection for daytime use.
Squirrel Tail (Hang Krarok): A more delicate, elongated phenotype, producing cascading, foxtail-like colas and lighter, airier flowers. The aroma is sweet and floral, often displaying tropical fruit, mango, and subtle herbal notes. The high is uplifting, euphoric, and long-lasting, reflecting the classic cerebral effects of Mekong sativas.
The overall terpene spectrum within the population ranges from earthy spice to bright, sweet fruit, with notable mango and herbal overtones. The psychoactive effects remain clean, stimulating, and paranoia-free, making this accession a quintessential representation of Isan’s historic cannabis heritage.
All of this farm’s projects are pollinated by nearby plots of bottlenecked landrace.

Context:
The Si Songkhram region in Nakhon Phanom was once one of the most renowned Thai-Stick producing areas during the golden era of Thai cannabis. In the 1970s and 1980s, the legendary Thai-Sticks—premium cannabis buds tied to skewers—were produced here, destined for international markets.
The region's strategic location along the Mekong River facilitated cross-border trade with Laos, where similar Lao-Isan landraces were grown. This historical exchange enriched the genetic diversity of the Si Songkhram landrace, making it one of the most sought-after Thai sativas in the world.
