About
Bang Na doesn't show up in most Bangkok travel guides, and that's the point. This is east Bangkok — residential, local, the kind of neighbourhood where the people around you are commuters and residents rather than tourists working through a checklist. Coughing Apes planted itself here deliberately, and the crowd it's built reflects that choice. The vibe is social in a way that feels genuine rather than manufactured. There's a PlayStation running, music on, and a standing invitation to bring your own food, grab a beer from the bar, and stay as long as you like. The bongs are out, the seating is comfortable, and nobody's rushing you to make a decision and move on. The mix of people on any given evening tends to be genuinely international — expats who've settled in the area, travellers who've heard about it, locals who've made it their regular — and the kind of easy conversation that comes from that combination is a big part of why people come back. The cannabis selection leans on Thai-grown flower sourced from local growers, with pricing that covers both budget-friendly options and top-shelf strains depending on what you're after. It's not trying to be a luxury dispensary — it's trying to be a good local one, and it succeeds at that. For anyone staying in Bang Na, Bearing, or the eastern Sukhumvit corridor, Coughing Apes is the most characterful option in the area by some distance. Unlike many dispensaries that focus only on quick sales, this spot encourages guests to hang out and enjoy the space. Visitors can smoke inside using the shop’s bongs, play games on the PlayStation, listen to music, or simply unwind with friends. Guests are even welcome to bring their own food, and drinks like beer are available to make the experience feel more like a casual social lounge. The crowd is incredibly international, often bringing together travelers and locals from all over the world. This global mix of visitors creates a friendly and social environment that makes it easy to strike up conversations and meet new people. Coughing Apes also offers a wide selection of cannabis sourced from local Thai growers, with prices typically ranging from affordable options to premium strains. Whether you’re looking for budget-friendly buds or top-shelf flower, there’s usually something for every preference. For those searching for a relaxed cannabis lounge in Bangkok with a strong community vibe, Coughing Apes is a great place to unwind, enjoy local Thai cannabis, and connect with fellow travelers.
