The Abhaibhubejhr Day Spa includes Thailand's first cannabis restaurant, serving healthy Thai food prepared with cannabis ingredients, after the Thai government legalized the use of most parts of marijuana and hemp plants in cosmetics and food. Based on Thai traditional folk wisdom, marijuana has been used as spice and herbal treatment for centuries. Abhaibhubejhr Day Spa is part of the Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital in Prachin Buri, home to the country's first medicinal marijuana clinic. In 2018 Thailand became the first government in South East Asia to legalize cannabis for medical use and research purposes. (Photo by Rungroj Yongrit/EPA/EFE)
