Golden Highland Thai
Also known as: Highland Thai, GHT
What is the Golden Highland Thai strain?
Golden Highland Thai is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its focused effects and carrot and citrus flavor profile.
Golden Highland Thai is a rare high-altitude landrace cannabis cultivar collected from the Doi Chang mountain range in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, at an elevation of 2,175 meters. This exceptional strain represents one of Thailand's finest cannabis genetics, sourced from the highlands near the Myanmar border and cultivated by various ethnic groups including the Lahu hill tribe. The strain may have originated through hybridization between Yunnanese hemp genetics and traditional Thai ganja landraces, creating a unique genetic profile distinct from the more common Thai-Lao genetics of northeastern Thailand's Mekong region. Golden Highland Thai is considered a 'grail strain' by collectors and is significantly different from typical Thai sativas in both appearance and effects, exhibiting broader leaflets than standard sativa-type Thai landraces and producing hollow stems with large, resinous bracts.
