Thai Stick Sakhon Nakhon
Also known as: Hang Kra Rog Phu Phan, Thai Stick, Phu Phan Thai Stick, Squirrel Tail
Thai Stick Sakhon Nakhon Strain Overview
Thai Stick Sakhon Nakhon is a preserved landrace sativa strain originating from the Phu Phan mountain range in Sakon Nakhon Province, northeastern Thailand. The strain derives its name from 'Hang Kra Rog' (meaning squirrel's tail in Thai) due to its characteristic large, bushy inflorescences that resemble a squirrel's tail, and 'Phu Phan' referring to the mountain range where it naturally grows. This ancient cannabis variety gained international recognition during the Vietnam War era (1960s-1970s) when American soldiers discovered it and began smuggling it to the United States in the form of 'Thai Sticks' - cannabis buds skewered on bamboo sticks, wrapped in fan leaves, and tied with hemp string. As a pure sativa landrace, it represents one of the four government-approved Thai cannabis strains officially recognized for cultivation and research. The strain is characterized by its tall stature (150-280cm), loose bud structure, low flower-to-leaf ratio, and distinctive fruity aroma reminiscent of ripe mangoes and soursop without the typical pungent cannabis smell.
