Northeastern Thailand (often called Isaan) is a cultivation region centered on the Khorat Plateau and its surrounding uplands. Cannabis persists across river corridors, rice-growing lowlands, and upland margins where elevation, water access, and local agrarian cycles structure planting and selection.
