Ban Phaeng is a landrace cannabis growing area in Ban Phaeng District, Nakhon Phanom Province, Thailand, in the Northeastern Thailand growing region. Its two accessions come from points 12.5 km apart, at 148 and 169 m.
Geography
Neither accession names a single village. OpenStreetMap places both points in Ban Phaeng District, on the Mekong terraces of northern Nakhon Phanom, north of Si Songkhram.
Cultivation
Both accessions are landrace general populations from the 2025 harvest, one of them from a farm named Amanda's Farm. The accessions come from fields still in use, in a region where others also grow the crop. Their seed is kept on the farm and obtained through informal local networks. The seed is sown directly from July to September and the crop harvested from December to March. The crop is grown in rotation, for recreation, medicine and food, and made into ganja. The plants flower in 20 to 24 weeks and stand 2 to 3 m tall. The local name is กัญชา.
Isabella collected both on the ISAN02 expedition. Both accessions are dated 2024.
