HIGHLAND

Director Rawi Piriyapongsak takes viewers deep into Thailand’s monopoly issue during the transition to a free cannabis trade law in 2021. Despite legalization, restrictive conditions threaten to keep small-scale entrepreneurs from accessing opportunities—an issue that mirrors the long-standing struggles surrounding Thailand’s liquor laws.
HIGHLAND presents perspectives from key figures in the cannabis and craft beer industries, including:
  • The Cannabis Group, advocating for fair access to the market.
  • Taophipop Limjittrakarn, MP of the Move Forward Party, a vocal critic of restrictive alcohol and cannabis regulations.
  • Pol. Col. Dr. Wichit Saengklao (Phi Chit), founder of CHIT BEER, who questions the legitimacy of laws that favor big businesses while marginalizing small brewers and entrepreneurs.
