Is Kratom Legal in Thailand in 2025?

Thailand legalized kratom exports in 2025. Learn how Molybest leads as the first licensed Thai exporter with certified quality, traceability, and global compliance.

Here’s What You Need to Know
---------------------------------------------------------
Thailand has fully reformed its legal stance on kratom (Mitragyna speciosa). Once prohibited, it is now recognized as a regulated economic crop. As of 2025, kratom is legal for cultivation, possession, and export under government oversight.

This shift is a major milestone for international buyers and importers seeking reliable, transparent, and traceable kratom. At the heart of this development is Molybest — the first Thai company officially licensed by the ONCB and Ministry of Public Health to export kratom.

Thailand’s Road to Legal Kratom Export
---------------------------------------------------------
For decades, kratom was restricted under the 1979 Narcotics Act as a Category 5 narcotic. Despite this, it remained a staple in southern Thai communities.

In August 2021, kratom was decriminalized domestically, allowing legal cultivation. By late 2024, Thailand introduced a framework for exports, and in 2025 official licenses were granted.

Molybest was the first to qualify under these new rules, launching full-scale international exports.

What Legal Kratom Export Means for Importers
---------------------------------------------------------
The legalization of kratom exports brings new opportunities to global buyers. Importers now benefit from verified quality, full documentation, and traceable supply chains.

Molybest ensures every shipment is backed by export permits, third-party lab results, a Certificate of Origin, Phytosanitary Certificate, Certificate of Analysis (COA), and detailed batch reports.

Why Molybest Leads as a Licensed Exporter
---------------------------------------------------------
Molybest is a direct exporter, not a broker. We manage every step — from certified farms in Chumphon Province to GMP-compliant processing and final packaging.

Each batch undergoes independent lab testing to verify alkaloid levels, screen for heavy metals, and confirm microbial safety. Our strict standards guarantee compliance and transparency for every shipment.

How Thai Kratom Strengthens the Global Supply Chain
---------------------------------------------------------
Indonesia once dominated global kratom supply, but inconsistent regulations created risks for importers. Thailand now offers a secure alternative with legal exports, reliable documentation, and certified quality.

With Molybest, buyers receive kratom sourced from certified farms, supported by lot-specific lab testing and customs-ready paperwork. This makes it ideal for supplement brands, wellness companies, and herbal product developers requiring verified sourcing.


---------------------------------------------------------
A Turning Point for 2025
---------------------------------------------------------
The legalization of kratom exports marks a new era for the herbal industry. Producers, distributors, and consumers worldwide benefit from a supply chain that is legal, transparent, and safe.

Molybest is proud to be Thailand’s first licensed exporter and is ready to build lasting partnerships with businesses seeking authentic, fully compliant Thai kratom.
