I'm not sure if there's a minimum drinking age, but you need to be 18 to buy alcohol (in theory anyway). Bars and clubs in Bangkok nowadays tend to have a 20+ age limit.

Marijuana is not legal in Thailand, and if caught by the police you're liable to have to bribe them substantial amounts of money (if you're lucky) or face a extended stay in the Bangkok Hilton (if you're unlucky). Thailand has very harsh drug laws, and personally I can't see why anyone would bother risking it
