I’m that person who goes to places and sees nothing (count me as the only person to visit Phuket island and not see a single beach). Of course it’s not possible to see nothing, but as far as the big attractions go I’ve seen enough temples to last a lifetime…
Vegan in Thailand
Bangkok Vegan: May Veggie Home
May Veggie Home mayveggiehome.com 8/3 Asoke-Sukhumvit Intersection, Ratchadapisek Road Khlong Toei Bangkok, 10110 Thailand May Veggie Home has been around for awhile, operating only recently in a bright, new location practically next to Asoke BTS station. Prior to their new digs they had another cool little spot along off Sukhumvit,…
Cats, Terrapins, and Vegetarian food at The Atlanta Hotel Bangkok
The Atlanta hotel has been described as a hotel of devoted returnees, a flashback to a time forgotten. What comes to mind when I walk through the foyer are these return guests, patrons for decades, mumbling “they just don’t make them like this any more.” There is no yard as…
Some vegan Bangkok eats and treats
Less with the words and more with the photos! Here are some snaps and vids of vegan finds around Bangkok during the 2014 Thailand Vegetarian Festival. MBK Center Vegan Stalls Most shopping centres in Bangkok (and there are plenty) put on some sort of spread or event related to the…
An Outsider’s Perspective on the Phuket Vegetarian Festival
Thailand has been my destination of choice for an R&R foodie holiday for years, and on multiple occasions I’ve landed in Bangkok to enjoy the national vegetarian festival (also known as nine emperor gods festival and the jay festival). Phuket is reknown as the centre of this nationwide vegan food…
Traveling Vegan in Thailand
My first steps on Thai soil occurred in the autumn of 2003, fresh out of university, when a friend said “come with me.” Okay, why not? I knew everything back then, but in hindsight not so much. Especially when it came to food. Yes, I was that tourist who ordered…
Vegan Mofo 2014: Thai Food and Travel
Hello Vegan Mofo 2014! I am all up in you and you are already time-sucking my life in all the best ways. September is the annual vegan month of food, and this year the theme I’ve chosen is – surprise, surprise – Thai food and travel. Yes, I already write…
Vegan Sorbet and Ice Cream in Bangkok & Chiang Mai
I first discovered iBerry, a Thai ice cream chain, several years ago after having lunch with a friend in Bangkok’s Siam Paragon shopping centre. As he speaks Thai, he was able to ascertain all of the vegan options. Score! All of the sorbets. There are several iBerry outlets in Bangkok…
Another BKK Central World Vegetarian Find
One thing I really learned during last year’s Jay festival is just how much omni restaurants go out of their way to provide a vegetarian menu for the festival’s duration. When I decided to go to Nara, it was a treat after spending many evenings on Yaowarat in Bangkok’s Chinatown, battling the…
Kwan Imm Jae Suki-Tastic!
Kwan Imm Jae has sadly closed. This place got some pretty outstanding reviews elsewhere, mainly due to their extensive suki menu (and is is mahoosive), and sure enough when I went inside it was so jam packed that I had to stand around for space to sit. I’m not sure…
Koko Siam, a central vegan option
Firstly, I apologise for the lack of pictures. You can blame my chatty companion. Distractions. Koko is a cute and stylish little place which is clearly popular with the lunch set, but despite the custom moving fast the atmosphere is still friendly. While I have only visited this establishment once, and…
Lunch at Suan Plu Mangsawirat
Suan Plu Mangsawirat Vegan Canteen Suan Plu Mangsawirat on Happy Cow 455/26 Soi Prasat Court, Soi Sathorn 3 Thon Buri Bangkok Thailand One thing is for sure, and that’s the fact that you can get a whole lot of food at this breakfast and lunch only canteen for a very…
