Check out our map to get a better look at our top picks for vegan restaurants in Bangkok.

Broccoli Revolution

Broccoli Revolution is one of the most popular vegan spots in the city. Conveniently located near the Thong Lor skytrain station, it’s also one of the easiest to get to if you’re staying in the popular Sukhumvit neighborhood. Here, the emphasis is on fresh, quality food. They’re committed to being eco-friendly, and give customers the option of using morning glory stems as straws to cut down on plastic. A highlight of their menu is the broccoli quinoa burger, which is served on a charcoal bun with avocado and mango salsa and a side of root vegetable fries. For refreshments, they also have a cold-pressed juice bar.  120‎฿ – 250‎฿

Bonita Cafe and Social Club

Bonita Cafe and Social Club is run by a couple named K and Neung, who are both ultra-running enthusiasts. As you walk in, you’re met with a wall of race photos, trophies and other memorabilia, and the Bonita Cafe menu even has some items named after races they’ve run. However, you don’t need to be a marathon runner to appreciate this place. This cute, homely little cafe in Silom is packed with charm. Their most popular dish is their teriyaki tofu burger, but their vegan full-English breakfast is also worth a try. They have a few desserts, too. Their whole-wheat pancakes, chocolate mousse, cheesecake and banana sherbet are bound to satisfy any vegan’s sweet tooth. 70‎฿ – 280‎฿

Loving Hut

If you’re a vegan traveler, you’ve probably seen Loving Hut before. This chain stretches all around the world, with branches in Asia, America and Europe. In Bangkok alone, there are three different ones. The menu is extensive, with mostly Thai or Vietnamese dishes. All of them are very reasonably priced, so you can eat to your heart’s content here. You can get vegan versions of some of your favorite Thai foods, like Tom Kha, Larb and spring rolls. There are also some vegan nuggets, which are made from deep-fried tofu and drizzled in tamarind sauce. 60‎฿ – 270‎฿

Mango

If you’re staying in the backpacker haven of Khao San Road, Mango will be the one of the closest vegan restaurants to you. This place certainly caters to the vegan backpacking crowd, with a huge range of delights on the menu. For breakfast, there’s the cacao granola smoothie bowl or the gluten-free banana pancakes with coconut sauce. For lunch and dinner, try the falafel burger with mango salsa, the chickpea curry, the pesto pasta, or the vegetable and quinoa shaomai. If you’re feeling a little adventurous, there’s even a durian curry you can try! This place has consistently good reviews and is a favorite amongst the backpacker crowd. As an added bonus, it also doubles as an art gallery. The owners are cat lovers, so you’re likely to find some rescued cats wandering around the place, too. 100‎฿ – 300‎฿

May Kaidee

May Kaidee has several restaurants in Bangkok and Chiang Mai, as well as a cooking school for those who want to learn how to make their delicious vegan dishes for themselves. Such dishes include curried fried rice, pumpkin hummus, tempura tofu, and black sticky rice with mango and banana. 120‎฿ – 250‎฿

May Veggie Home

May Veggie Home is a charming vegan restaurant in the center of the city. The menu includes vegan version of lots of different Thai dishes, including pad Thai spring rolls, khao soi, and various curries. There’s also some Vietnamese and Japanese options, like pho, gyoza and katsu curry. If you’re looking for something a little more Western, you can try their burger and fries or spaghetti dishes. They offer lots of different mock meats, but if you’re not into that, you can switch them for veggies instead. For dessert,  check out the soy-based or coconut milk vegan ice cream or some locally-made vegan cupcakes. 79‎฿ – 220‎฿

Nourish

Nourish is a brand new plant-based cafe that’s opened in the Onnut area of Bangkok. It’s placed on the second floor of a martial arts gym, so you might find yourself watching some MMA or BJJ lessons while you eat! It’s a small, cute place with a friendly feel, and all of the food is delicious. They have a range of vegan bowls and wraps, and one of the only pulled jackfruit burgers in the city. They also offer a few sweet treats, like Florentines, protein balls and pancakes. If you’re looking for some guilt-free food to fit into your diet, this is the place for you! 120‎฿ – 340‎฿

Rasayana

Want your food to be raw as well as vegan? If so, Rasayana is the perfect place! It’s a holistic health retreat nestled in the heart of the city, with a raw food cafe that’s open to everyone. As well as being completely vegan, their entire menu is also gluten-free, with unprocessed and unpasteurized ingredients. This means you can enjoy all the nutrients and health benefits that their food has to offer. To start, they have vegan sushi rolls, which can be served with mock salmon or veggies. There’s also a hummus and guacamole platter, taco cups, and tomatoes stuffed with pate. Their main dishes include a mushroom burger, eggplant lasagna, nut loaf, and a Hawaiian pizza. All of their food is packed with flavor, including their delectable desserts! 180฿ – 220฿

So Vegan

Some of the best eateries in Bangkok are little street stalls, where the food is already prepared and ready to be served. However, many of the dishes at these places usually contain meat. So Vegan provides some plant-based options for those who want some vegan food on the go. It’s a newly-opened stall in the basement of Onnut’s Century Mall, which offers around 15 dishes to choose from. Simply pick out which ones you like, and they’ll serve it to you in a box with some brown rice. If you like, they can prepare some fresh deep-fried tofu, spring rolls or shaomai for you, too. This is one of the cheapest vegan places around, with two dishes and rice coming to only 50 baht! 50฿ – 150฿

Veganerie Concept

Veganerie Concept is an absolute must for any vegan passing through Bangkok. This place burst onto the scene a couple of years ago and quickly became so popular that several other branches started popping up around the city. It’s a beautiful cafe situated at the back of Benjasiri park, filled with greenery, artwork and positive messages about veganism. In fact, the ambiance makes it perfect for a romantic vegan date. Their food is to-die-for, and as well as providing healthy dishes like zoodles, smoothie bowls, wraps and vegetable curries, they also have some incredible vegan junk food! The ‘fried chicken’ and BBQ ‘pulled pork’ burger which are both made from mushrooms, are particular highlights. They’ve mastered the balance of texture and taste, so even meat eaters can enjoy these dishes. You can’t visit without trying one of their amazing smoothies or frappes. There’s a huge selection, including a peanut butter and jelly, mint chocolate chip and a dark chocolate brownie one. Each one is topped with a delightful dollop of whipped coconut cream. Speaking of sweets, this place has some great desserts, too.  Brownies, waffles, red velvet, cinnamon rolls, cookies, it’s all there! Veganerie certainly isn’t the cheapest vegan place in Bangkok, but it’s most definitely worth it. 240฿ – 310฿

The post 10 Vegan Restaurants You’ve Got to Try in Bangkok appeared first on VegansBaby.

As part of our research for our upcoming vegan tour of Thailand, we’ve been spending more time devouring all the food Chiang Mai has to offer. Where to get the best vegan food in Chiang Mai? Check out this round-up of some of our top  vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants in Chiang Mai (please note, prices are not street food prices unless noted, they are between $5 – $10 for most dishes).

PS — before you head to Thailand, take a minute to learn about how the elephants are treated. We spent years working with Save Elephant Foundation learning about the realities of elephants used for tourism.

TL;DR: here’s a map with our favorite vegan food in Chiang Mai.

Pure Vegan Heaven

This open-air restaurant features a full vegan menu packed with options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chow down at Pure Vegan Heaven on western eats like sweet potato pancakes or a heaping falafel pita or order up one of their fresh fruit juices (we dig the turmeric ginger lemonade). Don’t forget to save room for dessert — their chocolate pudding is divine.

Pure Vegan Heaven also has Thai food, as well as raw eats. We ate here a lot. And could have eaten here every day if it wasn’t for the fact that there were so many other places to discover. This spot is a gem and features one of the most creative and flavorful whole plant food menus in the city. Opened in December 2017, make sure to swing by here at least once. If not a million times. Nimmana Haeminda Rd Lane 11

By Hand Pizza Cafe

Need a break from Thai food? By Hand Pizza, located down a tiny soi in the Old City is your answer. Arrive early — although it’s got quite a few seats, By Hand Pizza is a popular spot. The artisan pizza restaurant taps into a wood-burning over to churn out these delicacies, including four vegan pies. Choose from the Vegan Veggie pizza with tomato sauce, artichokes, onions, eggplant, mushrooms and a crust sprinkled with pink Himalayan salt, the Red Alert with tomato sauce, sun-dried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, grated garlic, crushed red pepper and crushed cashews, the Green Vegan with pesto, eggplant, ‘shrooms, capers and salt on the crust or the Umami Vegan Dream covered with mushrooms, eggplant, tomatoes, pesto and tomato sauce, plus truffle oil. They don’t offer non-dairy cheese, but the flavors are pretty decent, so there’s no need. Plus, they have spicy 0live oil, which gives it a gorgeous little kick. 25 Moon Muang Rd Lane 7

Reform Kafe

Reform Kafe, a part of the vegetarian Green Tiger Guest House, is an entirely vegan restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. They’ve got western food like bruschetta, creamy fettucine, amazing fries, burgers and more, but what steals the show is their vegan take on the Northern Thai soup, Khao Soi. Nearly impossible to find vegan, this spicy coconut milk soup is a must-try. We also dig that their eats are largely organic and don’t have MSG (which is a thing in Thailand). 1/4 Sripoom Rd. Soi 7

Cat House

While you can swing over to Cat House for breakfast (they’ve got oatmeal and homemade bread), what you really need to try at this cafe is the lentil burrito available for lunch or dinner. Filled with black rice and salsa (tell them you’re vegan so they hold the cheese) and covered in a lentil curry, this is one of the more unique vegan dishes you’ll discover in Chiang Mai. Other vegan options here include hummus and falafel (there are better spots in town to get this, though, like the Falafelist), spaghetti and Tea Leaf Salad (we’ve got a different spot for this though that is around $1 to enjoy), as well as curries. 8/5 Chaiyapoom Soi 1

Good Souls Kitchen

Owned by the same folks at Reform Kafe, Good Souls Kitchen serves basically the same menu. But, offers something many restaurants in Chiang Mai don’t: walls and air-conditioning. Swing over for breakfast and grab a traditional Thai soup (love!) or tofu scramble, or chow down for lunch or dinner and enjoy their extensive offerings from soups, salads, curries and more to Western favorites like burgers and fries. Side note: their fries are amazing. Eat them. 8/5 Chaiyapoom Soi 1

Blue Diamond Breakfast Club

Blue Diamond Breakfast Club isn’t a vegan restaurant, but it’s ridiculously vegan friendly with heaps of veg options. Head here for a mix of Thai and Western vegan food, plus a large selection of vegan homemade breads, pastries, superfoods and other assorted vegan products like soaps and more. Known for its western breakfasts, our pick is the pancakes with cashews and carrots. Followed by a vegan croissant. Or vegan pastry. They’re a rarity in Thailand, so get ’em while you can! 35/1 Moonmuang Rd. Soi 9

Alice’s

It may be on Loi Kroh (infamous for the bar girls and lady boy scene), but Alice’s Organic is a vegan treasure. It’s menu focuses largely on vegan and raw vegan eats including desserts and chocolates. They’ve also got a heavy focus on health foods and super foods and offer kombucha, veggie proteins and more. Order up the raw zucchini spaghetti with walnut sauce or a super food salad. While others have mentioned a less than stellar experience, we never had a problem and loved the raw options.  74/1 Loi Kroh Rd.

Salad Concept

If you’re craving something light and western (they’ve got Thai eats, too, but you’ll pay more Western prices for them), then Salad Concept is the spot. With two locations — Nimman and on the east side of the moat towards the NE corner — Salad Concept offers a lot of vegan options in Chiang Mai. You can create your own salad, order one of the ones they feature on their menu, or try one of their few vegan dishes like the tofu steak with mac and cheese. They also have juices, super food shots and more. 49/9-10 Nimmanhamin Rd. Soi 13, 94 Chai Sri Poom Soi 1

Juicy 4 U

We have a super soft spot for Juicy 4 U since we ate there nearly every single weekday while working for Save Elephant Foundation/Elephant Nature Park with our dear friends Bounding Over Our Steps. The vegetarian/vegan restaurant offers gorgeous build-your-own sandwiches, smoothies, juice shots, desserts and more. And we love them all. They’ve even got a vegan khao soi. Also, check out their wall of juices they offer and the numerous health benefits for each. Ratchamanka 5

Vegan Heaven/Taste From Heaven

Owned by the same company, Vegan Heaven (multiple locations in Chiang Mai) and Taste From Heaven inside the moat offer similar menus that are heavy on the mock meats and veganized versions of non-vegan food. They’ve also got Thai eats, smoothies, teas and more goodness. There’s nothing incredibly special about the food, but if you’re looking for a vegan restaurant in Chiang Mai and some western vegan eats, these fit the bill. Taste From Heaven, 34/1 Ratmakka Rd.

Ice Love You Cafe

Make sure you make it over to Ice Love You at least once in Chiang Mai. This very vegan-friendly ice cream joint offers the largest variety of vegan ice cream we’ve ever seen with some exotic flavors (sadly, they won’t let you sample them). Order up the roti to go with it, and you’ve got a dessert meal. 5 N Rachadamnoen Rd. Soi 7

Nong Bee’s Burmese Restaurant and Library

This tiny little spot in Nimman has our favorite dish: the Burmese Tea Leaf Salad. And, unlike many of the other spots in town serving it up, this one is Thai prices so you’re looking at under $2 for this delicious salad. The restaurant cooks up Burmese and Thai food, but honestly, this is the only thing we ever order from there and a place we frequent. 28 Nimmanhaemin Rd. Soi 13

Free Bird Cafe

The first time we ever went to Free Bird Cafe, it was located in an adorable teak house. Times have changed and the non-profit restaurant aiding Burmese refugees has thankfully grown. Part shop, part workshop space and part restaurant, Free Bird Cafe serves all vegan food (with the exception of honey in a drink) and specializes in Burmese eats like our beloved Tea Leaf Salad. Breakfast is the sweet spot for this cafe, so head there and indulge in pancakes with a smoothie. 116 Maneenopparat Rd.

Anchan

We can’t have a vegan guide to Chiang Mai and leave out one of the OG’s of vegan dining — Anchan. The award-winning veggie restaurant features a rotating menu of Thai dishes and taps into local vendors. Make a reservation here, Anchan books up and the space isn’t huge. It’s worth the Western prices to treat yourself to a delicious vegan Thai meal here. Nimmana Haeminda, between soi 6 – 10

Other Suggestions

Bee Vegan – We didn’t get a chance to make it to this Thai spot, but have heard great things about it. It’s Thai prices, so if you’re on a budget and want vegan Thai food in Chiang Mai, it should be on your radar.

Chinese Vegetarian Shops – Located around town, look for yellow flags with red Chinese script. These Chinese vegetarian shops offer up budget-friendly vegan food like mushroom jerky that is one of the best things we’ve ever put in our mouths. For under $2 you can get a plate of vegan food. Our go-to is located in the Old City just up from Chiang Mai Gate.

Food Carts – The main food cart market is located at Chiang Mai Gate and is becoming increasingly vegan-friendly. Stop by Mrs. Pa’s fruit smoothie stand (she’s the best!) and then check out the carts with vegan options.

JJ Market – Every Sunday JJ Market takes place. Aside from the amazing shopping, they also have a massive food market with inexpensive produce (a heaving bag of passion fruit for under $2!!), as well as prepared foods that are vegan ranging from purple potato bread to spicy jackfruit and more.

Bonus: Where to Stay

Away Chiang Mai is one of the only vegetarian/vegan resorts in the city. Tucked into a soi off of Loi Kroh (where all the lady boy bars are and a quick walk to the Night Bazaar) and across from the Old City, Away Chiang Mai is a lush oasis featuring an organic restaurant, sparkling pool and gorgeous rooms with comfortable beds — a sleeping delicacy in Thailand!
