What to Expect
(as a Vegan in Bangkok)
As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is home to over 11 million people and roughly 30 million visitors each year. Many (vegan) travelers coming to Asia find themselves stopping in Bangkok not only for the beautiful attractions but also for the food.
So to briefly answer the question “Is Bangkok good for vegans?”, the answer is YES. Actually, the metro area has a great selection of fully vegan restaurants & vegan menu finds due to the growing plant-based trend. The city’s vibrant food scene comes with restaurants and street food vendors catering to various tastes and dietary needs; from traditional Thai dishes to international cuisines.
Good to Know:
Bangkok is totally vegan-friendly and many Thai dishes can be turned vegan as they’re made with whole-natural foods. Make sure to ask for vegan/vegetarian or “Jay” (= basically vegan in Thai). The yellow-on-red “Jay”-flag is often used to indicate a vegan menu.
Additionally, Bangkok as a metropolis is renowned for a wide selection of grocery stores and food boutiques, many of which sell amazing and unique vegan options and products. Making food yourself or buying snacks for longer trips on the road has no limits here. But even strolling around and browsing through vendors can be a great way to find delicious plant-based food.
