Thailand, the land of smiles, is a place full of wonders and its capital city of Bangkok is the wonderful heart of the country. It is interesting to note that this city with 50 districts is pulsing with a lot of energy from the traditional, as seen from its numerous number of religious temples and Asian cultural customs, to the very modern skyscrapers and western influences. Hence, finding vegetarian food in Bangkok, wasn’t a difficult task at all.

Thailand, the land of smile that never fail to amaze you! 🙂

This mix of east and west is strongly felt in Bangkok and it is no wonder this city that is so full of life and has always been in the list of top places to visit in Asia.

Thailand is a vibrant and colourful city, hunting vegetarian food wasn’t a difficult task at all! 🙂

Vegetarian Food In Bangkok Thailand You Shouldn’t Miss!

#1 May Veggie Home

Located near Terminal 21 (a shopping mall in Bangkok) at the intersection of Asoke and Sukhumvit intersection, this cosy restaurant is a gem. I have heard many great reviews and recommendations from my friends before my trip. Many people have said that this is one of the best vegetarian food in Bangkok, Thailand.

There were far too many choices in this restaurant, it’s hard to try everything. So I ask the waitress for some recommendations and boy was I pleasantly surprised. Here are some of the food I have tried. Check out my YouTube video to see which food items are my highly recommended choices! 🙂

#2 Maeklong Train Market

A must visit in the outskirts of Bangkok city to see this unique market that is situated in the middle of a railway track. This popular tourist spot allows you to see the set up/shifting of market wares every time a train comes into the station. Popular food items that I would recommend here which is suitable for vegetarians would be the Thai coconut milk custard!  This coconut milk custard was surprisingly delicious. Do not judge a book by its cover! The pudding-like custard has a very strong coconut milk fragrance. Calling all Coconut lovers, for SURE this won’t disappoint you! Yummm…

When the train approaches, stall owners scrambles few times daily to make way for the train!

After the train passed by, things went back to normal immediately!

The train passes through this railway 4 times, 2 way each! Which means 8 times they need to scramble daily to make way for the train.

Many merchanise ranged from vegetables, meat and souvenirs for tourists!

#3 Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

Another popular destination on the outskirts of the main city. The original floating market along the Mekong river back in the days when Thailand had many villages near the river. A trip to Bangkok Thailand is not complete without visiting the floating market. There are more authentic floating market visited by the locals other than Damnoen Saduak. But over here, it’s more colourful, hence it is more Insta-worthy, but definitely more commercialise than other  local floating markets. So it really depends on what you want to see.

At this floating market, there were a few vegetarian options. Some offered fried noodles with vegetables. Because I was very full from a heavy lunch, I only sourced for the desserts in this place! Over here, you must definitely try the coconut pancake, made from coconut flesh and milk. It’s very different from the pancake we tried in other areas.

The fascinating Thai floating market along Mekong river!

Many merchandise on the floating market, a bit too commercialise for me

Coconut pancake is delicious and you can grab it from the floating market

Remember to bargain for anything on the floating market. Buy something you think is worth paying! 🙂

A new way of shopping 🙂

Bonus Tip: Remember to wear sunshades and apply sunscreens, it can be really hot! haha

Address: Damnoen Saduak, Damnoen Saduak District, Ratchaburi 70130, Thailand

#4 Veganerie Concept

A modern vegetarian restaurant that serves a good mix of western cuisine and Asian Thai. The restaurant is situated in a nice convenient location, smack in the middle of the crazy Sukhumvit.

One of the dish, which is not shown here but on my YouTube video is the Vegan Fried Chicken Combo – Vegan fried chicken with fries. They cleverly use mushroom stalks and combine it with flour to create the vegan fried “chicken”. Kinda interesting. Very different from using another common ingredients used in the creation of vegetarian/vegan fried chicken – the king oyster mushroom.

#5 Talad Neon Night Market

One of the newer night market in a city filled with night markets. The Talad Neon Night Market is an interesting place to visit for shopping, food and nightlife. Over here, I would definitely recommend the coconut smoothie. I got the ice cream and my videographer got the smoothie. I was thinking that the coconut ice cream should be a more popular dessert item in Bangkok, Thailand. But little did I know that the smoothie would actually taste much better than the ice cream. So in the end, we ended up fighting over the smoothie. haha

#8 Koko Thai & Vegetarian

Koko Thai & Vegetarian is a cool and small restaurant located near Little Zoo Cafe (another famous cafe with many cute little animals). Kindly note, this restaurant is not a 100% vegetarian restaurant. We only found out shortly after we entered this restaurant. But to give them credit, they do have quite an extensive amount of vegetarian dishes in their separate vegetarian menu.

Heres my recommendation in KoKo Vegetarian

#9 Terminal 21 Shopping Mall

One of the newer shopping malls in a city filled with shopping malls, Terminal 21’s concept is very enticing to a traveller like me as their layout is based on an around the world theme. Each floor has its own unique country identity and is a great spot for photos.

Even the Terminal 21 security also look so cool! haha

Hollywood, USA at Terminal 21

Chinatown at Terminal 21

San Franciso at Terminal 21! Cant believe they brought the Golden Gate Bridge over to the mall! haha

London Bus at Terminal 21

Tokyo at Terminal 21

Rome at Terminal 21

After travelling around the world, you need to find a place to eat! Come and check out A&W!!! What fascinates me (probably is a childhood thing) is the waffles ice cream and the root beer float. This time round, why this made it here, is because of the waffles ice cream in a cup! Yea, everything inside a cup! You don’t have to choose between using a cone or a cup to hold your ice cream anymore! haha

A&W Waffle Ice Cream In The Cup

Address: 88 Soi Sukhumvit 19, Khwaeng Khlong Toei Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

#10 Asiatique Night Market

The Asiatique is one of the largest night market in Bangkok. Its so huge that I don’t think anyone can finish seeing everything it has to offer in one evening. Facing the Chao Phraya River and Charoen Krung Road, the Asiatique night market offers a night shopping experience in a bazaar by the river. This night market comprises of over 1500 boutiques and 40 restaurants housed under a huge replica warehouse complex. Shopping here makes me feel really comfortable due to the sea breezes. 🙂

Of course there are some vegetarian options from the street vendors and restaurants. One of my favourite and must mentioned dish is the Vegetarian Arriabiata from Pizza Hut. I always love spicy pasta, and I chance upon this dish from Pizza Hut at the Asiatique outlet and fell in love immediately! The chef cleverly made use of the spices and chilli with thick tomatoes and Arriabiata sauce. Instead of using a penne pasta, they used spaghetti. I really loved it! I am not sure if this dish will be the same across all Pizza Hut outlets.

Being a big fan of Thai Iced Tea, I made another excellent discovery at the Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut’s Thai Iced Milk Tea was special because they used frozen brown sugar iced cubes instead of mixing everything together beforehand. All you need to do is to pour the milk tea into the frozen brown sugar ice cubes and it would melt and create a delicious beverage. Please try this if you visiting Asiatique Riverfront and let me know if you like it like I did. This Pizza hut is amazing! haha

Vegetarian Arrabiata Pasta – Sugar, basil, red pepper, tomato paste, lemon juice, italian seasoning, black pepper, parsley, chilli, and cheese

Pizza Hut Thai Milk Tea – Thai black tea, brown sugar ice cubes, milk and condensed milk

Pour the Thai Milk Tea into the brown sugar iced cubes, it will melt the ice cubes and form a delicious cold ice milk tea!

Address: 2194 Charoen Krung Rd, Khwaeng Wat Phraya Krai, Khet Bang Kho Laem, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10120, Thailand

Open Daily: 5pm – 12am
