It is very easy to find vegan and vegetarian friendly food in Thailand, and Chiang Mai had some of the best places I found on my one month trip to Thailand. Most curries are vegan, and if you ask for dishes without egg, restaurants are usually very happy to comply. Check for fish sauce as well! Here is a vegan food guide to Chaing Mai, Thailand, including all of my favourite places.

The Best Vegan Food in Chiang Mai, Thailand


Vegan Society


Vegan Society is perfect for trying veganised traditional Thai dishes. I had a great pad see ew there.

Baan Lanna Thai Cuisine


Khao Soi, the staple dish of Chiang Mai, is usually not vegan. However, Baan Lanna Thai Cuisine is one of the places that has a vegan Khao Soi in Chiang Mai and it was amazing!

Writer’s Club


The setting of the Writer’s Club is worth it on its own. The restaurant looks like an old library and has lovely cosy decor with a homey atmosphere. The food was mostly Thai dishes and was great.

Lanna Square


Lanna Square is a night market which has loads of stalls. There is a specialised vegan and vegetarian one, but you can also find options at other stalls. It was a great vibe there with everyone eating in the middle and a stage for live music and performances. I went back several times.

Hopefully this gives you a few vegan food places to try in Chiang Mai. You won’t struggle if you go to any other restaurant though, just ask :)
