Most people just pass through Chiang Rai on their way to Laos (usually via slowboat!), so it isn’t as developed as a tourist destination as some other places in Thailand. That being said, there are several options for vegan and vegetarian food in Chiang Rai. Here is a vegan food guide to Chiang Rai, Thailand, including all my favourite places for vegan and vegetarian food that I tried during my two days there.

The Best Vegan Food in Chiang Rai, Thailand


Siam Corner


Siam Corner was a Thai place that had all of your staple Thai dishes like curries, noodles, and more. I had a great red curry, and they had loads of options on the menu.

Easyhouse


Really close to Siam Corner is Easyhouse. It’s a very similar restaurant but has great Thai food and plenty of vegan and veggie options.


Heaven Burger


If you’re looking for something Western, Heaven Burger will have options for you. They’ve got veggie burgers!

Chiang Rai Night Market


The night market in Chiang Rai has lots of great options for cheap food, and a lot is vegetarian and vegan friendly. It’s also a huge place to walk around, so I’d recommend exploring in the evening too.

As usual in Thailand, you won’t struggle to find vegan and veggie friendly food. I hope these provide a few recommendations so you have somewhere to start in Chiang Rai.
