✨Thailand Vegan Cuisine✨
Hello and welcome to the Curry Cravings blog!!
Here, we will help you understand the essence of veganism and its significance in different countries of Asia.
Our star country for this week is Thailand!
Thailand's cuisine is naturally vegan, to the core, thanks to its unique spices and use of certain veggies in its dishes. Many common and popular dishes like Pad Thai and Thai green curry can be vegan with a few altercations. People should be careful when eating a vegan diet in Thailand, as there can be fish sauce, oyster sauce, or shrimp paste in the dishes sometimes.
Bangkok and Chiang Mai are the top vegan hotspots in Thailand, offering a wide variety of vegan restaurants, markets, and cafes. Bangkok, the bustling capital, features everything from upscale plant-based dining to delicious vegan street food. In contrast, Chiang Mai, nestled in the mountains, is a haven for vegan travelers, boasting an abundance of cozy vegan eateries, smoothie bars, and even plant-based cooking classes. Additionally, other destinations like Phuket and Koh Samui are experiencing a growing number of vegan options, particularly in areas popular with tourists. While traditional street food often includes meat or fish sauce, many vendors are willing to customize dishes to suit vegan preferences. Key phrases like "Mai Sai Nam Pla" (no fish sauce) or "Gin Jay" can be used to communicate dietary needs.
1. Som Tam Jay (Vegan Papaya Salad)
2. Tom Kha Jay (Vegan Coconut Soup)
3. Tom Yum Jay (Vegan Hot & Sour Soup)
5. Kuay Teow Lui Suan (Fresh Spring Rolls)
6. Gaeng Keow Wan Jay (Vegan Green Curry)
7. Gaeng Daeng Jay (Vegan Red Curry)
8. Massaman Curry Jay
9. Khao Pad Jay (Vegan Fried Rice)
10. Khao Soi Jay (Northern Thai Curry Noodles)
Many Thai dishes can be tailored to vegan preferences by asking for “Jay” versions or specifying no fish sauce (mai sai nam pla), no shrimp paste (mai sai gapi), and no egg (mai sai khai).
Thailand's vegan community is active, with events like vegan food festivals, workshops, and meet-ups happening regularly. Chiang Mai, in particular, is often considered a hub for vegan travelers due to its abundance of vegan eateries and wellness retreats.
Thailand's vegan culture is a dynamic blend of tradition and innovation, making it a haven for plant-based enthusiasts. Whether exploring street food markets or dining in upscale vegan restaurants, visitors can enjoy an incredible variety of vegan options.
