Tips
- Anchan Vegetarian Restaurant's point-and-choose buffet is the cheapest option here at 100 THB a plate, and it's traditional Thai rather than Western-style vegan food.
- Reform Kafe gets queues by 11 AM, so arrive earlier if you want a seat for its raw and superfood bowls.
- Free Bird Cafe's 180 THB mains fund a Burmese refugee education programme, alongside its standard vegan menu.
- Goodsouls Kitchen on Ratchamanka runs all day, with burgers and pad thai alongside raw cakes and smoothies, if you want more variety than a set menu.
- Prices span 100 THB at Anchan to 250 THB at Reform Kafe — Anchan and Free Bird sit at the budget end, Goodsouls and Reform at the higher end.
