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.
