Chiang Rai Night Bazaar jay stalls
Central
Several yellow-flagged strict vegetarian stalls at the night market.
40-80 THBOpen from 18:00
Tips
- The Night Bazaar's yellow-flagged jay stalls are the least expensive pick here, at 40-80 THB, though they only open from 18:00 onwards.
- Pu Lay Vegetarian Restaurant only serves lunch, so plan a midday visit rather than dinner.
- Sawanbondin Home & Garden sits outside the town centre — treat it as a short day trip rather than a quick stop.
- Chivit Thamma Da doesn't run a separate vegan menu, so mention it when ordering and staff will point you to the marked dishes.
- The jay stalls and Pu Lay are both under 120 THB a dish; Sawanbondin and Chivit Thamma Da cost two to three times that for a sit-down meal.
