Thailand Where to eat vegan in Bangkok: 5 must-see addresses Bangkok, Travel to Thailand 5 (5)Eating vegan means giving up all animal products. But if you're here, I guess I'm not telling you anything new. And while there's a lot of meat, fish, and shrimp in Thai cuisine, it's entirely possible to eat vegan in Bangkok, even if it's easier to eat vegetarian than vegan.Editor's note: This is a guest post. Quentin is here to share his picks for restaurants in Bangkok. There are several great places to try vegan recipes, and he has gathered the 5 best in the Thai capital in this post.Not being myself a vegetarian and even less a vegan, I am necessarily less familiar with the subject. However, I would like to point out that my wife is a vegetarian, and having already received vegetarians or vegans, I was still able to test a few addresses including Ethos, mentioned in this article.I would add that at a time when vegetarianism is at least becoming an ecological cause in addition to defending animal welfare, it seems all the more important to me to talk about it here since statistically there are necessarily some among my readers and you can rightly ask yourself where to eat good purely vegetarian or vegan dishes in Bangkok (and beyond).
