Hi Babi,

I've been couple of times to Bangkok (for short business stays). I have not found any proper veg*n restaurant, but I could find suitable food in the mid-level restaurants (either thai, japanese or italian). The best is when they speak English (not always the case), then you can discuss and they can adapt something for you. Most Thai people eat on the street, but this is always meat-based and no way to discuss if you don't know the Thai language. I had assumed many Thai would be vegetarian since this is a Buddhist country, but they don't seem to have a problem with eating animals... Sad

Otherwise, to answer the subject ( "where have u been?" ), I've been to many places. Not always easy to find veg*n food, but almost always managed. As a vegetarian, the best place I have visited is Taipei.

Cheers, Frank.

Oh, great and thank you! I found many restaurants and places by using this page, HappyCow. So now I know where to go (: Thank you any way!

Have you ever heard about Vegan passport? Look from here: [www.vegetarianguides.co.uk]
It helps a lot for me..!

Nice that you talk!

Of course, being on vacation, you will have time to go places (which was not really my case). But Bangkok is a large city and it is not always easy to find a place from its address, even for taxi drivers. So, allow for ample time...

Is it your first time in Thailand? Are you going to Bangkok only?

And thanks for the link to Vegan passport! I didn't know it.

Frank.

Hey, congratulations!!! I think Thailand is a very good destination for a honeymoon. I hope you will enjoy it. I don't know about Ko Phangan, but I heard that Chiang Mai is a very nice place.
Cheers, Frank.
