"Chamlong's Cafe / Chamlong's Restaurant"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Thursday, April 16, 2009
	Review: Great food - a high % of raw - prepared & served by an army of happy Buddhist people - plus a well-stocked shop with many organic products. Well Greg my friends certainly all call it "Chamlong's Asoke Cafe" or "Chamlong's Restaurant". Calling it "Asoke" is not so helpful. "Chamlong's Asoke Vegetarian Restaurant" is best I think - I am sending in an update. "Chamlong's Vegetarian Restaurant is located near - but not inside - the Chatuchak Weekend Market. Away from the main road, it is located north of Kampaengphet 1 Rd and west of Kampaengphet 2 Rd (west of the market)."   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Go there early..."   My Rating

	Review: ...if you go at all. The time it took to find this restaurant was so long that it had just closed. Location tip: there is a BMS-station (not the big one, find the smaller one on the other, the opposite Chatuchak side of the road) near here. If you find it you are only a few steps away from the place. Good luck!   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Things have changed!"   My Rating

	Review: Things have changed, no one calls this Chamlongs café any more, firstly because its not Chamlongs. Its run by Santi Asok a Buddhist sect excommunicated from the national Thai Sangha (Buddhist organisational body) their food coupons refer to them selves as The Dharma Practitioneer Association. 2ndly it is not a café! It is in fact a fully fledged 40 table Thai veg restaurant, the countries leading example of this restaurant genre, the best in it's class. The restaurant is in the middle of it own car park in a simple purpose built single story structure. 3/4 of the building is allocated to a lik minded community of supporting and complementry health food shops, restaurants, whole food wholesalers, organic produce shops and an organic/whole/health food super market. Prices across the board are close to unbeatable from 10 baht up. This genre of Thai non commercial vegetarian is for the benefit of many, to experience wholesome food as espoused by Buddhist ideals, also the opportunity to experience wholesome community, behaviour, knowledge and mind. This is evidenced by the humble non air conditioned but cool breezy open plan lay out, the unique serve your self buffet style, no waiter, pay as you go by coupon, the in house health and Bhuddhist (Thai language) bookshop, clean up your dishes after your self when finished system and what appears to be cost price food. Simple authentic Thai vegetarian food, top quality natural whole food organic dishes of a broad range.   Pros: Organic * Cheap * Center of veg community Cons: A little difficult to find * *

"PLEASE someone visit & update this listing"   My Rating

	Review: My favorite eating place in the 90's up to 2002. A short (often muddy) walk from the south side of Jatujak Market through an area of antique furniture sellers / cheeky magazine sellers. Run by the "Santi Asoke" Buddhist Group. They used to be open every day from early morning until perhaps 2 p.m. - a really useful shop atached with organic veggies / dried & packaged foods. Several other veggie joints in the same group of buildings. The next time I visit bangkok it will be my first port of call.   Pros: * * Cons: * *
