Some long-term Bangkok residents I know (who aren't even vegetarian) regularly have lunch from the veggie stall in the Pier 21 food court at Terminal 21. I wasn't so impressed, partly because I am vegan and this place is big on eggs, but it is good value in such a swish modern shopping mall. Terminal 21 has its own exit from the Asok Skytrain station (Sukhumvit line). Keep taking the escalators up through floors named after cities (Istanbul, London, etc), past the first San Francisco to the next one, San Francisco Pier 21. The fruit juice stand here is good (a whole varied fruit salad juiced for 39 baht) and in November 2013 you could mango and sticky rice with coconut milk for 35 baht, a bargain price from yesteryear. Try for seats alongside the display windows at the back of the food hall. Operates on a stored-value plastic card system, like the food court at the MBK shopping centre at National Stadium Skytrain.
