Okay - Edit
The paneng curry with tofu was okay but not the best I’ve had. Same with the spring rolls.

Pranzo perfetto in un posto local - Edit
La location non rimane particolarmente impressa ma i piatti decisamente si. Abbiamo preso fresh spring roll con avocado, tempeh con fagioli neri e zucca in latte di cocco e curry e una zuppa di curry e latte di cocco con verdure cotte. L'acqua è gratuita. I piatti sono abbondanti, buoni e freschi. I prezzi sono onestissimi.

Yummy and cheap. TELL THEM YOU'RE VEGAN - Edit
I have been here multiple times, and I've had curries, spring rolls, fried rice, and everything is pretty decent. Please specify you are vegan because they use shrimp paste in curries and other dishes!!!
Read morePros: Owner (Charlie) speaks great English , Tempeh is yum and homemade, Cheap and open and night
Cons: Curries use shrimp paste!!! , Always packed

Tell them you're vegan - Edit
On certain dishes that contained egg they were listed with that ingredient, however for the Pad See Ew it came with egg even though it wasn't listed to contain egg. So I guess you have to tell them specifically if you want to have a dish vegan.

My go to place in Pai - Edit
The quality of the food you get for the price is amazing. Their banana flower salad is incredibly tasty and highly addictive😄They also have healthy seasonal options, always a great choice. Service is friendly and fast, the vibe is very nice as well. It is open for dinner, while most vegan places in Pai close early.

Genuine thai food - Edit
Had the vegan Khao soi (ask for rice noodles instead of egg noodles). The flavour wasn’t bad, but there were no veggies in the soup, just some leek. Also didn’t get any fried noodles on top, maybe they couldn’t be made vegan. The mulberry fruit juice shake had a nice flavor, a bit too much ice, be sure to ask for no straw as they only have plastic ones. Very nice staff!
Read morePros: Nice staff, cheap prices
Cons: Plastic straws

Great Late Place - Edit
In Pai, all the vegetarian and vegan cafes are closed at night. So you'll need to pick one that is veg-friendly. I found this place to be one of the best, especially if you like Thai food.
Read moreThey have all the usual Thai dishes that you might expect, all with a vegetarian version which is usually vegan by default, apart from the Khao Soi which is made with egg noodles.
The dishes are also a bit more interesting than just the usual curries for example they have banana blossom salad and tofu tempura.
They also have some vegan chocolate which you must try! It finishes a meal off perfectly.

Great place to grab a bite late - Edit
Great flavors and some dishes I haven't seen on menus anywhere else yet. Has tofu as an option when you have to pick your protein eventhough there are some dishes which come with meat standard. Food can be ordered until 21:15.
Read morePros: plenty vegan optiona, not just the basic dishes, great flavors

try the Khao Soi - Edit
We ordered Khao Soi, a kind of curry noodle soup from the north of Thailand with crispy noodles and were impressed, something completely different and very tasty! We also ate the green curry, which was also very delicious. In addition a mint lime smoothie which was very refreshing, everything absolutely recommendable. And very cheap too.

last minute decision - Edit
In Pai for the weekend and walked the walking street that’s full of delicious vegan choices. Skipped all this and went to Charlie & Lek’s. They were very busy and we got the last table of the night. We ordered the khao Soi with tofu, tempura vegetables and garden salad rice rolls. The ingredients were very fresh, tempura nice, light and crunchy and the khao Soi satisfyingly filling. Delicious meal and definitely worth a visit.

Salad bar is an incredible deal - Edit
I have never ordered off the menu because the salad bar always calls my name. At 70b you can fill up a huge plate to the brim with fresh raw veggies and steamed root vegetables and beans. They have vegan sauces. It’s hard for me to justify going elsewhere because I get a huge nutritious meal here for so cheap.

Good food but would rather go somewhere else - Edit
If you're in a pinch this place is great. Atmosphere is okay, and the service isn't great because the kitchen seems so far in the back - away from the entrance - so they don't come to check on you. Grab a menu and seat yourself!
Read moreFood was nothing special and would have rather drove 5 more minutes to somewhere better.

red curry was surprisingly good - Edit
When I walked into the restaraunt, it didn't feel like it was going to be great. But hey, it was 3:30 and everywhere else was closed. Beggars can't be choosers.
Read moreOrdered the red curry with red rice, and hot dam it was delish. I could have ordered another, especially at 50ish baht! (I forgot the price, probably because of good flavour overload)
My lovely girlfriend ordered a pad Thai, and it was good but nothing special. No peanuts or lime supplied, so the flavour was at 50%... Flavour didn't even break a sweat. Lazy flavour. Get a job.
Anyway, curry was surprisingly good. Get it (if you come here).
Pros: Red curry is yum-buns., Price is pretty dam good.
Cons: Atmosphere is average (at 3.30pm), Pad Thai was average.
