Small vegetarian restaurant typical of Thailand, located just north of the Quan Ying shrine and the Coliseum shopping mall. No menu - just point to what you see and would like. Food is spicy. Also sells snacks for takeaway. Reported closed March 2022.

lovely food to no cost

We ate here two times and loved it.

It's as some others have pointed out not the cozyest place around but we still find the atmosphere nice and genuine.

Our last lunch was under 100 bath and we got super satisfied. We payed 100 anyways and left happy.

Pros: super cheep , nice staff

Buffet with lots of good choices!

Standard vegetarian buffet that had lots of choices including multiple curries. Rice 3 choices seemed to be 50 baht.

Beautiful people and food

Love taking food here.. Its tasty, priceworthy and served with smile. Many varieties, lot green herbs, salates as enhancer and given for free. One of the best vegan places I've seen so far in Thailand.

good and cheap

Did not understand what everything was but picked out two items that looked good to me. Was super pleased considering the cheap price of $35B and only 5-10 min walk from bus station.

Pros: yummy

Cons: be careful some items are very spicy, little to no English spoken

Happy Cow map location is CORRECT, as of Dec. 2017

This place is pretty good! Nothing to write home about, but tasty, nourishing food in a town without many options. I'm thankful for it, and happy to support such a place (even if it's not quite as good as Surat Vegetarian).

The food quality was par for Thai jay buffets, but the selection was actually broader than I expected - maybe 12-15 dishes to choose from (as opposed to the usual half-dozen). I got three with no rice, and paid 40BHT.

Regarding the digs, I was totally comfortable here. This is definitely not one of those fancy new vegan places that cater to moneyed travelers. It's just a normal little shop in a normal, gritty city in a relatively poor part of the world. Great family vibe, too - laughing kids, chatting adults.

Pros: Solid vegan food in a town of limited choices, Awesome cost / quality, Nice family vibe

how to find: check photos

Not where HappyCow map points. Or probably moved. Anyway, one jaay restaurant is near, but seems to be open between 6.00-14.00.

These photos and the map are for a completely different restaurant! As of December 2017, the official Happy Cow map listing is correct.

Unexpectedly Pleasing

There are a couple of 'jey' (vegan) stores in Surat Thani and this one is the best. For a province like this where veggie food is hard to find this one is surprisingly good! It's typical Thai style, so expect buffet laid out food and just point to what you want. No English spoken. The selection is good though and it isn't just standard food there are a whole load of snacks and drinks and even salapao (steamed bun things.) This place will probably save the day for you in a city like this. Their opening hours are quite long and they're open every day. It's not exactly the nicest of places to sit but you can't be fussy. It will be full of Thais eating too which is always a good sign.

Pros: Cheap, All vegan, Plenty of options

Cons: Tatty place to sit

Searched quickly for it at 4:05pm on a Thursday afternoon. Then gave up and walked 1km eastward to Surat Thani Vegetarian and ate very happily there.

The first veg resto in Surat Thani

Veg restaurants do exist in Surat, but they have a low profile. This is the best of the lot. There is not a great variety of food on offer, nor is it gourmet quality, but it is filling, and, the price cannot be beat. A few dollars for a full meal.

Pros: Tasty, Cheap, Location

Cons: tad grotty, small range of food, irregular hours, sometimes not open
