Tasty way to support the cause - Edit
In Chiang Mai we're spoiled for choice and I really enjoyed this place. I had the "zinger" drink. Tasty but lacked zing. Perhaps they gave me the falang version... Would be so nice if they cranked it with a bit more chilli and ginger. The banana leaf salad was awesome, as was the green curry. Healthy brown rice. It can get jammed in here pretty easily because it's just a 3 person family/team, so go early or have patience. Seating outside seemed nicer.
Pros: Delicious, Vegan vibe, Fruit juices too!
Cons: Falang prices (?), May have to wait awhile...

My partner and I have been in Chiang Mai for 4 days and we've been to May's 5 times. Despite saying "we should try something new..." for the last 3 days, we end up at Mays. This is such amazing food and at such a great price. PLEASE don't miss Mays, it's the best vegan place we've found in Thailand!
As one other reviewer mentioned, they do ask you to write your order down. I actually appreciate this, the day before I found May's I was charged 80 baht for a juice I THOUGHT was included in my meal, so I appreciate the opportunity to communicate clearly.
We recommend:
Khao Soi, fresh spring rolls, isaan vegetarian
Everything else we had was great, too!
Pros: food!

Amazing vegan cooking class - Edit
Being in Thailand, I HAD to take a cooking class. I chose May Kaidee's cooking class and it was SO worth it. The staff is generous of their time and portions, and we got a recipe book. We learned how to make many chili pastes, peanut sauce, curries, pad thai, soups and mango sticky rice. The class took about 4 1/2 hours and was very well organized. Absolutely worth it, the food was great :)
Pros: Great food, Well organized, Many recipes
Cons: A little expesive for SE Asia(but really worth it)

One of the best! - Edit
They have excellent thaifood and cheap prices. Tried many curries and all of them were very tasty and good. The place is simple but definitely worth to visit just because of the flavors. I love thaifood and this place is one of my favorites in Chiang Mai. They also make low in oil if you ask.
Pros: Amazing food, Very cheap, Traditional thai

Delicious food but a bit of an odd atmosphere - Edit
The food was delicious but we were a little disappointed by the atmosphere and service, maybe it's because we ate there quite late. We had to write our own order down and hand it in to them! If you want to try May Kaidee maybe try one of the Bangkok locations?

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
The menu is great, with a variety of options. Kind of a "messy" atmosphere as the cooking class is combined with the restaurant.
Pros: Very good prices
Cons: Messy atmosphere

Best Vegan Restaurant in Chiang Mai - Edit
I have tried many vegan restaurants in Chiang Mai and Thailand in general. May Kaidee is by far my absolute favourite!!
The dishes are perfect. There is nothing to be improved about anything I tried. Everything is super fresh and of amazing quality and taste.
I love the Seaweed Rolls and Fresh Spring Rolls especially with their Peanut Sauce!
Smoothies are amazing as well.
Very fair price and amazing quality food!!
Pros: great quality , fair price, friendly staff
Cons: -

one of the best vego restaurants in Chiang Mai - Edit
May Kaidee is a family operated resturant located in a small street behind the Amora Hotel near the Thapae Gate just outside of the old city ... the massaman curry is especially delicious ... in the 20 times I have been there I have never had a bad meal at this restaurant ... I completed a cooking class so I could enjoy similar food at home ... the staff speak good English and are super friendly ... food quality and quantity is good with moderate prices
Pros: nice family restaurant in quite street opposite a
Cons: some drinks have sugar added

Incredible vegan cooking class! - Edit
I took the afternoon cooking class and cannot recommend it enough. First of all, very easy to register online ahead of time and easy to find location. Nim was my instructor and she was wonderful, easy to understand and friendly and patient. I was the only student in my session. Veggies/ingredients were pre-chopped and laid out, allowing time for discussion of flavor profiles and to do the actual cooking. We cooked 8 completely vegan dishes total and I was given time to eat the dishes I prepared (or taste and put the rest into boxes to take home and eat later). Students are given a recipe booklet and are encouraged to take notes. Also instructed how to substitute/adjust ingredients based on taste preferences and ingredient availability back home. I had a lot of fun and learned so much! Oh yes, and the food was absolutely delicious.
Pros: Learn to cook multiple dishes, excellent instructi
Cons: None

amazing vegan food and cooking class - Edit
Absolutely love this place. My friend and I did the vegan cooking class run by the friendliest thai people. We learned how to make many of their menu items from scratch including curry paste, curries, papaya salad, pad thai, and mango sticky rice. All the food was amazing with fresh ingredients. Great just to eat out at as well.

The Best Food in Chiang Mai - Edit
I have eaten at 18 of the restaurants listed here for Chiang Mai. May Kaidee’s is my favorite place, by far. The Khao Soi is one of the most flavorful dishes I have eaten in any country I’ve visited. The pad see ew, the pad thai, the panang curry, etc. Every dish has been impeccable. I joked with the cook that she should have a cooking school and they actually do. Plus, they sell a cookbook. I bought it. The Thai tea is delicious, also. How many have I had? It is funny that the vegan pancakes are listed in the dessert section, I guess that would be accurate, since they are so tasty. Mine were covered in mango and bananas and smothered in blended dragon fruit. They were incredible.
The restaurant is on a quiet road near the famous Tha Phae Gate. The place is very humble, as are the owners. The first time I walked in, I noticed that both owners and a younger male worker were busy in the kitchen, so I just picked up a menu. No big deal. He then asked me what I wanted and I ordered the Pad See Ew. That was easy.
It is late July, so it is humid and every time I walk in, one of them turns on a fan and points it in my direction. I find them very considerate.
Seang and Nim both comprehend a fair amount of English. The place is vegan, unless you ask for eggs or honey. I love this place. I miss this place, as I am headed to Pai. They open at 10:00 a.m. as of this review date.
Pros: Delicious food, Considerate Owners, English Menu
Cons: No A/C, Closed on Sundays

Best vegetarian food - Edit
I had been to May Kaidee in Bangkok and was amazed, so I went to this one and it was just as good. Everything you could wish for with a long, diverse menu and excellent quality in every dish. I truly regret not taking the cooking class here, I will for sure if I ever come again!
Pros: high quality, fresh

when may Kaidee name come up RESPEK it - Edit
Ight hol up real quick I hadda come back in for anotha happy cow review for dat ass because I was feelin a bit on edge and disrespected after I peeped some reviews for this place and seen some heavy shit talk going on. First and second, to drop anything less than 5 stars on the head of young Kaidee (let it be known this ain't the OG may Kaidee it's her sister) is BLATANT DISRESPEK STRAIGHT UP. I chow down in this mofo every damn day so next time you got some irrelevant opinion about this restaurant come thru and say it to my face. Ain't none of these cats got enough beans in they Maracas to salsa dance wit the happy cow review gawd. PS the pumpkin hummus is a unique south East Asian spin on a middle eastern classic and is quite intriguing on the palette. PEACE.
