Amazing vegan cooking classes. - Edit
I don't know about the food in the restaurant, but the cooking classes they offer are super cheap compared to western prices, so much food is prepared, super nice friendly teacher you will fall in love with him. The plates you prepare are so delicious you will be amazed you did them yourself.
Super recommended!
Pros: Friendly, Tasty, Super cheap

Amazing curry, genuine service! - Edit
This place is very central we found it by accident and so glad we did. I had a green curry which was very tasty full of flavour and vegetables as opposed to faux meat! We also tried raw spring rolls which were great. Highly recommend.
Pros: Vegan options, Central, Clean

Great spot to eat and cook - Edit
Not only is the restaurant food amazing, cooking it yourself in one of the classes they offer is equally amazing and fun. Make sure you go hungry though.

Great cooking class - Edit
Did the half day cooking class here - and if that food was anything to go by the restaurant must be amazing. But we were so full from the class we didn't eat at the restaurant. Classes are upstairs in a nice AC room, the teacher was lovely and the dishes we made were all delicious. It's all very clean and organised - and someone else does all the chopping and washing up!
We made chilli paste, Tom yum soup, massaman, pad Thai, mango sticky rice, spring rolls with peanut sauce - all pretty easy and tasty. I think it's 1500 baht (book online) but you basically don't need to eat other than this for the whole day, you get a book with the recipes, free bottled water, and a really great class - we learnt about Thai cooking generally, herbs and spices, some Thai words. Highly recommend!
Pros: Great teacher , Delicious food , Good experience

Absolutely Fabulous - Edit
I absolutely love May Kaidees! While living in the Khoa San Road area of Bangkok I visited this place at least 3 times a week. The food is fresh and fast, the prices are very reasonable (nothing over 120 baht) and the Saturday buffet is a great treat if you can't make up your mind!
My favourite dishes were the fresh spring rolls served with a delicious peanut sauce, the masaman curry with hearty veg and potatoes and what was originally known as the 'legendary curry' which is served with red rice and is so filling.
There is also a great drink range available including Mays Famous Zinger, which is a mixture of fruit juices, pineapple, lime and chilli! It has quite a kick and is super yummy.
Highly recommended :)
Pros: Extensive Vegan Menu , Take Away Available, Very Friendly Staff
Cons: It's outside so the mozzys can be a pest

150 thb buffet on Saturday - Edit
We went to the all you can eat buffet that starts at 6pm every Saturday. It is great value for money in my opinion. Up for selection is rice, massaman curry (too spicy for me), green curry, noodles, papaya salad, Spring rolls, sushi, mango sticky rice, salad, tempura veg, sweet & sour, pumpkin hummus and more. I think all the food was vegan.
Note: this is only on at this (Tanao) location.
Pros: good value for money
Cons: food is out in the heat

Excellent They are professional cookers - Edit
It seems to me that is 100% vegan.
It is also a cooking school it seems they really know what they do. I asked for banana flower salad and is one of the most delicious dishes I ever tryes. With a perfect sause. For 100 bhat high quality food.
I asked them what dish they recommend me and they told me that one. And it really was great.
Also I had the spring rolls amazing too.
I just States in the city one one night. But if I would be linger I would go every day till I try all the menu. Totally recommended. It is a bit hidden as is in a parallel alley behind the burgerking.
I add pictures of the dishes...
Also I add pictures with their story.
Pros: Excellent quality cook, Abundant good price, Delicious
Cons: None

don't bother - Edit
on our first visit we were quite stupid and ordered the red curry for breakfast, it was delicious but if you order it wait for it to cool down because otherwise it will be very spicy.
the next day I had the Pumpkin hummus which was tasty but kinda boring paired with rice, would be nice as a small side but not as a main for 110 Baht. My Bf had the veggie tempura which was tasteless and with 100 Baht really expensive.
We also tried the homemade may kaidee teas but we didn't know you get a bottle of cold tea. they had a interesting taste nonetheless, but the ginger one is too spicy in my opinion.
all in all would not go again. you get better food and better prices elsewhere.
Cons: expensive, small portions

amazing curry! - Edit
I've had an amazing curry at May Kaidee's that didn't only look gorgeous but tasted delicious, too! It was well spiced and the rice that came along was excellent - food that meets Thai standards (taste-wise) and is served in a lovely place with nice staff.
Prices are ok, especially as the food is insanely tasty and of great quality, but a little high for Bangkok.
Unfortunately, I didn't hear about the cooking sessions in time to book one. Would love to do that some other time :)
Pros: taste & variety, location, service & staff
Cons: price

Thai veggie heaven - Edit
This is a great place to visit, with loads of options and it's all freshly made!
Had veg tempura which came with a delicious peanut sauce (and I'm normally not one for peanut sauce), Massaman curry and the pumpkin hummus was also amazing and seriously filling, there's a cook book available with loads of the recipes in which means I can try and recreate the dishes at home too ☺
I always have May's famous singer to drink which really helps relax my stomach after travelling around! There are also options so you can make your dishes vegan! ☺
Pros: Vegan friendly, Delicious
