Best Veg in Patong Beach?

Mae Orothai is a bit of a walk from the strip and isn’t particularly charming, but it hqs some of my favorite food in Patong Beach.

The owner doesn’t speak much English. The idea of purchase rice and two or three sides. All vegetarian and delicious. Food is made spicy to taste.

Pros: All vegetarian, Delicious and spicy food, Inexpensive

Cons: Out of the way, Difficult to communicate without Thai language

Add more kind of food because there was so many little options I had to leave! And they all were spicy!

Pros: Vegan food, Cheap

Cons: Not a lot of variety of food

Yummy

Lots to choose from, very low price for the quality and a nice lady working there.
If you’re not into spicy just ask, they had at least 4 different non spicy dishes to choose from.
It was very tasty!

Amazing and cheap

We ate for 100 bat each an amazing plate of rice, veggies and different types of vegan meats and tofu. There are a couple of seats available to eat there but you can also order for take away (and it seems that via Foodpanda too). The lady is super nice - this place is a must!

Pros: Delicious, Cheap

Yummy cheap authentic

Trays of vegan curries, noodles,tofu,eggplant, etc. 30 B for 1 portion when I visited. Also sold vegan snacks, to go salads and sandwiches. Not a large area to dine in, so bring reusable containers to take to go (otherwise you get a plastic bag)

Pros: Lots of vegan options , To go

Cons: I don’t think you can dine in

Small Thai Style Vegan Cafe

Mae Orathai Vegetarian is a Thai style vegan cafe so you select the dishes that you want and if you want rice … currently limited seating inside so a table and chair were placed at the entrance for me … I ordered one vegetable dish, a tablespoon of the spicy curry and some fake meat … cost ฿50 all up … easy to find using Happy cow directions

Pros: standard food choices

Cons: Moderate price, not cheap

Lovely

I have been a few times this week. Tasty and all vegan so no need to worry about what you order. I simply gestured to what I wanted as my thai is no good.

Pros: Lots of options, Snacks too, Cheap

Cons: Runs out as the day goes on

Ok good value for money but were not transparent on priced

They changed the price at the till and charged the same as if we had an extra plate because we asked them to put a little bit more since they barely put anything. To be honest it was still so cheap, not complaining about the price but the principle of not being clear on pricing. They said 3 curries 50 bhat and turns out some of the curries had an extra charge of 50, 30... Still fine, still cheap and tasty.

Pros: The yellow curry is nice , Good value

Cons: Small curry portions

Tasty buffet but go early if you like hot food!

This is a standard vegan buffet place such as I have found in many places in Thailand. As with other buffet places, the set-up is very simple, and they provide water refill which is a great plus point for me.

They also have the common tendency to have a lot of very greasy fried options, and mock meat. However, I was pleased to find some options which were neither greasy nor mock-meat, and very delicious. Especially, they had the 'hed hom' mushrooms when I was there.

I went there twice in the afternoon and would say it's probably not worth it really, since the food was only lukewarm and they have no way of heating it.

One time I was there about an hour before their stated closing time, and all they had was cold food in plastic bags which they offered to put in a foam box for me. They were very accommodating to my explanation that I don't want to use plastic or foam, and offered to put the plastic bags in a paper bowl instead! But any environmentally-conscious Happy Cows may wish to try other places that don't have such a huge output of foam and plastic.

Pros: Tasty food, Free water refill, Friendly people

Cons: Lukewarm or cold in the afternoon, Lots of plastic and foam packaging , Lots of grease and mock meat

tasty Thai meal

unlike the other reviewers, I had ala carte (did not find the buffett menu). went twice, both days in the morning around 7am. The interior of the shop is clean, did not find any issues with hygiene.
Both spicy and non spicy options are available.
Owners speak decent English.

Difficult to locate the place , though. It is a relatively narrow shop front. Had to keep watching out for a yellow signboard.

Pros: Authentic Thai, Cheap

Cons: Difficult to locate

Cheap vegan food

Cheap buffet style vegan food. But portion sizes are small. I guess you get what you pay for here. It is fully vegan though, so nice to support the place!

When my sister and I went, we both had dodgy tummy’s that same night. So maybe hygiene isn’t the best, but hey, it’s Asia. (Might be due to lukewarm rice).

Pros: All vegan, Cheap

Cons: Small portions, Potentially poor hygiene

Mock Meat Heaven

I can’t say it’s the healthiest, but they have the largest selection of mock meats I’ve ever seen! Buffet style, you might want to go just after they open for freshness. I ate there twice and everything was delicious. Heaping plates for around 100 baht. Not the best English but just point and nod. They will warn you of spicy. May not be hot food.

Pros: Lots of selection , Moderately priced

Cons: Not hot food
