January 29, 20188 yr I have visitors coming to stay with me in Pattaya for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy Vegan friendly food. Restaurants and Supermarkets? I understand they ocassionally eat 'Free Range Eggs' where can I get these? They are from Australia so are used to a western diet they do eat Thai and Indian food also. Any thoughts would be most welcome.
January 29, 20188 yr Five Star J on Pattaya Thai almost at the junction with 3rd Rd does very good veg and vegan food. Google them and their menu is online.

January 29, 20188 yr Traveling towards Sukumvit road on Theprasit (from Thepraya road) take a left on Soi 10. There is a vegetarian restaurant on the left side with a yellow sign above it. It's a small cut through street, hope this helps.
January 29, 20188 yr I recently tried the recently revamped "Indian Vegetarian" on Phratamnak road. Just south of where the Jomtien songthaews depart from. (walking street side of the road) I had the thali.. very good.
January 30, 20188 yr You might try the Avani Hotel for eats.....? They have an Indian Chef and do a half decent breakfast buffet.....?
January 30, 20188 yr Five Star J is easily the best in Pattaya. Also try Govinda next to Central Festival and Easy Health on Third Rd. If you wanna have an overview of all the places (including small ones) check out happycow.net

January 30, 20188 yr Many vegan Indian food restaurants on 2nd Road in Pattaya in vicinity of Boyztown area. Actually any Indian restaurant has vegan food.
January 30, 20188 yr Supermarkets have these things called fruit and vegetable areas. You could walk past the butchers and meat section and try one of these. You may be able to find something. While you are at see if they sell rice, pasta, noodles, spices mushrooms, tomato pastes Buy eggs from the mobile cart vendors that travel around. Put some dirt on the eggs and say they are free range. Or buy the duck eggs. I was in Fiji once and went on a river tour which includes a stop at a village and lunch and one of the guests (an elder male ) is made visiting chief etc. Kava drunk, some local dances , a bit of a history lesson. The ladies of the village spend all morning making a smorgasbord spread of fish, meat, fruit vegetables etc. We had a whiny middle aged princess on out tour with kids while husband was err hum unavoidably detained in Hong Kong on business. After the fourth time of her saying "I am a vegan" I turned to her and and said. <deleted> just eat the pineapple. Anyway she kept it up and a large Fijian lady came over and asked the problem. With that she stood the silly cow up walked her to the feast and pointed out and spoke loudly "Pineapple, tomato, cucumber, taro etc . Not meat". She sat down and was still carrying on. The Village chiefs wife interverned. "Madam, what you say. "I am a vegan" was the reply. The answer was a classic "Oh sorry they not tell us. What part of Vega are you from" With that the 30 odd tourists except her 2 brats all just started rolling about the floor with laughter.
January 30, 20188 yr Villa Market on 2nd Road @ The Avenue, across from Soi 13...sells more veg/vegan items than the others.
January 30, 20188 yr Author Take your point ronrat ?????. Great little anecdote. Had me in stitches ?????. Thankfully my guests are not the whiny righteous types. They will be happy with the fabulous selection of fresh fruit, veggies, pulses, tofu and soy milk available everywhere.
January 31, 20188 yr Most supermarkets stock vegan sausages/fish balls. I usually get mine in Central Food Hall inside Central Festival.
