Eating Vegan in Pattaya — Easier Than You Think
Thai cuisine is naturally plant-friendly. Many dishes are built on rice, noodles, vegetables, and coconut milk. Look for the word "เจ" (Jay) — it means vegan/vegetarian in Thailand. Local markets offer fresh tropical fruits at bargain prices. And of course, Tess Vegan Cafe is your safe haven for guaranteed 100% vegan meals.

Useful Thai Phrases for Vegans
A few Thai words go a long way: "ไม่ใส่เนื้อสัตว์" (Mai sai neua sat) means "no meat." "กินเจ" (Gin jay) means "I eat vegan." Write these down or show them on your phone — most Thais are very helpful. Many 7-Elevens also carry vegan snacks and soy milk.
