Dismissing veganism is so 2020. Whether you’re fully vegan, vegetarian, or looking to get into the lifestyle, here are some of the best vegetarian restaurants and vegan restaurants in Bangkok.
There are a lot of reasons why one may choose to go vegan or vegetarian. When planned and implemented correctly, these diets give out many long-term health benefits. Many also give up meat because of how animal agriculture treats livestock, and how it’s responsible for a big chunk of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. So not only are you doing it for yourself, you’re doing it for the greater good.
Looking to get started? These vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Bangkok will surely impress.
