Can Vegans Eat Thai Food?
We receive many inquiries about whether or not Thai food is suitable for vegans, and the answer is a resounding yes!
Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country, with most practicing Buddhists being vegan or vegetarian. Naturally, this cultural influence results in Thai cuisine being very vegetable-centric. While meat and seafood have been introduced into Thai food, all Thai dishes originally started as savoury plant-based meals.
