Love Forest is a Thai restaurant just a few doors up towards the mountain from a couple of other vegan restaurants; Nongna and Jay My Jam Jay, across from the Pharmacy Faculty of Chiang Mai University. Love Forest is quite different from the other two. It is a clean, modern and quiet place where you will sit down and order, there is no pre-cooked food. It is quite a pleasant and comfortable place to sit. Has air-con and both outside and inside seating.

If, like me, you are not a fan of fake meat, you will find the menu unappealing at first as it’s in almost every dish (sometimes even when it’s not listed.) However, you can ask for them to hold it. There are a few dishes that are actually pretty good including the sushi which is with avocado and tofu and has no fake meat. Some of the other Thai style dishes are nice too. The menu is mostly Thai dishes and there are a lot of vegan dishes although you will find some with eggs and dairy too. Menu is in Thai, English and Chinese.

They also have a few drinks such as bael juice but you will need to ask them to hold the honey, which is no problem. They also have some desserts which are mostly vegan and include some classic, delicious sweet items such as mango and sticky rice. Free water is provided although unfortunately with disposable cups.

Although it isn’t quite as cheap as the two veggie restaurants down the road it isn’t nearly as expensive as the western style restaurants that are in the nearby Nimman area.

Love Forest is not a bad bet if you’re in this area.
