Rest of Thailand
There are 76 provinces in Thailand and I have visited and successfully ordered vegan food in around fifty of them. In this section I have listed all of the veggie restaurants that I have found in other provinces that I feel are good enough to warrant writing about.
Almost all of the large provinces will have standard Thai vegan/veggie stores that you can eat in, even if it is only the one. The provinces that are more likely to have veggie food on offer are the ones that are populated by Thai-Chinese people. The North Eastern areas are the least likely to have veggie food, but you will find some.
On the islands and in the tourist areas, you will find more Western style vegetarian restaurants catering for tourists rather than locals. These islands and these places are much more likely to have vegan options.
Chiang Mai is probably the easiest province to find vegan food in, followed by Bangkok, Phuket, Koh Samui and Ko Phangan.
Read about them in this section. If you are going to a particular province that you are concerned about, please send me a message as it might just be that I have been there before and am able to advise you.
