Guwan Im - Chiang Mai

Pick food from pans and pay 40 baht for 3 selections on rice. Then help yourself to salad. Food is real Thai style with lots of interesting beans, leaves and vegetables. No danger of the plain taste common in many vegetarian places. Noodle dishes available too as well as juices and coffee with cow's milk :

Located a short distance from the old town, this Buddhist restaurant offers a wide variety of dishes. The staff is extremely friendly and the ambiance of the seating area is inviting. It may require a short drive if you are in the old town or surrounding areas, but it is well worth the effort.

"The restaurant offers a good variety of vegan dishes and the staff is friendly. There may be minimal English spoken, but it is easily navigated with a translation app. The food was delicious and authentically Thai, prepared without MSG."

I tried her food during the veggie festival week, not at the restaurant, but at her stall in Kad Suan Kaew Mall almost every day, and also took it home (2019 marks the third year). The people were very friendly, with a wide selection of only vegan dishes that were authentically Thai, delicious, and affordable.

They did not speak English, but we could get a varied selection of food on a plate. There was so much to choose and it was really affordable, even for local standards. The place was also full of locals.
