Even Thai people love to eat meat it is not difficult for vegetarians or vegans to find food or restaurants in Bangkok. Conveniently, many vegetarian restaurants are along Sukhumvit road, which in turn is not far from the hotels near Nana BTS station. For street food there is often the option to replace meat with eggs or tofu. The Thai term for vegetarian food is “mang sa wirat“ or you simply look out for triangle yellow flags with Chinese characters on it, this indicates vegetarian food. Vegetarian restaurants have regional cuisine and international or fusion dishes on their menu, all without meat or fish.
