In Thailand, we have a wide range of Vegan or Vegetarian dishes. The taste is very similar to other Thai Food. You don’t find it much different. Some ingredients, particularly meat or fish substitutes are made from proteins and nutrients from soybeans, tofu, soy products, other beans, and vegetables.
Thai people are religious and the majority are Buddhists. Buddhism is widely practiced throughout many countries in Southeast Asia and also draws significant influence from China and India.
Eating vegan food is becoming more popular in Thailand every year as people focus on healthy eating or reducing the number of animals that will be killed for food. Vegan and vegetarian food is delicious and in Thailand, there is a big vegan festival every year for “ 9 days in October “
The large event has been held in Phuket every year since the 19th century when a Chinese Opera Company traveled to Phuket to entertain the community of Chinese Miners working in the area.
People across Thailand take this to a whole different level and especially those of Chinese ancestry stick strictly to Vegan Food for the purposes of spiritual cleansing and merit-making.
During this period, you will see many yellow flags all around Thailand and that means the vendors are selling “Vegan” food. In Bangkok, you can get “Vegan” food in most areas and even 7-11, convenience stores, have a special selection for the festival!
Not only during the Vegan Festival, often the people will eat “Vegan” for a month or a week or once or twice a week to make merit.
Apart from the festival period or whenever I want to make merit, I also eat Vegan because sometimes I really feel my body needs “Vegan Food” and particularly sometimes when I am sick or just recover from illness.
