(Please note:- I believe there is a third branch in the same area - but I haven't visited this one yet.)

 

May Kaidee’s is one of the most famous vegetarian restaurants in Thailand. May is renowned for her excellent cooking, recipes and cookery classes. She has three branches in Bangkok and a third in Chiang Mai (see here.)

All of the food here is high quality Thai food. Everything you would expect to see on a typical Thai veggie restaurant is here and all of it is cooked to the standard that you would expect. Every meal I have tried here has been outstandingly delicious. They also have the odd western style dish such as plain soups and pancakes. The food is about 90% vegan. As well as shakes, teas and coffees – beer is also available. You can also purchase her cookbook and some essential ingredients such as chilli pastes.

 

The menu is the same at all of the branches, except the one that is in Samsen Road has some additional raw dishes which taste divine. This branch is quite small but away from the madness of Khao Sahn Road. This branch is on Samsen Road and a few minutes’ walk from Khao Sahn Road. It is less busy than the Khao Sahn branch.

 

The Thanon Tanao branch is on the little alley that runs along the behind Khao Sahn Road. It is bigger and naturally busier than the other branch. They also have an all you can eat buffet on Saturday nights which is only 150 baht. I haven’t tried it yet, personally but it sounds like excellent value.

 

If you are in Bangkok you must make a visit to May Kaidee's for a truly authentic Thai veggie feed. You could even try one of her cooking classes, too!
