Restaurant of the Vegetarian Society of Thailand

Restaurant of the Vegetarian Society of Thailand, Chiang Mai.
"Vegetarian Food Club of Thailand" on Google Maps. It's not a "club". The Thai name, ชมรมมังสวิรัติแห่งประเทศไทย สาขาเชียงใหม่, is best translated into English as the Chiang Mai Branch of the Vegetarian Society of Thailand.

Update: The restaurant has remained closed since the start of the Covid pandemic. Even after the end of the Covid pandemic, the restaurant has not yet reopened (as of 23 May 2023), but grocery sales are back in operation.

Take-away food has been available since June 2023, but the selection is modest.


History notes:

The restaurant is an amazing place, and a must-go for vegans and vegetarians. They offer a very wide selection of food, fruit juices and herbal juices, all at very low prices and at self-service. In addition to food in the restaurant, you can buy there fresh vegetables and fruit, groceries, second-hand items, vegetable plants and decorative plants. Open Monday to Friday, the restaurant opens early in the morning and closes early afternoon.

Unfortunately, the restaurant is not open throughout year. It might be closed for several days, even for weeks, and even for months! If the restaurant is closed, usually a plate indicating the closed period is fixed on the entrance gate of the property.
