Vegetarian Festival
The well-known Vegetarian Festival is a popular event that is much anticipated by many Thais. This festival is of Chinese origin and therefore Chinatown is the focus of the festivities. At this time you will find a host of makeshift stalls selling strictly vegan meals, whilst many regular restaurants also take the opportunity to participate in this event.
