Welcome to my new segment called "Vegan's Thailand Survival Guide" where I'll let you, my fellow vegans, in on little secrets of how to survive (food wise) here in Bangkok, Thailand!
Entry 1: when in doubt- don't freak out!

Now, if you've already travelled to Bangkok, you could probably imagine what a hassle it is for you to find food that is 100% vegan. So, to save yourself a little time (and trouble) what you need to do is...
​
1. Locate the nearest 7-11 (UK's Tesco Express) which shouldn't be too difficult. (It's like finding a coffee shop in Seattle) Now, if you're not in Bangkok- this method might not work as 7-11 outside of Bangkok sometimes doesn't have this item. 
2. Go to their freezer where they store a bunch of frozen microwave meals. 
3. Find the "Gin Je" option (Chinese version of Veganism). The easiest thing is to look for the tiny yellow flag with Chinese looking red letters on it. The reason for that is because Gin Je and vegan dietary are almost identical: no meat based products- no animal exploitations. To learn more about Gin Je, check out My Story in the menu bar.

4. The most common selection is vegan Pad Kra Prao: spicy vegetable protein stir fry, served with rice. Strangely, the taste tends to lean towards the sweet side; however, it could be fixed with a bit of soy sauce. It's not the best thing I've ever tasted (no kidding) but it was quite tasty. Plus, it is definitely vegan, which is all we care about really. It's better than being tricked into eating meat. 
So, there you have it! The first entry of Vegan's Thailand Survival Guide!
