Vegetarian food recommendation for Thailand

Fried Rice (Tofu/Vegetables )
Pineapple Fried Rice
Roti (Local Thai Pan Cake)
Mango Sticky Rice
Khao Soi
Falafel/Hummus Wrap
Smoothie Bowls
Spring Rolls
Lot of smoothie
Cheese toast/fruits/milk at 7 Eleven

Tops Daily/ Lotus Go have few more options for vegetarian snacks and salads than 7 Eleven. For healthy snacks I find Tops Daily to be more better than 7 Eleven

Additional Tips

Tell for smoothies without sugar
Tell to make food without fish oil (palm oil)
You tell them to add tofu for your proteins

Tips to search on Google Maps

Always search for vegan/vegetarian restaurant instead of top restaurant or food near me
Go to the review section and check the top rated dishes – if it’s vegetarian/vegan, less chance to get disappointed
