Thailand Dietary Concerns

Vegetarian dishes abound in Thailand. The travel section of the The Vegetarian Resource Group’s website, at www.vrg.org/travel, has a comprehensive list of organizations and websites that are geared toward helping vegetarians and vegans traveling abroad. Vegetarians will find numerous resources on the web; try www.vegdining.com, www.happycow.net, and www.vegetariansabroad.com, for starters. Travelers who keep kosher should contact synagogues in larger cities for information on kosher restaurants. The website www.shamash.org/kosher provides a small list of kosher restaurants in Bangkok; contact synagogues in larger cities for more information. If you are strict in your observance, you may have to prepare your own food on the road.

The Muslim presence in Thailand makes halal food an integral part of the national cuisine (especially in the Yawi-speaking regions of the south). Consult www.zabihah.com for more info.
