from Dublin, Ireland (Republic of) (Permalink)Hi Chris
I've never been to Bangkok but that should help
http://www.happycow.net/asia/thailand/bangkok/
and what I find in Thailand is that most vegetarian places are marked with sign that is similar to number 17

from Bangkok, Thailand (Permalink)Awesome! That does the trick.
I haven't paid attention to the sings but I gues what you say is 17 is the Thai word for veggie (เจ). Is this the sign?

from Ramat Gan, Israel (Permalink)in thailand we ate the pad-thai in the street all the time.... but be cerful from shrimps...
the best is to get out from the tourist street and you can find really tasty cheap pad-thai...

from Bangkok, Thailand (Permalink)Thanks for that Ella,
but in normal restaurants/food stalls they put nampla (fishsauce) in everything they cook AND they cook all kinds of meat in the same pan. So it wouldn't even be kosher (I don't know if this matters to you but since you're from Israel....). Nampla is mostly made of squid and some of the meat that goes through the pan is obviously pork.
Besides that I love Phad Thai, but I just moved to Thailand and I can't possibly eat Phad Thai for the rest of my days :-)
Having said that, I'm not a real vegetarian but ideally I'd be vegan and eating animals just makes me feel bad plus I get a waxy feeling on my skin if I eat meat.
ps.: I didn't mean to hit on you, this topic also came out during my day and I wrote here only cuz you reminded me of it.
Ciao
Chris

from Ramat Gan, Israel (Permalink)hi
well, no wories about hit on me :)
i really dont eat kasher :) and while my long travel in SEA i knew i couldnt possibly evoid eating food that might have sme left overs of meat or that was cooked in the same pen that had meat before... i am vegetrain for 5 years now and i belive in it strongly but in traveling you must be flexible... so for two mounts we lived on the pad thai :) not really... there were some corn suop also...
anyway, if you plan to atay in bangkok for long, sure you cant eat only on pad-thai...
my best recomened would be to have your on kitchen and cook for your self...
enjoy

from Bangkok, Thailand (Permalink)Yes Kate tried the impossible task of writing the pronunciation using the English language ... which doesn't have a phonetic writing.
In italiano sarebbe “gee” la pronuncia.
However there’s no need to keep this updated, unless I find new places, the solution is the Happy Cow website:
http://www.happycow.net/asia/thailand/bangkok/
The problem is only finding the places. So far I found 3 but for one of them I spent nearly an hour on the motorbike. Plus, I’m only trying the ones within a reasonable distance from where I stay.
Ciao!
