Answer
Chiang Mai has a growing scene for vegetarian and vegan cuisine. One delicious option is 'Larb', which can be made with mushrooms or tofu instead of meat, packed with herbs and spices for a flavorful kick.
• You can also enjoy 'Pad Thai' made without egg, which is commonly found at many street food stalls. Just let the vendor know your dietary preference, and they'll whip up a tasty version for you.
• Don't miss out on 'Som Tum', a spicy papaya salad that can be made vegan by skipping the fish sauce. It's fresh, crunchy, and bursting with flavor, perfect for a hot day.
Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues.
