Great place that's open late - Edit
Good vegan/vegetarian place that's close to the Chiang Mai Sunday night bazar and is open late. Ideal for a post-shopping , relaxing meal.
Read moreThey do tend to get orders mixed up though so be sure to repeat your orders a couple of times. This could be due to the language barrier but the host is very understanding. #Veganuary
Pros: Good vegan options , Cozy outdoor seating , Quick service

Great food, relaxed place, decently priced - Edit
This place has a good selection of vegan and vegetarian dishes. For drinks make sure you specify if you need vegan milk (we got matcha tea with cow milk by default). The place also offers yoga and meditation classes. Very good Burmese salad and Tom Yum soup. We came here everyday when in Chiang Mai. You can chat to the French 🇫🇷 and Thai 🇹🇭 owner couple here as well who are very relaxed and friendly.

Nice - Edit
Good food and nice location. It was was a bit difficult to communicate (English is not very well) and for what it is a bit overpriced. We waited over half an hour for our stir fry. Still a very good option and we can recommend the place.

Cozy restaurant with a great vibe - Edit
This cozy restaurant would definitely get a second visit!! They’re plenty of options on the menu with the food made to order. I ordered the Pineapple fried rice as an entree and was completely blown away with all the flavors they were able to capture in this dish. Also give the Limonana with fresh peppermint and lime drink a try…you will not be disappointed.

Thai and western food - Edit
Found this little spot after searching for a place to eat when most of the restaurants were closed.
Read moreReally appreciate that they close late (they told us between 9-10 pm), so don't run around the city searching for a place to eat. Go directly here, you won't regret it!
As per the food, they offer a huge selection of western and Thai vegan food, some of them are vegetarian but easily convertible to vegan, just ask the staff! They are super careful.
We went for a Thai rice, absolutely delicious!
Pros: Closes late, Cheap
Cons: May not be easy to find - small street

Great vibes, friendly staff and family kitchen. I didn’t eat but did a yoga class and had a delicious spirulina smoothie. Staff speaks English and everything in the menu can be veganized!

Vegan Khao Soi - Edit
Bodhi Tree was one of the stops on a Khao Soi Crawl I recently hosted. 20-25 of us gathered at the restaurant to taste-test a small portion of Bodhi Tree's Khao Soi and rate it based on a variety of categories.
Read moreHere is a summary of everyone's written feedback:
The dishes served were inconsistent, so the feedback was as well. Some had thin, vermicelli-like noodles, while others had thicker noodles, more similar to the other restaurants. Those who had the thin noodles said they were too thin, and those with thick noodles said they were soggy/gummy as if they were overcooked. Everyone seemed to like the amount, variety and quality of the veggies and tofu in the Khao Soi, but some complained there were not enough toppings, or their toppings came late. Reviews of the curry were mixed as well. Many thought it was more authentic than the previous restaurants, but several said something along the lines of “delicious, but not Khao Soi.” Some said it was a good mix of creamy and spicy, yet others thought it was too spicy or said all they could taste was the chili. The amount of curry that came with the noodles and vegetables was also inconsistent, with some saying there was not enough.
Here are the average scores out of 10:
Authenticity - 6
Value for Price - 7.25
Curry Flavor - 7.55
Quality of Noodles - 5.3
Amount and Variety of Fillings - 6.4

Delicious Thai food - Edit
We had a pad Thai, massaman curry, baked spring rolls, pumpkin soup and a gaspacho soup. All of them were 1st rate.
Read moreMy partner is Spanish and she was particularly impressed with the gaspacho soup.
Portions and prices are good. All dishes were vegan and all except the massaman were without chilli on request.
They also offer a cooking course which we are going to do before we leave Chiang Mai.
We did the cooking course and it was a lot of fun. They were able to tailor the dishes for us to leave out the chillies. So for the 1st time in almost a year I was able to eat massaman curry! From scratch, raw massaman paste ingredients to cooked curry! It didn't come out red, more brown. But I think with a small bit of tinkering at home I could make it red, it was delicious anyway and spicy from the other herbs. My partner learned to make khao soi from raw curry paste ingredients to cooked curry again without chilli. It was also delicious.
We made a som tam papaya salad, green curry (without the green curry paste because the one they had was with chilli) so it was more like a coconut soup, but very nice.
We finished with sweet potato in ginger syrup (I forget the thai name) and mango sticky rice both of which were amazing. We had a lot of fun and stuffed ourselves to bursting point. I would definitely recommend!

Really lovely lunch! - Edit
The staff are really lovely and friendly! The food is so fresh and I would really recommend trying the penang curry because it's so flavorful and delicious! The restaurant is on a peaceful little street so it's a really nice place to eat at. It seems like everything on the menu can be made vegan so there are plenty of options.
