Very small portions - Edit
I have to say that I was quite disappointed with this place. The food didn't taste like much (we ordered Khao soi and an eggplant curry) and the portions (especially the curry) were super small. Also, as a good vegan place, they should care about more balanced dishes. The eggplant curry was simply made out of eggplant, onion, ginger and tomato. No protein whatsoever...
Read moreI think there's lots of potential but they aren't quite there in my opinion.
Pros: They sell nice stuff like vegan fish sauce, Staff is nice

😃 - Edit
The two dishes I liked the most were the samosa which was very tasty and the mac and cheese which was excellent . The place is really pleasant to sit and good prices It's a shame that most of the portions are quite small 🤪

Great Breakfast and nice staff - Edit
We only went there for breakfast and it was amazing, they were really quick and even had some games to play with while waiting. The Cappuccino with oat milk was great as well, they even had free water. All in all great place.

Delicious food and friendly inclusive atmosphere - Edit
Cozy cafe for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff is friendly and the menu is quite unique, offering options lime chickpea omelete over rice, kimchi bowl, shan meatballs. We had the omelet and meatballs and they where very tasty. There is are also fun things like a table with sauces and free ice water, a rack offering vegan and sustainable products like vegan fish sauce and bamboo straws w. cleaners.
Read moreThe food is relatively pricy, but I think it’s worth it and 100% of the profits go to the Shan foundation. (Ethnic minority group in southeast Asia.
I’d definitely recommend.
Pros: Yummy food, Cozy atmosphere, Unique menu
Cons: Maybe for some budget travelers to pricy

Absolutely fantastic - Edit
I got the green tea leaf fried rice and Shan plant balls. Both were 100 baht. Might sound a little bit expensive but money goes to a good cause and the food is worth it.

Fresh and Delicious Food with a social conscience - Edit
The most warm and friendly young woman will greet you! We have been three times now and have enjoyed everything! Tried the omelette over rice, Burmese tea leaf fried rice, Shan white tofu, samosas, potato with lime chilli salt, etc! Will add some photos when we go back again.

Super tasty & great options! Will definitely be returning🤍 - Edit
Loved the vibe, really friendly staff, and a great selection of choices on the menu offering to Thai and Western choices. I had the bagel with "cheese" sauce and "omelette" made from chickpea flour and veg which was SO delicious. I'll definitely be coming back to try more from the menu! Well located just off walking street.

Must try - Edit
One of the better places in Pai for ethnic Thai and Burmese vegan cuisine. I ate here twice in last 2 days and tried many of their dishes. All unique, flavorful and healthy. Friendly service. Food is made to order so at times will take a minute. A bit pricey but well worth it. Highly recommended

Not only vegan but also with a story - Edit
Free Bird Cafe is fairly mew one with the first one being established in Chang Mai.
Read moreThe Cafe offers vegan “Shan” dishes ehich makes this cafe a special one. Shan is the latgest ethnic minority from Myanmar. They share a long border with Thailand and have fled the brutal Burmese military junta and settled in Thailand as stateless people with no basic human rights.
All profits from Free Bird cafe goes to Shan people.
The food is great ♥️

We had a Shan salad and the breakfast bagel. Both were great. The dishes are super rich in flavours. Bagels were quite expensive for 120 bath but the Shan dishes are around 80 bath - that’s ok.

Best vegan food in Pai - Edit
100% vegan food packed with flavour and cooked with love. Highlight for me are the chickpea tofu dishes since they’re a great protein source. This is Shan (Burmese) food which is overall delicious. Great prices in comparison to other vegan options around Pai. Staff are very friendly and the venue is peaceful. Highly recommend for vegans and non vegans!
