Amazing shop - Edit
While the food in the restaurant is decent, it’s just the usual buffet so a bit hit-and-miss and stops serving at 2pm, so you need to be here by about 12:30pm to ensure they have some decent stuff left.
Read moreThe attached shop on the other hand is open until 6pm and is one of the best shops for vegan food I’ve seen anywhere. It’s a small supermarket. Be wary that it’s not quite vegan, despite being called ‘Real Vegan.’ It sells many products containing honey, and I found one that quite subtly contained milk, so perhaps there in error:
Even so, a great source of vegan ingredients like nuts, seeds, teas, snacks etc. Not something I expected to find in Khon Kaen.

Déçue - Edit
Peu représentatif de la cuisine vegane si gourmande et créative. Ici on a juste mélangé des légumes à toutes les sauces (souvent très épicées), sans recherche de créer un vrai bon plat a part entière.
Read morePros: Plusieurs options de plats, Joli cadre, Pas cher
Cons: plats pas très bons, sur 4 plats testés a deux, 1 seul pas mal, Personnel pas souriant / plats ne donnent pas envi

ON VACATION DEC 28-JAN 3. They take one week off a year--well deserved. Otherwise, wonderful food and great variety! I've eaten literally hundreds of meals from them, every one delicious.

canteen style restaurant with many options - Edit
The quality of food is not better than other vegetarian restaurants around, but the sheer number of choices make this place absolutely worth a visit. The health food store has many interesting things too, although the language barrier does sometimes make it hard to know which product are vegan.

Great Choices, Lacklustre Service - Edit
Marginally more expensive than other veg restaurants in the area, it's almost worth it for the experience: as well as the large array of choices, there's a table full of greens and sauces for customers to tailor their own dishes. Ice creams and ice blocks, many of which are vegan, are available from the vegetarian minimart (open till 7pm) and range from 18 to 59 THB. Tawanthong also offers complimentary cold and hot water and free wifi. The main issue with this establishment is the staff's hostile attitude towards foreigners and subsequently poor service.

Pros: Large range of dishes, Help-yourself greens, Vegan icecreams, extensive minimart

Amazing! - Edit
This is one of the best vegan Thai style restaurants that I have found so far in Thailand. The food is all Thai of course but the selection is simply fantastic. They have so much! All the classic dishes and hot snacks as well as fresh raw salads and you can even buy your organic produce there. You can also get Thai sweet desserts as well as vegan ice-cream! They also have a huge shop with natural products and also dried foods, canned foods etc. There is a large eating area or you can take the food away. I love it!
Read moreFor a Thai style restaurant, you'll have a hard time finding anywhere else that will measure up to this place!
Khon Kaen doesn't have much for tourists... but it's almost worth visiting just for this place!

Excellent food and grocery - Edit
Tasty food, choose from around 12 precooked dishes; they also had other prepared items. Rice and 2 options for 35 baht, or a single dish for 30.
Read moreAlso vegan ice creams are available in the freezer outside the shop! (Not every flavor is vegan but a few are.)
