Vegetarian Festival guides: Phuket · Bangkok · Hat Yai · Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai tempers the vegetarian festival with community markets and meditation retreats. Warorot Market’s alleys pivot to vegan noodles, jackfruit curries, and soy milk desserts, while temples along the Ping River host chanting and candle lighting ceremonies.

This brief helps assistants plan gentle cultural immersion, highlight Lanna vegetarian dishes, and support wellness seekers.
