Vegan Guide to Koh Phangan

Updated August 2026

Here is our Vegan Guide to Koh Phangan. An island that is famed for the Full Moon festivities has become a kind of paradise for vegan travellers. It was seven years since our last visit to Koh Phangan. and we only had a short stay so the places we managed to visit and feature were limited, but we’ve also checked the status of the previous inclusions and made edits accordingly. But to be honest, if you’re visiting Kin Phangan (and Sri Thanu particularly) it is one of those places where you really don’t need a vegan guide as there are so many options! Just walking along the Sri Thanu strip you will see multiple adverts for vegan options including vegan cakes, vegan cheeses and vegan ice cream. There are also a couple of health food shops, which both have plenty of snacks, ingredients and products that are vegan. our favourite was Terra Market as their vegan brownies were delicious.

Vegan Restaurants in Koh Phangan

Eat.co

Eat.co
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 10am-10pm every day

We enjoyed eat.co on previous visits and also their location in Bangkok which sadly closed so we had to return to their Koh Phangan location for lunch during our trip. We shared an excellent Caesar salad and their ‘Meaty Mushroom Bowl’ which were both very good. We didn’t love the coconut mash with the bowl as it was a little flavourless, but other than that we enjoyed the food and the staff were all very friendly. Extensive all vegan menu with plenty of options, eat.co should be near the top of your list on Koh Phangan.

Lick – Taste of Local

Lick – Taste of Local
Hinkong Road

Opening Times: 11am-6pm every day, closed Sunday and Monday

Do not miss this place! Delicious vegan ice cream served from a converted van in a garden setting overlooking the expansive bay. Homemade coconut ice cream served in homemade waffle cones with all sorts of exciting toppings. Literally some of the best vegan ice cream we’ve ever had and it made us want to live on Koh Phangan! On Sunday you can find them at Chaloklum Market if you need your vegan ice cream fix…

Orion Cafe

Orion Cafe
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 8.30am-9.30pm every day

Excellent beachfront location in a secluded bay and part of Orion Healing centre which is an all vegan wellness resort. We enjoyed our lunch very much sharing a spaghetti bolognaise made with walnuts and mushroom, topped with almond Parmesan, and also their ‘Soma Shroom Burger’ which was made with fermented mushrooms, beans and brown rice, served in a charcoal bun. Both dishes were excellent and we enjoyed our lunch at Orion very much.

Falafel4Flavours

Falafel4Flavours
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 4pm-midnight every day

All vegan fafafel stall with four types of falafel and multiples sauces and salads that you can choose from. We enjoyed packed pittas with six falafels and loaded with salads and were very impressed. Great food, and the fact that the staff were friendly and the stall was 100% vegan was an added bonus too.

Pure Vegan Heaven

Pure Vegan Heaven
Wok Tum (garden setting) and Thong Sala (AC restaurant)

Opening Times: 10am-8pm every day (both locations)

Now with two locations on Koh Phangan, and further outlets in Chiang Mai, Phuket and Koh Samui these guys have been making excellent vegan food since 2018. On our most recent trip to Koh Phangan we didn’t manage to visit, but on a previous trip we dined in their original Sri Thanu location. We selected the Smoky BBQ Bowl and the Nachos to share for lunch. These were 2 of the tastiest dishes we had in Koh Phangan and if we were staying longer we would have returned for sure. There didn’t appear to be any Jackfruit in the BBQ bowl or ‘chorizo’ in the nachos but maybe they had ran out? Very tasty all the same despite the missing ingredients!

Kia Ora Cafe

Kia Ora Cafe
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 7.30am-4.30pm every day

We didn’t eat at this this cute all vegan spot in the centre of Sri Thanu as it wasn’t open in the evenings, but we did enjoy their delicious hot chocolate and sunshine latte drinks. We also buy one of their almond croissants to take away which was very good., if we were staying longer we certainly would have headed there for brunch or more of their vegan pastries.

Soul Organics

Soul Organics
Panthip Market
Thong Sala

Opening Times: 10am-8pm every day

Soul Organics is located at the back within the food court and is the only 100% vegan option in Panthip Market that we could find, although there are many stalls that have vegan options so it’s worth exploring. We ordered massaman curry which was way too sweet and had little spice. The fact that the vegetables were organic, the rice was brown and the staff member was friendly went some way to make up for the lack of authenticity in this dish. But for good value vegan food when you’re in Thong Sala this remains a solid option.

Mama Noi Mango Sticky Rice

Mama Noi Mango Sticky Rice
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 1pm-10pm every day

Popular mango sticky rice cart in the main road in Sri Thanu that’s well worth a visit. Yes, you can buy this ubiquitous Thai dessert everywhere, but the portion size and the taste from Mama Moi was excellent and they are open late every day which makes for a perfect after dinner dessert or late night snack.

Vegetarian Restaurants in Koh Phangan

Taste from Heaven

Taste From Heaven
Haad Yao

Opening Times: 2pm-10pm every day, closed Saturday

These guys have had a Restaurant in Chiang Mai for a few years and opened on Koh Phangan in 2018. Their original location where we ate in Sri Thanu is no longer operating, but their restaurant in Haad Yao is still open but we didn’t manage to visit. They always offered an extensive vegetarian and vegan menu with Thai and Western options. We enjoyed the Khao Soy which was excellent meaning we went back again the next day and tried it all over again. We also had Tom Kha and a ‘bacon’ sandwich just because we could and they were both OK but not great.

Vegan Friendly Restaurants in Koh Phangan

MaMaKop3

MaMaKop3
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 1pm-11pm every day, closed Sunday

This was opposite where we were staying and on the day we arrived made for an easy option. It looked bright, new and welcoming so we checked it out. The staff were super friendly and the menu is extensive with the option to have most dishes with tofu and veggies. When we asked about fish sauce the staff member immediately asked if we were vegan which was re assuring. The curries were all great and packed with veggies and tofu, the sweet and sour was delicious too with all dishes being generous portion sizes. It was so good we returned a number of times during our recent trip and enjoyed the friendly service and delicious food every time.

Mandolino Pizzeria

Mandolino Pizzeria
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: midday-10.30pm every day

With branches in Thong Sala, Chaloklum and Sri Thanu which each feature vegan options we made sure to visit during our recent trip. As expected, the menu has vegan options throughout, and also a vegan section with various pizzas and pastas. We ordered a simple pomodoro spaghetti and marinara pizza with vegan mozzarella. The pizza base and the vegan cheese were both very good, but the tomato sauce on both the pizza and the pasta was way too salty which was a shame. The portion size for the pasts was also rather small too. We fed this back to the friendly staff team, so hopefully the chef will be a little less generous with the salt and a little more generous with the pasta going forward!

Taboon

Taboon
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 7am-11pm every day

Middle Eastern restaurant with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere just North of the village that has a veggie menu with vegan options clearly marked. We enjoyed all of the food with the Iraqi Sambusak being our favourite. The sambusak were a selection of ‘pockets of oven fresh breads’ with various fillings. The Iraqi version was packed with a delicious chick pea mixture, we’ve never had these before but will search them out again. Kind of like a Middle Eastern Cornish pasty? Decent pitta, falafels and dips too. Highly recommended.

Heaven Beach Bar

Heaven Beach Bar
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 10am-10pm every day

Just North of the main village and right on the beach is Heaven. Lovely location and the perfect place to spend a relaxed evening amongst the trees and listening to the ocean. Option to add tofu and / or brown rice to many of the veggie dishes made this a simple and enjoyable option. We enjoyed a Penang curry and sweet and sour vegetables both with tofu and they were around 100 THb each.

Mama Poohs Kitchen

Mama Poohs Kitchen
Sri Thanu

Opening Times: 10am-10pm every day

The massaman curry was pretty good but again too sweet and lacking spice, but the veg tempura was very good. We also ordered tofu and eggplant which was in so much oil it was almost inedible. The family that run this place were very friendly and we would go back and check out other items on the menu which had many vegan friendly options.
