Finding vegan options at a Thai restaurant in Toronto is always possible. Eating vegan or vegetarian is nothing new in Thailand as they have celebrated this way of life for hundreds of years. With Thailand being a predominantly Buddhist country, most practicing Buddhists are already abiding to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Initially, all Thai dishes started as plant-based dishes. One of Thailand's biggest festivals is a 9-day "Vegetarian Festival" or known as "Tesakan Gin Jay." This festival honours the nine Taoist emperor gods and occurs on the 9th lunar month of the Chinese festival. During this festival, it is obligatory to abstain from milk and eggs. Needless to say, finding vegan options within the Thai cuisine is not difficult at all. In Toronto, many Thai restaurants offer a separate vegan menu or make accommodations easily upon request. This makes Thai cuisine one of the most delicious and accessible dishes for vegans.
