Began Vegan
71-73 Soi Tha Suphan, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200
Daily 10:00-18:00 (some listings say until 19:00)
Began Vegan is a small plant-based cafe on Soi Tha Suphan, a lane in the old town a few steps from the Chao Phraya River and close to Wat Pho. The menu mixes Thai favourites with Western plates, and the pad Thai with tofu and crispy plant-based pork is the dish most diners order; the mock pork, croissants, smoothies and cakes from the dessert case also earn praise. Staff are described as friendly and quick, which suits a lunch stop between temples, although the room is small and fills up at midday. Some reviewers find prices high for the area, and a few spotted non-vegan toppings on some items, so check with staff before ordering. It opens daily from 10:00 to 18:00, with some listings showing 19:00. Tha Tien pier and MRT Sanam Chai are a short stroll away.
