Thailand Vegetarian Festival to Bali: a preview

Updated: Jan 6, 2019 · Published: Oct 26, 2012 by Kip · This post may contain affiliate links · 3 Comments

I've been way MIA, absent from most social media platforms as well (save the odd tweet of a food pic), but I've been in Thailand for the annual kin jay festival, a ten day long vegetarian festival that effectively puts veganism at the forefront of a large percentage of the population's minds. I'll write more about it when I'm home, but here are a few pictures of what I've been eating.

And a picture of a kitten in bloomers (it has no rear leg function and its people are extremely caring). <3

I'm in Bali now for a further two weeks - spot the tempeh before the cat. Yup, one of life's goals complete: eat tempeh in Indonesia. It's not a disappointment!

    Fried tempeh AND a kitten in bloomers. My, the lord has been kind to you!
    Great to hear about the kin jay festival in Thailand. Would you recommend going?

      Yes! It's a vegan's dream, and it's pretty much the biggest holiday in the Thai calendar so it's a big deal. The main road in Chinatown gets lined (jammed) with stalls (think of a big city vegan festival in a town hall and multiple it times a billion).

Name's Kip. Some things about me: vegan, Thai food enthusiast, comfortably chaotic and disorganised, information lover, Londoner, cookbook collector, clumsy AF, rarely takes a serious photo, has never been on a diet. This is not a wellness blog. I run vegan Thai supper clubs too.

Think Like a Vegan

A thoughtful read for long time vegans and nonvegans alike, this is one of the best styles of arguing for and discussing veganism I have yet to find.
