🍽️ Dinner overview
- Time: 17:30 – 19:00 (buffet style)
- Type: Thai Lanna buffet + snacks + desserts + soft drinks
- Seating: Casual, self-seating in your ticket zone
- Food comes from multiple stations (street-food style stalls)
🥗 Vegetarian / Vegan situation
Good news:
- ✅ There ARE vegetarian options clearly provided
- ✅ There is often a “Veggies Food Corner” just for plant-based food
- ✅ Some visitors confirm vegan options exist at the buffet
Typical veg-friendly items you might see:
- Fresh veggie spring rolls
- Salad bar / raw vegetables
- Stir-fried vegetables or noodles
- Rice dishes
- Fruits & Thai desserts
👉 BUT: It’s still a mixed buffet (not fully vegan)
⚠️ VERY IMPORTANT for allergies / strict vegan
This is where you need to be careful:
- ⚠️ Many Thai dishes may contain:
- Fish sauce
- Oyster sauce
- Shrimp paste
- Egg or dairy in desserts
- ⚠️ Cross-contamination is likely (shared cooking areas)
- ✅ The festival says:
- Each dish has ingredient labels
- You can ask staff to confirm ingredients
🧠 Practical strategy (what I recommend)
If you are allergic vegan (serious):
✔️ Do this:
- Go straight to the Veggies Food Corner
- Look for:
- Plain rice
- Stir-fried vegetables (ask “no fish sauce?”)
- Fresh fruit
- Ask staff:
- “Vegan? No fish sauce, no egg, no dairy?”
✔️ Bring backup snacks
Even though food exists, choices may feel limited for strict diet.
❌ What to avoid (high risk)
- Curries (often fish sauce or shrimp paste)
- Noodles (may contain egg or sauce)
- Fried items (shared oil)
- Desserts (often dairy or egg)
👍 Bottom line
- Vegetarian: ✅ Easy
- Vegan: ⚠️ Possible but limited
- Allergic vegan: ⚠️ Be cautious + double-check everything
