no monk in no temple in this country eats vegetarian. They all eat meat and even the people of Thailand encourage this by donating meat based food to the temples. If there's no meat in the food you are being a cheap ass donator and your karma will be dented.... The irony!

@Gallagher ********

pork, fish, chicken? Those are the meat staples for Thailand. All white meat. It's red meat that hardly features, beef, mutton, venison. Rare and expensive. Literally only white meat is eating in the daily Thai diet.

My problem with J food in this country is that it's all this highly processed, junk soya meat crap. A world away from healthy. What happened to good old fashioned organic veg cooked as a meal. Thais think that even vegan food should look and taste like meat. Such a huge gap in understanding of what delicious, fresh and healthy vegan food is. We will survive without fake trash meat, they can't accept it 🤣

MUST have meat, even if it's junk faux meat that is very bad for your health. Totally upside down thinking.

Sure, if you can speak Thai fluently and explain that when you say vegetarian you mean no fish sauce, chicken or pork broth, etc etc etc. Because this concept doesn't seem to make logical sense to Thais and they add it all anyway even if you ask them not too. I've eaten way too many animal products sneaked into food when asking for vegan. Even food labeled "plant based" in supermarkets and still contain animal products like eggs etc. And it's labelled plant based.... So take a translation app and translate all the ingredients to be sure. It's a headache in this country due to the grey area they have with adding various animal product to "vegan" food. 6 years later and it still happens. Best plan is to go to a vegan restaurant. Guaranteed no animal products. At other meat serving place your are ordering and eating at your own risk, no matter how much you explain yourself. Best cook for yourself and go to vegan only restaurants. For me being vegan/vegetarian for 25+ years, I never had a harder time than in Thailand trying to order a straight, animal product free meal.

great advice thank you. But I don't want to have to relocate. Let's see what happens on the 15th. Hopefully my local Thai language school can help me 🤞

@Kevin ********

schools in my area also can't help me now.

Where are they based? I would love to try them if they can help me legit. Will contact them

@Benjamin *****

not true. All Thai schools say they can't now dt the change over. I'm going the legit route.

they're currently not available as of 1 October. Same with volunteer visa. Check with your agent/immigration centre. All staff and procedures have been replaced as of 1 October. I am on a covid extension for this reason. Been on volunteer visa for 1.5yrs. No one can offer these 2 visas at all anymore. Nationwide. Of someone says they can, it's a scam. I've tried nation-wide. Only covid extensions available right now. Possibly work visas and business visas too. That I'm not so sure about.

I'm not sure if it is possible to get Non-B for online work not related to Thailand? 🤔
