During a secret visit of Vegan Mahanakhon วีแกนมหานคร, we taste-tested one of Bangkok’s newest vegan restaurants and were blown away by the taste, variety, and veganification of hard-to-find dishes.

Located a 15-minute walk from Wat Arun, this century-old teak house venue allows only 85 visitors at a time to preserve its integrity.

We especially loved the Assorted Thai Appetizer Platter that included vegan appetizers such as vegan pandan-fried “chicken” and cho muang (Thai flower dumpling). The red curry with lychee and pineapple was a spicy tropical delight, as was the pla duk foo (vegan crispy fluffy fish with green mango).

The restaurant has a rotating seasonal menu featuring different regional cuisines, with Southern cuisine taking the stage at the moment with a medley of greens in their khao yum (rice salad).

Sweet tooths will love their desserts such as the Thai peanut cake, sohm-choon (fruit desserts on sugared ice) and khanom ko (sweet coconut dumplings in coconut milk).

Add Vegan Mahanakorn to your post-Wat Arun itinerary!

🏳️‍🌈 Meet Oliver "Ou" Priebjrivat, co-founder of Siva Yoga, whose journey from a strict Evangelical school to becoming a yoga instructor is about finding peace in the face of overwhelming homophobia.

American missionary teachers cornered him to tell him that it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve, and that being gay was a one-way ticket to hell.

Oliver found solace and self-acceptance in yoga, helping him heal from years of religious trauma. His studio, Siva Yoga, now serves as a sanctuary offering peace and positivity in Bangkok.

🖼️ The “Longevity: An Abstract Conversation” exhibition, curated by Kit Bencharongkul, features works from 11 female artists exploring the facets of longevity through their art.

Take note of this exhibition's vibrant color palette and its relationship to ones in Thai art, architecture, and traditional attire. Such bright palettes show the Kingdom’s zest for life — but also a desire to endure beyond one earthly life.

The pursuit of longevity and the celebration of life deeply rooted in Thai culture, and this exhibition’s abstract art praises both a singular well-lived life, as well as art that transcends beyond that timeline.

📍 Location: Four Seasons ART Space by MOCA BANGKOK, Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.
📅 Runs until June 30.

🏳️‍🌈 Nichapath "Koy" Lookmueng, a passionate personal trainer, shares her journey from a sports-loving tom in Krabi to respected trainer in Bangkok, in the face of rejection from relatives who were not open to LGBTQ+.

“They said I would never get far in life due to my sexuality, both in terms of relationships and career,” she said. “No one would want to date me seriously, and no matter how hard I trained, I could never be as strong as a man anyway, so why try?”

Koy turned adversity into strength, both physically and emotionally. Pick up a copy of Bliss and Beyond to read more about Koy's inspiring story. 🏋️‍♀️💪

🍫Have you ever experienced a Cacao Ceremony?🫘🌴

This ancient spiritual ritual, rooted in Mayan tradition, can be experienced right at the heart of Thailand, with many facilitators using locally grown cacao beans. According to the Bangkok-based shamanic power couple Nalinee Diosara and Michael MacDougall, cacao from various provinces in Thailand have their own distinctive aromas, notes and energies when used in ceremonies. This Amazonian superfood is packed with antioxidants and flavonoids that can stimulate the mind, boost emotions, and soothe the spirit.

Their single-terroir chocolates highlight each province’s unique climate and conditions. Much like the different tastes found in fine wines and cheeses derived from specific regions, the diverse terrains across Thailand give rise to chocolates with a distinctive flavour.
