Why it matters
Why Blue Diamond is worth your time
Not every vegetarian traveller wants Thai food at every meal. A vegetarian kitchen with Western dishes, salads and bakery items inside the old city gives elders and children a gentler menu, and a garden table gives a quiet break from the heat and traffic.
The guide entry is short and carries no history or ownership details, so we make none. It is also not tagged as pure vegetarian or vegan, because the page we opened says only that it is a vegetarian restaurant. It is best treated as an easy, flexible vegetarian lunch near the moat.

How to experience it
Blue Diamond is listed on Moon Muang Road Soi 9, a lane off the eastern moat road. Wikivoyage places it among vegetarian mid-range restaurants, with Thai and Western dishes, salads, a bakery and garden seating, open 08:00 to 21:00 Monday to Saturday.
The mix of Thai and Western menus suits a family where some want rice and curry and others prefer a salad or sandwich. A bakery counter means you can also come for a snack and tea.
Wikivoyage gives a rough spend of 100 to 300 baht per person, an older guide figure, so check current prices. Ask the staff which dishes contain egg, dairy or fish sauce if you follow a strict diet, as the page does not say. Choose a shaded garden table at midday.
Plan with confidence
