Why it matters
Why Colorful Hut Plant-Based Thai Kitchen, Nai Wok is worth your time
Papaya salad, pad thai and spring rolls normally contain fish sauce, shrimp or egg. A kitchen that makes them plant-based lets vegetarians order the classic Thai dishes they would otherwise avoid.
The beach setting is the second draw. A lunch at the water's edge is an easy day out from Thong Sala, and the early closing times suit older travellers who prefer to eat before dark and travel back to their hotel in daylight, which is gentler on a long day.

How to experience it
Colorful Hut sits on Nai Wok Bay, on the beachfront and attached to a small resort. A vegan guide lists Thai classics and a few Burmese dishes: curries, pad thai, papaya salad, spring rolls and tofu dishes, all plant-based.
The dish named for a first order is larb tofu with mushroom, a plant-based take on the northern Thai minced salad. It is a daytime kitchen, with reported closing times of 19:00 on Monday to Wednesday and Friday, and 17:00 on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, so plan lunch or an early dinner.
Bring cash. Because the menu is 100 percent vegan, there is no need to check fish sauce in the papaya salad or egg in the pad thai. Jain needs were not addressed, so ask about onion and garlic if you follow that diet.
