Why it matters
Why JaJa's Vegan, Moo 5 is worth your time
JaJa's matters because it offers Thai food that is vegan from start to finish, without hidden fish sauce. That is the single biggest worry for vegetarians eating Thai food, and here the kitchen removes it.
It is also affordable and local. For a family that has spent heavily on beach cafes, a rice-and-curry meal at roadside prices is a welcome change, and mock meats may please those who still want a familiar texture.

How to experience it
JaJa's is a family-run kitchen on the main road between Thong Sala and Srithanu. It cooks jay Thai food, the vegan style used in Thai Buddhist cooking, and a vegan guide lists curries, stir-fries, noodles, soups and mock meats on the menu.
The massaman curry is the dish the guide recommends. A single dish costs about 100 to 130 baht, which makes it one of the cheaper vegan meals on the island. The family also makes its own soy milk, so ask for a cold glass with your meal.
Bring cash, because no cards are accepted, and keep to the reported hours of 11:00 to 21:00. The kitchen is fully vegan; the guide does not mention onion or garlic, and jay food often leaves them out, but we could not confirm it, so Jain travellers should ask before eating.
