Why it matters
Why Taste From Heaven, Haad Yao is worth your time
Haad Yao is on the west coast and has fewer vegetarian choices than Srithanu. A vegetarian kitchen with a marked vegan section is a useful base for families staying there.
The Chiang Mai origin shows in the northern Thai dishes. Khao soi is rarely found without meat on the island, so a vegan version is a real draw for visitors who want a regional dish and not a generic stir-fry.

How to experience it
Taste From Heaven is on the hill leading down to Haad Yao beach. It began in Chiang Mai and moved to Haad Yao in 2022, according to a vegan guide. The menu is vegetarian, mixing Thai and Western dishes, and has an extensive vegan section where vegan or adaptable dishes are marked.
The dish both guides single out is the khao soi, a northern Thai curry noodle soup. Order it vegan, because the standard version normally uses egg noodles. Dinner is the main service, and the reported hours are from about 14:00 to 22:00, closed on Saturdays.
Bring cash. The restaurant is vegetarian, not a confirmed pure vegetarian one, because the sources do not state how egg is handled, so ask about egg if you avoid it. Jain needs were not addressed.
