A fulfilling meal and a good deed at Pa Na Vegetarian Restaurant, Ban Don.

The "Vegetarian Festival" of Phuket is approaching. During this time, people choose to eat only food prepared without animal products and vegetables with strong odors. They also observe the precepts, behaving well in body, speech, and mind. In Phuket, you can participate in this interesting activity at shrines throughout the province. You will also see many foreigners who have traveled across the sea to participate in this festival. The Vegetarian Festival in 2018 will be held from October 9th to 17th.

Today, "Oh Pa Pai" takes you to the heart of Ban Don community to experience a vegetarian restaurant well-known among locals: "Old Auntie Na's Vegetarian Restaurant."

The restaurant is a simple, single-story house decorated in the style of a typical Thai rice-with-curry shop, where dishes are displayed in pots. However, the highlight is the incredibly kind owner, who adheres to a vegetarian diet herself. More importantly, the restaurant uses high-quality ingredients, ensuring a satisfying and virtuous dining experience.

The menu boasts a wide variety, and on some days, even features local Phuket dishes. It's no surprise that this restaurant has a loyal following for years.

Another secret of this place is that all curry pastes are homemade and do not contain MSG. Delicious and safe!
