May Kaidee is a well-known vegetarian restaurant and cooking school in Bangkok, famous for Thai food from every region. Here is what its website says today about the restaurant and its classes, and what has changed since I first wrote about it.

Who is May Kaidee?

According to the restaurant’s own website, May started with a street cart in 1988, in an alley near the famous Khao San Road. Over the years there have been seven different locations in Bangkok, and today the restaurant and cooking school are on Soi Samsen 5, open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. The menu is 100 percent plant-based Thai food. My old post also mentioned some Western and Chinese vegetarian dishes; the current website describes a Thai vegan menu, so check before you go.

Where is it?

The website says the Bangkok restaurant is just blocks from the original location, in the Old Bangkok area. That is still close to Khao San Road, the tourist area my old post named as a landmark. May Kaidee also has restaurants in Chiang Mai and New York City.

Can you take a cooking class?

Yes. May Kaidee’s cooking school offers classes in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and New York, from a two-hour express class to longer courses. Class availability changes, and the school says that if there is no registration link for a class, it is not being taught at the moment. The old post described May as a cooking teacher who traveled the world, including Japan, to teach Thai vegetarian cooking; I could not confirm her current travel schedule.

Does she have cookbooks?

Yes. The restaurant’s site lists a Thai vegetarian and vegan cookbook, which is a good option if you cannot make it to Bangkok. For another Thai cookbook, see our post on Real Vegetarian Thai by Nancie McDermott. The video below shows one of May’s classes.

Alicia Silverstone, a 30-year-old actress who is proudly present that she is a vegan and it totally change her life to be better and she also claimed that she has more energy since being a vegan.

Silverstone worked with PETA, the organization to protect the animal rights, by shooting the video of vegetarian. It sounds normal but a little bit too special because she is naked in this video. This video is made in order to let people know that how being a vegan do to the body same as Silverstone. She used to be a big girl, but look at her now. She’s in good shape and stunning in the video since she is being a vegan.

This video will be shown more often in some state like Texas since it is one of the unhealthiest states in America in order to inspire and encourage people to eat healthy food.

This ads becomes popular overnight with the stunning body of Silverstone and also it can gain a lot of attention from many people.

Natalie Portman is a vegan actress. She believes in the right of the animals. Not only the she doesn’t eat anything alive but she also do things to prove to the world that she is a vegan. She does the shoe line with Te Cesan that is vegan.

Besides from the kindness of her in lives of animals, she’s also smart who graduated from Harvard University with honor. She can prove that the movie stars are not stupid which we can say that she is a proud of Hollywood.

According to the shoe line she has created with Te Cesan, 5% from the sales will be given to the charity. This shoe line is like the symbol of being a vegan and vegans are proud of it. All girl vegans shouldn’t miss to have one.

Anyhow, if you are not vegan like Natalie Portman, you can do the charity with them by buying the shoes. And why not to buy them because even Natalie Portman still wears them too.
