Although Jay Fest has passed, the plant-based food movement is still strong in Bangkok. Even if you are a typical meat-eater, like many of us at BK, that doesn't mean plant-based food isn't exciting. In fact, a lot of plant-based alternatives are starting to rival their meaty cousins in terms of flavors and textures. Now, Marriott Bonvoy members can get access to a bundle of deals on plant-based foods across the hotel's properties. These were originally Jay Fest deals, but you can still redeem them.

You’ll be able to eat your way through different cuisines from 17 Marriott restaurants, each with their own unique selection of meat-free dishes. Fans of Japanese cuisine can head to Tsu, Kintsugi or Kisso that have specially curated menus just for the Vegetarian Festival. 

The Vegetarian Festival has roots in many cultures, and Chinese-style plant-based dishes are also on the menu. Man Ho, The Silk Road, and Pagoda are popular choices. Don’t skip the Athenee Hotel’s Rain Tree Café, which is releasing an exclusive Indian-inspired dish. 

There’s nothing wrong in going for what’s familiar too, with great Thai restaurants on the line-up such as Siam Tea Room, BBCO and Bistro M. You’ll see that a meat-free diet doesn’t have to be light on the palate, with ich and flavorful meat-free curries from the House of Smooth Curry.
