On's Thai-Issan Vegan

On's Thai-Issan Vegan is a small plant-based restaurant on Mae Nam Kwai Road, the riverside guesthouse strip in Kanchanaburi. The owner, On, comes from Si Saket province and cooks northeastern Thai food without animal products.

The massaman curry is the dish people talk about, and the menu also covers pad thai, spicy papaya salad, curry soups, curry fried rice, tom yum and khao soi, plus black sesame custard for dessert. Many dishes do not rely on tofu, and portions are generous for the low prices.

On also runs hands-on cooking classes covering several dishes, shaped around what guests want to learn, with recipes to take home. Classes are arranged ahead through the Facebook page rather than on a walk-in basis.
