Vegetarian options are available but less abundant than in larger towns. Ask for 'jay' (เจ) food for Buddhist-style vegetarian dishes that avoid meat, garlic and onions; choose stir-fried vegetables, tofu dishes or simple rice and curry without fish sauce.

Veganism is possible if you communicate clearly; avoid fish sauce and shrimp paste and request dishes with soy or coconut-based sauces. Gluten-free travelers should be cautious: soy sauce may contain wheat, so ask vendors or bring a translation card explaining dietary needs.

Carry a translation card for allergies (nuts, shellfish, seafood) and consider packing emergency medication. Small village vendors may not have extensive allergen knowledge.
