For 10 days, everyone can eat free all day at the Pattaya Vegetarian Festival.
Returning to pre-pandemic tradition, the Sawang Boriboon Foundation opened its vegetarian alms-canteen in Naklua from 8:30 a.m., Noon to 1:30 p.m. and 5-6:30 p.m. for free meals for up to 300 people per seating.
Seating is divided into two zones: One for people wearing all white and one zone for those who don’t.
While the pre-pandemic tradition has been revived, Sawang Boriboon is clinging to pandemic era rules requiring everyone to wear face masks and social-distancing the tables and diners.
The festival and free meals run through Oct. 5
