Munchies: Loving Vegan Fast Food, Part 1 of 2

Today we would like to take you to a not-so-hidden gem in the northern part of Thailand. A small but mighty new vegan fast food restaurant, Munchies, is the recent addition to the many available vegan restaurants in the second largest city of Thailand, Chiangmai. Located in the old town area, this vegan fast food restaurant opened its doors in 2019, and has already become a big bit among vegans and non-vegans alike. Mr. Paiste told us what motivated and inspired him for this exciting new chapter of his life. “And my wife got diagnosed (with) cancer, early cancer. And we found the plant-based diet can help. And after two weeks already, we saw the cancer started regressing in her body. And after one month, it completely disappeared. We were very euphoric about this result and surprised that it was so powerful. And we were thinking about all the children in the world who are lured into fast foods. And we need to do something about this, to fix this problem, to help the children of the world. That was the main original purpose of creating Munchies. So then, after that, because we started eating plant-based food, it didn’t change only our health, it also opened up our spirituality.”
