On this page

Ban Chlorophyll Vegetarian and Salad is closed. HappyCow reported the closure in September 2018, and nothing fetched in July 2026 provides credible evidence of a reopening.

Why old results look current

The restaurant still appears in map data and directory search results. Some pages show the former 11:00-21:00 timetable as if it were live, while Restaurant Guru retains a profile with no hours and no reviews. That persistence is common with older restaurant records and is not proof of trade.

The exact map point was last edited in December 2020, two years after HappyCow’s closure report. The edit retained a restaurant tag but added no operator contact, reopening note or recent service evidence. The closure source is therefore more informative than the bare point.

What the restaurant used to be

Ban Chlorophyll operated at 164/1 Siam Country Club Road, Soi 13 in Nong Prue, east of central Pattaya. HappyCow described Thai vegetarian dishes, mock meats, salads, brown rice and vegan-friendly choices. Eggs were historically available on request, so “vegetarian” was more precise than assuming the whole operation was strictly vegan.

Old comments praised the low prices and range, but figures from 2015-2018 have no planning value now. They are not repeated as current prices, and the former menu should not be attributed to whatever occupies the address today.

The address is historical

The coordinates are 12.9377268, 100.9272148. This is away from the beach-centred tourist core, despite the broad Central Pattaya collection label. Anyone following an old recommendation would make a meaningful detour only to find that the restaurant is no longer a dependable destination.

No successor business was established from the sources opened for this run. The page therefore does not guess what replaced it and does not redirect diners to an unrelated restaurant.

Who this page helps

The record helps people searching an old blog recommendation, saved map pin or remembered vegetarian restaurant name. It gives a direct answer and preserves enough context to distinguish the venue from other green-themed cafes.

Do not visit the former address for lunch. Vegetarian and vegan diners should pick a venue with a recent operator post, direct telephone and current menu. The concrete recommendation is simple: treat Ban Chlorophyll as restaurant history, not a backup dining option.

The differing spellings “Ban” and “Baan” refer to the same historical restaurant in the checked records. That distinction helps when cleaning an old itinerary, but it does not change the closure finding. Keep both name forms attached to this page so neither becomes a second, misleading live recommendation.

Pfälzer Stüble

Pfälzer Stüble is one of Pattaya's small band of genuinely German-run German restaurants — a cosy, wood-toned 'Stüble' (parlour) named for the Pfalz wine region, with a legacy in town stretching back over 15 years. The cooking is the point: a trained chef turns out proper Sauerbraten (the marinated pot roast that separates real German kitchens from schnitzel factories), beef goulash with house-made Spätzle, schnitzels and the expected roster of sausages, pork and German beer, with German-speaking owners front of house. Ratings are quietly excellent — around 4.5 on Restaurant Guru across hundreds of reviews and a solid TripAdvisor record — with German visitors, the harshest possible judges, doing much of the praising. The practical side demands homework, though: opening hours aren't consistently published online, and directory addresses disagree (some list Beach Road Soi 7, while the OpenStreetMap pin sits near the Pattaya Klang/Soi Buakhao junction), so check the Facebook page or call before making a trip. Expect mid-range pricing typical of Pattaya's German restaurants — most mains in the ฿200–400 band. For homesick Germans and anyone curious what Sauerbraten is supposed to taste like, it's a worthy find.

Punjabi Corner

Punjabi Corner is a small, well-regarded North-Indian (Punjabi) restaurant in the busy Soi Buakhao area of central Pattaya. It's a modest, unassuming place that punches above its size on the review sites — it carries an excellent rating (around 4.8 on Restaurant Guru across scores of reviews), largely on the strength of tasty, home-style Punjabi cooking and warm, attentive service. The menu is classic North-Indian comfort food: tandoori chicken and tikka, rich curries (butter chicken, dal, paneer dishes), biryanis and fresh naan and roti from the tandoor, with plenty of vegetarian options — a Punjabi kitchen is one of the more reliable choices for veggie travellers in Pattaya. Prices are affordable, portions are generous, and the vibe is casual and friendly rather than fancy. Sitting in the Soi Buakhao district, it's within easy walking distance of a huge concentration of budget hotels and guesthouses, which makes it a handy, good-value Indian option for anyone based in central Pattaya. It's the kind of neighbourhood curry house locals return to rather than a polished destination restaurant — come for honest food and hospitality, not decor.

Ruchi Indian Restaurant

Ruchi is a long-running, well-regarded Indian restaurant on Central Pattaya Road, a short walk up from Beach Road and opposite the Basaya Beach Hotel. It's a proper subcontinental kitchen rather than a tourist curry stop: the menu runs to well over 200 dishes spanning Indian, Bangladeshi, Thai and Chinese cooking, it's Halal, and there's a full spread of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options plus Indian thali sets. Regulars rate it for consistency and value — tandoori and curries at reasonable, non-tourist prices — and it holds a solid rating on the review sites (around 4.3 on Tripadvisor across many reviews), which is high for a busy central Indian in Pattaya. Staff typically speak Hindi, Bengali, English and Thai, which makes ordering easy for a mixed group, and the kitchen handles spice levels on request. It's a sit-down, air-conditioned neighbourhood restaurant rather than a fine-dining room; decor is simple and it can get busy, so service occasionally slows at peak times. The Central Pattaya Road location is handy if you're staying near the beach or Central Festival, with parking tight on the street. Portions are generous and it's popular for both dine-in and delivery. Prices are mid-range for Pattaya; confirm current hours before a special trip, as small kitchens here adjust their times.
