one thing I do love about this country is the food..

It's truly great.

Right now for me my favorite thai meal would be deep fried Larb Moo for starter & chicken masaman curry for the main.

Washed down with an ice cold glass of beer and a glass of house red wine ???? 

Possibly some 'Nam Tok' for desert with my beer...

 

What is your favorite Thai food? 

 

Anything, rice, massaman, green curry, tom yum, som tum...as long as I have a side order of chips, mash, baked, boiled and jacket potatoes.

Not very Thai mate ???? 

 

I tend to go through fads of different dishes. The current favorite is also Massaman Chicken ! 

If we are outside for lunch, usually Pad grapow Moo with Kai dow or Phad Thai.

I like Thai curry so the others are Paneng Gai and Geng phet Gai, excuse pronunciation, but I think you get what I mean.????

Also enjoy Moo Bing and sticky rice, walking around the market

 

Green curry,Yellow curry, Chicken +cashew, Moo Palo,

Chilli fish,  Pad Thai ,anything that does not stink,some of the

things my wife eats,really smell bad. but she never

gets food poison.????

Did you make those yourself, Charlie? ???? 

I am not a big fish eater and prefer chicken or Pork. 

One dish I had recently that was really good was deep fried belly pork in nam pla, the unusuall addition of the fish sauce gives it a real salty kick and its great !

1. Massaman curry, Thailand. One more reason to visit Thailand.
2. Neapolitan pizza, Italy. Neapolitan pizza: always delicious no matter the size. ...
3. Chocolate, Mexico. ...
4. Sushi, Japan. ...
5. Peking duck, China. ...

CNN recently did a top 50 foods in the world.

#1 was what you see.  Nothing like a great steak, but that curry is delicious one of my favorites for sure..

that looks delicious mate!

It's a tossup between mussuman curry and pad siew gai. Call me biased, but my GF does both well. If she ever wanted to poison me, it would be a doddle. Just put it in either dish.

I remember when I first came to Thailand many moons ago I had never tried Thai food before.

I was travelling in Chiang Mai with 2 brothers from scotland.

I remember them taking me to a very local thai restaurant.

I was terrified to try the food as I had read about the delhi belly etc..

Anyway they ordered a plate of pad thai pork for me,

It was amazing. The cost of the dish including water was 30 baht.

That was my first ever experience with Thai food of any kind.

Funny enough the best Thai food I've had was from the home of the Only way is Essex, Brentwood. Curried crab claws, amazing. Wasn't the same though with Essex birds serving the food

you have to be able to get near the stuff to eat it. . Better pronounced Pla Ra, when the gf's mother starts using it i have to leave the house before i'm sick.

I was once offered it in Pai.

The smell was too much.

I didn't try it then and I wont be trying it anytime soon! ???? 

#1, Khao Soi Gai: Love the contrasting texture of soft and crispy noodles, mild curry broth and a half chicken leg.

#2 Khao Muk Gai:  Hard to find.  Chicken slow cooked in with yellow rice: served with fried shallots and a delicious mint sauce.

#3 Gai Yang: but only when freshly prepared.  Most vendors in Bangkok sell pre-cooked gai yang and it's tough, dry and not properly marinated.

#4 Kapow Moo Gorb: Probably not great for my arteries but I love it.

Khao pad kung, Tom yum, pad thai , mussuman curry, pad krapow moo or talay.

I like most of it except for som tum, those grubs you get at the market or this delicacy that the gf was tucking into one day !!

 

I forgot to add the "ner tod'

Fried beef strips with that hot chili dipping sauce.

Fantastic with beer of course ????

Potatoes are grown in  Thailand, ergo. I take the chicken out of my masaman and add extra pots  as  the chicken is usually  stringy and has the greasy skin on. Also my wife is from the south and I just can't share her enthusiasm for her favoured food.  Generally though I'm into the fish dishes here.

Nam Tok Mu (Pork in Spicy Condiment) with rice cabage and cucumber, this is my favorite dish.

Not thailand related but in Vietnam I also tried waterbuffalo. 

 

Very nice but not sure if they do it here in thailand...

I don't have one thing that I really crave here anymore. Too often I choose PadGraPaoMoo (stiru-fried pork with basil and chilies) like most people. It has to be the most popular dish here other than Somtam. Besides that lately, I kind of like Yam Goonchian. That's the Chinese red sausage stuff in a Thai salad. I guess I am bored with Thai food.

You are not a big fish eater ,my wife cooks Bla-Nin ,Nie  ,in fish sauce ,she got that recipe from the tv .

As for me a good Gang Som ,I am afraid it has to have some Bala .just to plain without ,best with fried  Bla- Chon.and Paka-Chet,water mimoas

A Yam Bla Dook Foo,takes some beating ,but the mangos have to be sour ,some I have had just to sweet .

Again a Gang Mastaman ,but I have to drive 40 km to get the Chile paste  ,not oftern we have it .

Or Cauliflower and Potato cooked  in Pong Ga-ree basically turmeric with a Thai  <deleted>- Gang  more an Indain curry than Thai .

Crispy  fried pork ,with <deleted> -Gang  and G-Chie, wild ginger .and Pric- Thia ,fresh pepper corns.

Can not go without a Bla Sum Rot ,with Bla Tup Tim   and a  Tom Kar Gie.

I have to agree with you about pla chon.  I love it deep fried and served with yum sauce made with green mango, shallots, lime juice and whatnot.  Yum pla dook with the mango sauce is great.  The first time I ate it, I couldn't believe it was deep fried fish.

 

You didn't mention pla shoo shee.  It's good when made with any of several fresh water fish.  I find it just a bit too rich so I don't eat much each time.

 

I was surprised to see that you like pug kha shed.   The vegetable I'm referring to seems to be mostly a long stem with a few small leaves and kind of fibrous texture.  My wife loves it.... me... not so much but it seems most suitable in gang som.

 

I love most of the greens stir fried in Thai style.  Pug kana, pug bung, pug waan, pug yod mallah... + a few I don't remember the names.

 

Bon appétit!

 

Hia pie makes a lovely evening repast served with Mengsaab.

A few of my favourites. Moo tort or moo ping, sticky rice & nam jim. Penang curry. Chicken & cashew nuts. Tom yam gung. Pad thai gung.

I eat and like nearly all thai, Issan and Southern food. 
 

The one thing I can not resist even if I am full is Kor Moo Yang, (grilled pork neck) fresh off the grill with sticky rice and the Nam Jim Jeaow sauce. 
Row Norm Yang (pigs tits)  is just as good and similar. 
 

Hoy tord is good for a greasy snack when on the booze. 
 

I like my somtam Thai with corn and salted egg.
