It's hard, I know, but narrow it down to your top 3 fav Thai dishes.

 

For me:

 

1. Stir fried chicken & cashew with steamed rice

 

2. Isaan grilled pork with a spicy salty dipping sauce, a (Thai) papaya salad with salty duck eggs and pork rinds added, and sticky rice and raw local veggies too.

 

3. Massaman curry 

Khao Man Gai

 

Duck noodle soup

 

Chicken Satay with Spicy Som Tam with Bala and crab.

Love chicken rice and duck soup 

Tom Yum, Pak Bung Fai Dang, and Yam Khai Kem are 3 of my favorites.

Gaeng Hang Lay Moo

Phad Phed Gop

Kai Moot Daeng

Khao Soi Gai

 

Top 4

 

 

 

1/ Pad Thai Goong. IMO the quintessential Thai dish. I have it without the chopped peanuts and sugar. A small addition of chili.

 

2/ Pad Siew Gai. I add the chili myself. I like the long flat noodles, although without excessive oil.

 

3/ Mussuman curry.

 

Bonus - whole baked fish with garlic.

Gaeng hung lay 
khao kha moo
khai yak sai moo

In no real order as it depends what kind of mood I’m in… Massaman, Penang & Pad Siew (all Moo/Pork as I don’t eat chicken).

 

Like @LacessitI add chilli to the Pad Siew to turn a pretty plain dish into a fiery inferno. 
 

 

Pad krapow moo 

Pumpkin and chicken soup with rice (don't know Thai name)

Love a really good tom yum gai 

 

All home cooked ????

I think the first one is that northern pork curry? Delicious 

 

Second one, I think, is stewed pork leg

 

Third one, no idea.

 

You could write it in English, you know 

Favourite dish would have to be Pad Thai with both chicken and prawns, and a liberal sprinkling of chili flakes.

 

Just recently taken to cooking Pad krapow gai as it is easy to cook and very tasty if you stick to the recipe!

 

Thai green curry chicken, with potato chunks added and plenty of coconut cream!!!

Interesting, why you not into chicken?

Think I know what some of these are

1. My wifes noodle soup with full Thai seasoning board (important: peanuts) but no fish sauce

2. Nam Tok (hot)

3. Tom Kha Gai

 

Only 3 dishes is really a bit hard so I just add one as a bonus: Panaeng Nuea - could add a couple more

Me, too but you set the limit to 3.

I find it hard to pick a top 3.

 

Vietnamese style Thai rice noodle soup (guay jap) has to be up there in the top 5 anyway .

Main Vietnamese noodles Pho in their 2 northern and southern varieties are inferior to their Thai cousins I think. However Japanese Ramen or Udon are on top. Depends not only on the soup, but the noodles as well !!

Just one of those things where as a Kid I wouldn’t eat it (my neighbour kept all kinds of birds & raced pigeons & it somehow get wrong to eat a bird - though I do like duck ????)

God, knows what these dishes are.

 

Are they women?

Although recently turned vegetarian..

 

1. Chicken massaman 

2. Kaeng tap wua.... If I remember it correctly

A tamarind-paste based mild curry with cow's liver.

A southern dish I presume.

3. Grilled catfish with sticky rice

I'm a huge fan of the yellow rice with chicken (khao mook gai) particularly fried chicken and if there are any chicken livers to go on top, damn, that's heaven!

 

I'd add a fried egg to it if I could. Duck egg, preferably.

In no particular order
