February 25, 201016 yr Gaeng Plah kuah (salted fish curry--Southern specialty) Ho Mok (steamed fish curry) fried curry pork pat krapow garlic and pepper pork ribs What are your top 5? **after note: just noticed that four out my five are spicy dishes. Like I always tell Thai people, "if its not spicy, its not delicious!"
February 26, 201016 yr I saw one of these 'What's Your Favorite Thai Food' threads on the Lonely Planet Thailand forum, and the overwhelming favorite Thai food?...... (drum roll: ba-da-bing!)..... Banana Pancakes on Koh Samui! I got kind of a chuckle out of that! My Favorite Thai Foods. 1) The Fried Sea Bass w/ Fish Sauce at Mum Aroy in Si Ratcha (MAN - is that stuff GOOD!!!) 2) Crab Curry (with those little soft shell crabs in a real spicy red curry sauce - we had them at an open air restaurant down on the waterfront in Pattaya - I don't know - there's just something about curry and crab that go together and take each other to a whole new level - kinda' like Peanut Butter and Jelly - only a WHOLE lot better!) 3) Kung Kra Tiem - garlic fried shrimp - they chop up the garlic and let it dry in the sun for half a day, then roll the shrimp in spices and the dried garliic and fry it up - I'm sure it's what the angels eat in heaven) 4) Thai Fried Chicken from a little restaurant on the Nong Mon bypass in Bang Saen. Get that with one of their iced-coffee-smoothie-things and, well, life is pretty grand for a while...... and then you run out. 5) Banana Pancakes on Koh Samui - I know.... I know..... but they ARE really good! -whatever -Lou

You would be wanting a copy of "Thai Hawker Food" then ..... http://www.dcothai.com/product_info.php?products_id=233 It has pictorial, English/Thai names, and English descriptions of most common Thai street foods including soups, salads, noodles, fried, grilled, drinks, etc., as well as common cooking utensils and nice maps of the main food markets in the Bkk area. To me, it's a must have for any big time "Thai foodie."

March 4, 201016 yr Maybe its not real thai - and I do love many of the other dishes quoted on this thread - but I am quite partial to a good crispy fried catfish salad. Larp Ped (sorry = Lao-style duck salad) also yummy. Used to love Larp plaa until it gave me parasites - the cooked version is nowhere near as delicious as the raw fish versions
