oh man, honestly, i eat a wide variety of thai food bc it's my fave and don't tend to get the same order every time. i think my overall favorite dish is khao soi. the rich, spicy coconut curry broth with the soft noodles AND the crispy noodles on top??? the pickled mustard greens and lime cutting through all that richness??? perfect food. the fact that you can get a decent one in chicago after having the real thing in chiang mai is what keeps me out of bed in the morning.

i also love som tum (spicy!!!! literally what’s the point if not), massaman curry, panang curry, larb, pad kra pao, any kind of skewers. also those noodles with, like. gravy on top? i forgot the name, but they're usually a wide, flat noodle with a. dark sauce on top. i fuck w/ that real hard. then if i'm in thailand, i have a lot of green curry bc i can't find any half as good in the states, esp seafood.

honestly half the joy of thai food is that i could eat it constantly for a month and still be like wait hang on i haven't had THAT yet. there's just soooooo much good thai food out there.
