I rarely eat Thai but I'm going out with my brother and sister-in-law to a Thai place. Other than trying to avoid things with a lot of coconut milk or peanut sauce, what are some other good choices? I don't know much about Thai food. Thanks!

Oooh, Thai is one of my favorite ethnic cuisines.There are many Thai options to choose from, but one of the safest will be something called Pad Kra Prow (spelling will vary, but it should be similar). In most Thai restaurants, it contains your choice of meat (chicken is a good lean choice, and some restaurants will mince or grind it if that makes it easier for you) stir fried with onions, sweet pepper, and Thai basil. It's really yummy! You can usually specify how spicy you want it (it's got plenty of flavor even if you ask for no heat). It will be served with rice, but if that gives you problems, just skip it and enjoy the meat and veggies.

A lot of Thai dishes include rice or noodles, so if rice or Pasta gives you problems, avoid those. There are also appetizers that can work well like satay, which is barbecued skewered meats (no sweet bbq sauce, just herbs and spices). Good luck and enjoy!

I had broccoli and beef yesterday at my job!!!! not the entire serving though just a third of it and i had no problem just chew very well

I love thai, but confess that coconut milk and peanut sauce are what i usually go for. Chicken larb is really good and doesnt involve those two evils. I love love love tom yum soup too.

So I ended up having the Tom Yum soup (good but very spicy!) and some steamed chicken and shrimp dumplings. Pretty tasty, but Indian is still my favorite :-)
