I like Thai food too. Pad Thai is good when it doesn't have too many vegetables and Chicken Massamam is yummy too.
Is broccoli common in Thai food? Our local Thai restaurant puts broccoli in a lot of their curries / etc. and I'm a bit suspicious they're "Chinese-izing" some of their food.
I enjoy most Asian food, especially when I get to try something new, which is often. Thai is great and so is Vietnamese. When I was living in Paris, I was such a freak and ate Pho and strange dumplings all winter at a restaurant the size of my closet.
Try cooking Thai & Vietnamese yourself. Learning to make Pad Thai & Pho are easy. Try making a cold beef dish - everyone loves that (except vegetarians)! You can do a lot with fish sauce, chili, coriander, lime juice, tamarind paste, and crushed peanuts. Invest in a Japanese plastic benriner slicer and a Japanese Santoku, or Usuba knife. Buy a Thai/Vietnamese cookbook with color pictures. Learn how to 'shock' cooked veggies in ice water. A few cooking & knife skills & you'll be proud of yourself. Cooking is fun, and cooking with someone you like is more fun still. Live. Eat. Love.
I also love Thai! When living in Portland, OR (large asian community) we would go to SE side to Thai Thai, my favorite snow peas and beef, or black bean with tofu. Nothing like that in my part of Texas, sadly.
My current "go to" dish is Gai Kra Prow, and Som Tum. Some other oldie but goodie favorites are Larb (a salad) and Tod Mun (an appetizer). And of course, Pad Thai. Pad Kee Mao Gai used to be my favorite at a restaurant that's now gone ... and no one else makes it quite the same, so that's off my radar.
Pho, by the way, is Vietnamese. Another very good cuisine, though!
