I've been in inner Thailand. No one wants to eat actual Thai dishes.

I'm not sure what this means........

But let me say this... Fried rice is very much a stand alone meal in Thailand. I can't comment on how the fried rice is at places in the states is, but I would imagine it is fine. I will say that the food at most american Thai restaurants is similar to what is found over here, and sometimes better.

Any donkey who claims crap like "It's not authentic Thai food" is likely just trying to sound smart.

I actually was in Thailand for 12 months in 1966-7.

There was no fried rice then. Fried rice is mostly for Americans. This dish has probably been added in the last two generations. Authentic Thai dishes are too spicy hot for most Americans.
