I love the Thai food in the US, so much that it has made me consider visiting Thailand. I wonder if it actually nets tourism dollars? I guess it doesn’t need to because Thai restaurants could also be a relatively safe investment if more people love them as much as I do.

I actually chose Thailand for my vacation because I wanted to get authentic Thai food. Worked on me!

I've been to Thailand twice and I find the Thai food in the USA to be much better. When I asked my Thai friends about this they said it could be that the ingredients are of higher quality in the US...

That wasn't my experience as a whole. Certainly, I experienced both bad and good. But the good Thai I had in Thailand was far superior to the good Thai I can find locally in the US. I'll keep looking :-)
