I’ve given up adding random Thai places to this list. There are too many of them, and too few are unique. But an avid reader recommends this one, plus Wheaton and environs is probably the best neighborhood for Thai restaurants. I bet this one is worth a try.

For the most part, I am bored with Thai food, except when I have the seafood at Duangrat’s. But this place is refreshing, nothing radical but everything tastes as if one is approaching Thai food anew. Recommended, especially for those stuck in Fairfax. Also very reasonably priced.

The former home of a Laotian place, same patrons. Good Thai food, but not at the very top, compared to the competition. I love the blues videos they show, but at the same time it comes off as a bit of affectation too. There is live music as well.

Good Thai place, rounds out the Herndon ethnic offerings nicely.
Update May 24, 2006: a reader says this place is closed and recommends Chao Phra Ya, 2465 Centreville Road, J1, Herndon, VA, 703-713-0103

Luang Thai or Thai Luang, web site, 171 Elden Street, Herndon, VA, 703-478-2233, recommended by a correspondent, on Baron Cameron/Elden Street, in the Virginia Power Building, across from an Outback (“somewhat,” writes Rick Gonzalez), hidden from the street.

Hidden from street, that is usually a good sign.

An excellent Thai place, in the Columbia Pike Thai row.

I’ve been going to this place quite a lot lately. It is one of the three or four best Thai places around, and probably the one most popular with Thais. Excellent atmosphere, lots of small Thai kids. The best satay around, without a doubt. The best green curry. Very original pig’s knuckle dish with fragrant spicing. Very highly recommended. Not as fancy as Duangrat’s but in some regards a more durable restaurant.

Across the street from Rincome Thai.

Lately it has been too sugary. That being said, I will take the sugary Mee Krob. Attached to a hotel. One drawback: you have to take an elevator up to the second floor for the bathrooms. But not up to the other Thai places on the same road in the same area. By the way, a reader recommends Bangkok 54 across the street.

Not as good as it used to be, but a Thai place is never bad.
