In our recent visit to Thailand I again realized how much fresh un-processed food is available to the rest of the world and isn't available to us at reasonable prices. A visit to the market in Thailand makes one drool, the variety of fruit, vegetables and even meats is awesome.
And beyond the raw materials restaurants are very reasonable - one can eat a feast in $10US.

With that said what were my favourites?
1) The barracuda with curry paste @ Jai's restaurant in Khao Lak
2) The massaman curry @ Jai's restaurant in Khao Lak
3) Mango and sticky rice - everywhere!
4) Fried fish cakes - at the Khao lak / Bang Nga market
5) Fried chicken at Chatuchak market in BKK
Many things I didn't get to try as it was a family vacation, and some things I did try were a let down.
The biggest letdown? 'Roti Mataba' recommended in Lonely Planet! Ripoff and not that tasty compared to all the other things available.
Review in a few words: would love to go to Thailand again. Thank you Sister & B-in-Law for having us over.
