But the best Thai in the DC area is certainly not in DC's Chinatown. You'll find it, for the most part, in suburban strip malls. There's Dungrats on Route 7 near Bailey's Crossroads... Sakulthai on Van Dorn .. and by far the best Thai restaurant in the District is Thai X-ing, a one-man mostly takeout operation.
