(Mentioning a dish made with Harusame noodles would have been too obscure)

Favorite Thai dishes
1) Yam Pla Dok Fu - crispy catfish with green mango salad
2) Crispy Squid with Basil -
Both of these are great at Thai Square, in Arlington, VA.
And I love the See-Ew Noodles at Thai Kingdom, Washignton, DC

I tried Pad Thai yesterday and for some reason (the food itself didn't appear to be bad or did it taste bad, It was delicious) but all I could think of was that Globe Trekker episode with Ian (forget the last name) on a river in Indonesia somewhere getting breakfast served in a canoe, lol
I got a taste of my bosses dish, I don't know what she ordered but it was these tiny noodles with some spicy sauce, that was so much better than my Pad Thai... especially after I ruined my own appetite...

IMHO, laksa is malaysian/singaporean dish. I love curry laksa, unfortunately it's hard to find a good curry laksa dish in US. The closest I ever find is in Vancouver. Don't confuse curry laksa w/ asam laksa, totally different food and I learn the hard way.
Btw, For Thai food,
Tom yum goong
Green Curry
Boneless duck with red curry

It's often claimed that the best Thai restaurant in the US is (off-the-strip) in LAS.
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.

Actually, it's Duangrat's (http://www.duangrats.com/). Right around the corner is the less expensive, less formal Rabieng, also owned by Duangrat.
When in Thailand my favorite comfort meal is som tam (papaya salad), grilled chicken or catfish, and sticky rice, usually washed down with a 10-baht iced coffee. Larb moo (minced pork and chilis, typically eaten wrapped in lettuce leaves) is another favorite. I'm also a tom yum goong fanatic and have it with at least half my dinners there.
