The complexities of Thai food stun me. Then you add in Malay, Burmese, Cambodian, Laotian and Vietnamese and SE Asia has a nearly unending variety of dishes. I used to go to the little roadside curry places in southern Thailand (Chumphon, Hua Hin and Satun) and get one of those little plastic bags of curry plus a roll of sticky rice (if they had it) and take it back to my room. I do not think sticky rice is the right rice for curries but it worked for me.
Just watching the ladies fill the bags, spin them closed and band them for take away was an interesting thing to see in and of itself.
