Ease me into eating Thai food

Ask for non-spicy when you order. They know how to tone it down. Apps like spring rolls and curry puffs are a safe bet. Cool off with Thai iced tea.

Our neighborhood Thai restaurant has a tofu vegetable soup that's not at all spicy. It also has lemongrass chicken; a pear-marinated beef dish called Siam beef; garden rolls; chicken satay; gypza; and a variety of curries, many of which are not spicy at all, such as massamun and penang curries.

Basil chicken or eggplant is lovely and savory. You can ask them not to make it spicy.

Ask for jasmine rice. It won't hurt your gentle palate.

Love thai, ask them to make it extra mild for you.

Surprised nobody has mentioned ginger chicken since I think that’s the most accessible Thai dish. It’s basic ingredients, not spicy and quite delicious!

Thai cuisine restaurant in Rockville is excellent. I'm not into spicy either so I always get the papaya salad (no chili) and moo sub noodle soup.

The proliferation of Thai restaurants is gastrodiplomacy at its best. Ever since that program in 2002 to push Thai restaurants on the rest of the world…

I think pad see eu is a better choice than pad Thai - more familiar flavors, none of the fish sauce which I think is a hurdle for some people. And then mango sticky rice of course

Curious, what kind of food do Thai people eat at home in Thailand?

Is American Thai: Actual Thai food :: Olive Garden: Tuscan regional cuisine?

All of these!
+ fresh rolls/garden, not sure they are Thai specifically, but veggies (maybe shrimp) wrapped in soft rice paper with dipping sauce.
