[edit] Pronunciation in IPA
Can someone provide a transcription of "pad thai" in International Phonetic Alphabet, indicating the appropriate aspiration marks? 128.12.32.199 23:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- The statement "It is cheap and very popular throughout the country." is not correct if the "country" in the sentence is meant to be Thailand. There are many other thai dishes that are more popular than Pad Thai in Thailand, e.g. Som Tum. And it is certainly not cheaper than other popular dishes.
Note: If you has only tried a Pad Thai from food stalls along Khaosan Road and never tried the dish anywhere else. You may got a wrong impression about the dish. For Thai people, at least me and my friends, those "Pad Thai" in Khaosan Road doesn't look very much like Pad Thai (not to mentioned about its taste). It is true that Pad Thai in Khaosan Road is cheap (10-15 baht/box), but you should try a real Pad Thai elsewhere if you have a chance :) -- Bact 22:59, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
- I've removed the bit about beansprouts for now, since the Thais weren't doing any fighting during WW2. Do we have a source for the relevance of the beansprout's characteristics? Mark1 01:43, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Thai noodles
What kinds of noodles are there in Thai cooking, and which are generally used for Pad Thai? --Jacqui M Schedler 23:15, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- Generally the dried rice sticks, which is made from rice and has the shape and size of the linguine, are used for pad thai. The glass noodles went through a phase of popularity, I think. The wholemeal, made from brown rice, is getting popular. Or so I heard. As for what kind noodles are used in Thai cooking... well I'll be here all day so I'd better not start!

[edit] Recipes
We're having a massive cropping up of recipes in the external links section... I would trim it but which ones should be kept? -- Paul C 01:33, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Regarding addition of Pad Thai Street Vendor external link: This is the first time this page has been submitted for Wikipedia. Please do not remove this without review by a senior editor. The content of this page does not offer anything for sale directly, it's simply a recipe with a unique presentation of being prepared authentically in Thailand. This is a contribution to the subject of Pad Thai, just as informative (or more so) than the other external sites. There are half a dozen photographs, the likes of which are not available anywhere else on the internet. The other websites already listed under external links for Pad Thai are designed to sell ads on Google (AdWords revenue sites) so this must be taken into consideration on what is a commercial site and what is a site selling ads for Google. Please think about that before removing the link and please let me know directly if this has been adjudicated appropriately by senior editors as any type of violation. --Gvranch 16:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ingredient List
I'm taking the ingredient list off as it doesn't seem to contribute to the article. We have recipe link available or perhaps it should link to wikicookbook instead? That and the dodgy English... Kanatcha 08:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Luang Phibunsongkhram
I have just requested sources for this paragraph; I cannot find any reference to this anywhere on the 'net. The only references I can find are to Wikipedia itself. Can someone with a bit more knowledge cite sources or remove this statement?
