Thai restaurants in Albuquerque

• Orchid Thai***: 4300 Central, 505-265-4047. An attractive interior, a long menu, and good food, including the standards and some pretty unusual offerings. Every plate has an edible orchid.
• Siam Thai***: on north San Mateo between MacLeod and Osuna on the east side, opposite a Taco Bell.
• Bangkok Cafe***: 5901 Central, on the north side. Dishes range from the traditional to the innovative. If you are a serious chile masochist, go there and order something ``Thai hot'' (which is to ``hot'' as ``hot'' is to ``mild'').
• Thai Crystal is on Silver near First, behind the Century 14 theater complex. I haven't tried this one. I've had several reports that the food is good, but the prices are a step higher than the above. The real estate can't be cheap here in the heart of downtown.
