We had Thai fried rice the other night and it was great...I went to the asian food mart and was quite amazed at all the ingriedients there. What are some basic asian dishes that might open my eyes to this international cuisine? (pad thai....)

if you like thai food try thai fish cakes, chiou chou style food, curry dang. Musaman is my favorite though, it's curry dang with peanut sauce, beef, carrots, and sometimes potato.
also try malaysian, indonesian, and singaporean food.

I'm a big fan of peanut chicken (as well as other dishes mentioned above, the curries and Pad Thai especially.)
My favorite Thai restaurant serves an outstanding chicken in peanut sauce. The dish includes peas (in the pod) green beans and mushrooms, and is served with rice. The sauce is fairly thick and a little sweet, almost like peanut butter.

Yes, the coconut shrimp soup is really good.
Another famous Thai dish is 'Tom Yam' soup. Usually served with chicken or shrimp. Called 'Tom Yam Kung' with shrimp. Hot & sour. Strong lemongrass flavour. If it's served with 'galangal' (Thai ginger) it's all the better...
My favorite is 'Som Tam'. Spicy green papaya salad. Green papaya, tomatoes, chili peppers (heat can be modified), fish sauce, garlic, shrimp, peanuts... Absolutely delicious. I loved it so much I learned to make it!!
The curries are fantastic also. Green curry. Red curry. Masaman curry. I really like the Masaman. It's milder -- potatoes, veggies, meat. Yellow in colour. Coconut flavoured. Yum...
