Answer 2

The problem is not the recipe - google it, there are plenty.

The problem is finding all the right ingredients.

If you live in a big city it should be ok, you will be able to get the lemon grass, the fish sauce etc...

Unfortunately though, with out things like that, it is just not going to taste that authentic. Try looking for oriental (or specifically Thai) food stores close to you.
