Ikr? Where I grew up (near Seattle), there were tons of great Thai places, and it really didn't matter which one I went to, it would be pretty good.

Where I'm at now (near SLC, Utah), it's all sweetened, bland crap. It's decently good, but it's nothing like what I grew up with. The most popular places here are essentially franchised, and they all taste bland and sweet instead of properly spiced.

The good places are the small restaurants closer to downtown. The interior decoration is less fancy, but the food is way better.
