Other than La Thai, are there any really good ones? Preferably open on a monday?

Banana Blossom on Belle Chasse Hwy

Bangkok Thai
It's a hole in the wall but it's good. It's the only Thai restaurant I've been to that i would come back again. The only place that's met up to my level of spice.

only place in the area I've been that's a cut above.
Cafe Equator in Metairie is passable, but not really worth seeking out.

Siamese Thai in Metairie at Vets and I10.
It's tucked away in the back of an old shopping center but the food is good. It's the oldest Thai place in Metairie.

This is probably the proper answer.
Singha is a passable lunch spot in the CBD, but I wouldn't seek it out otherwise (I haven't been to their new location, but have been meaning to go). Sukho in the Marigny used to be good, but that was when the guy who now runs Banana Blossom was cooking there, which was several years before they opened on Magazine, which has never really been good.

I've always liked this place. Not true-and-true Thai food, but really good for the value.

I appreciate all the help guys 
im gonna try Siamese Thai, just because it looks to be the closest spot to where i'm staying tonight.

I went a couple weeks ago. The portion size was a joke and the curry was rather bland plus chicken was overcooked as shite. I remember the old Singha in the CBD being pretty solid. Probably won't be back to the new one.

Chill Out Cafe is very underrated Thai off maple st. Give them a try next time.

Well, that's a shame. Although, I always found them a bit lacking in both spice and portion size. I'll still swing by there and try it at some point, I suppose.

This place is a true gem. It's pretty far off the beaten path, but it's really great.
I haven't been in at least 3+ years but it's been consistent forever.

just went, don't see a need to return.. Myabe Thai food just isn't for me.
I like Viet, I like Indian, but the four times I tried Thai I didn't like it.
I got the Green Curry with beef, coconut soup and shrimp golden rolls.

I disagree. The larb gai is great as an appetizer/salad and the "countryside menu" is fricking great.

I don't see how one can enjoy Vietnamese or Indian and not enjoy Thai.

Same here...usually it's 'I enjoy Viet and Thai but not Indian.' FWIW I've had Indian several times and it's either a hit or miss for me. Most people would probably think I'm nuts since I don't like butter chicken at all. I do however love mango lassi, naan, tandoori chicken, saag paneer, and some curry. ETA: I still need to try Saffron but their hours are a PITA.
FWIW Napoleon, order the Countryside Authentic Thai Red Curry with Chicken. I'm not crazy about Green curry but Red Thai Curry is great. It's good at La Thai as well but more Creole fusion-y and not as authentic tasting.

Yep, that's me.
As far as Thai goes, LA Thai is my favorite by far.

I like La Thai but it's more fusion-y than authentic. But usually when I'm in a Thai mood I either go there or Cafe Equator. I guess because I'm the most comfortable with those two and I know what's good at both places.
I still need to try Siamese Thai; I think it's in the same 1970s strip mall that Sandro's Trattoria is in.

Understood. Indian need not be lumped in with Thai and Vietnamese . There's a vast difference. But hell, all are awesome food styles...how could you not enjoy if you order correctly, or at least with some guidance?
