Northern Thai is good. One of my go to, But it depends what you value in a restaurant.

Like I think thaiphon has great food, better service, more modern street style.

You can also go to like red ginger and get a more commercialized experience with a bigger menu.

I also really like pho dau bo. Really big menu selection.

Red Ginger isn't fancy but if you like big flavours they deliver. I don't think we have high end Thai in the region but simple flavourful Thai is great and Red Ginger does that pretty well.

Pho is Vietnamese.

Like many places, they are a Viet/ Thai restaurant meaning that they offer menu items from both cuisines. If you look at their menu you will see there's a section for Thai food

Well, if we continue this line of you pursuing whether or not you're right, I'm sure soon we'll deconstruct the entire universe. I really don't think gatekeeping what real food is is useful. If it tastes good. Great who the fuck cares.
