If your not in induction I think Satay is allowed. And somewhere I saw a recipe for Pad Thai without noodles. I think it was in Dana's book, 500 Low Carb recipes.
I love Thai food myself, and they cook some great fish, which is legal.

Thai recipes are fairly easy to tweak for low carb. Sauces that include rice vinegar and sugar can be made with white vinegar and Splenda instead. Replace rice noodles with low carb Japanese "shirataki" or "konnyaku" noodles. Replace rice with grated cauliflower stir fried briefly with a little sesame oil. Take it easy on the curry sauces and use only small amounts of raw unsweetened coconut milk which is fairly moderate in carbs.

One really delicious Thai recipe involves steamed fish with shredded ginger, garlic and black soybeans. That's low carb already.

I also like Vietnamese "salad meals" with stir fried chicken and/or pork, a cup of shredded lettuce, a cup of bean sprouts, some shredded cucumbers and fresh basil and mint leaves. Instead of the traditional vinegar-sugar sauce, I use vinegar, nuoc mam (Vietnamese fish sauce) and chicken broth. This can be sweetened with Splenda but it's fine with no sweetening at all.
