I usually judge a thai restaurant by two things - how good their yellow curry is and how good their Tom Ka Gai soup is - this looks a lot simpler than I imagined it would be, I look forward to trying it.

Galangal, am I right to think this is like fresh ginger? and the lemon leaves... can I use off my tree or do I buy special?

I have a thai grocery store down the street, so finding things like galangal and lemongrass just got a lot easier. Can't wait to try it!
