    Great dish, whether with oyster mushrooms (my usual) or chanterelles. From what I've read, you can find them in the north, and I certainly had them in the dish back when I had the great pleasure of eating at Nahm when Thompson still ran the kitchen.

    I owned a restaurant in Thailand. The chance of finding a chanterelle mushroom in that country is almost nil. The chance of finding one in Dtom khaa gai is less than nil, you would have to bring your own to the restaurant and slip it in when nobody is looking! It is a pretty bizarre choice of ingredient for Thai food. Oyster and straw mushrooms are by far the most common mushrooms used in this soup, often in combination but with oyster mushrooms being the most usual. Other than that this is a good recipe.
