They make wonderful oyster sauce substitutes that contain no oyster, made with mushroom and is actually very good. Or try subbing with Hosin sauce which does not have seafood.

I do this when I cook Thai since I don't eat seafood.

Shrimp past subs are a little tougher since nothing on it's own really captures the taste needed for dishes. One good recipe is mixing red bean paste and miso with a dash of soy sauce, it's as close as you will get to that flavor without the actual bottomfeeders in there.

Thai food is fun to cook.

Yeah, maybe ****ty cookie-cutter Thai. Really good Thai is amazing, and it's based around hand ground pastes made of chilies and spices. We tend to often get overly oily, overly sweet, not very good stuff in the states. It's not actual Thai, but I've had better luck with Laotian and Burmese food than I have with Thai.

Coriander. They stick absolute ****tons of it in everything. Eating Thai food is like biting into a bar of soap.

Still tasty as **** though.

Basil is delicious. Try getting some olive oil super hot in a heavy pan and frying it up, bread the basil in some flour water and you can eat them like chips with a little salt. So good.

Thai has a lot of vegan friendly food.  One of the reasons I love it.

Also Thai food >>>>>>>>>>>>> Indian food.  Thai and Vietnamese food just have so many clean flavors and tend to not be as heavy, though they can be.  Also, sweet sticky rice and mango is one of the best desserts I have ever had.

I'm sure there are light flavored Indian Cuisine..

Though for real, I've never seen anyone cook it or in the restaurants..

All of my Indian friends also has that Indian smell on them, So you know they're eating the heavy stuff. .hahahaha
