Cooking Thai and other Asian dishes, you might have to find some specific ingredients from Asian stores or Asian groceries. You won't have a problem if you have China Town not so far away from you, or you could find some online Asian stores from the internet.
In case that you have difficulties in finding ingredients from Asia (or Thailand for specific), you just have to adapt from whatever you can find. As you already know that the main ingredient of Thai Food is Thai chilli. Although not all dishes contain chilli, but if you can't find Thai chilli, you can simply replace it with other chilli, depending on where you are. For other herbs like lemon grass, Bai Kra Prao, Bai Ma Grood and others you might be able to find dry ones. Unless, you can't find, perhaps the local herbs with spicy scent will do. Or coconut milk, instead of fresh coconut milk, you may use powdered coconut milk that you dissolve in water. It's always possible to modify.. although your dish may be totally different from original Thai.. but it's alright! You're free to design the ingredients and be proud of it!
