I usually go to a place recommended to me by some of my Thai students-- Sawooei, on San Pablo, just north of the intersection with Moeser. Located, oddly enough, above the pink Budget Motel. Always busy, but never full. Food is rich, and not cheap--the bill usually runs about $10-15 per person in my experience. They do serve durian on a bed of sticky rice and coconut milk for dessert, although the durian is frozen. But it is still durian. You could probably get them to substitute mango.

Good Thai in the East Bay?
