I just spent the weekend in Chicago. I thought Red Ginger was pretty good. In the 3100 North Naragansett block (it's on the right if you're going north - it looks like a nice building and it has an awning) across from the library branch.
Get a lunch special for $6, it's the same portion size as the regular orders, and includes sizzling rice soup, thai salad, and some sort of appetizer. My old lady ordered some Cajun Catfish (not a special - a thai version of the New Orleans style) and delightful squeals could be heard that I haven't since, well, maybe 1997. As a starter, the salmon sticks, or whatever, appetizer were wonderful, too, with a great peanut sauce. Not that I noticed, but the waiter was cute, with an enthusiastic disposition thowards Thai food, and she made great recommendations.
On the west side sort of in a Mexican/Polish/Arab neighborhood. Forget about public transportation - it's on the west side. Lots of street parking, though. Also, since I grew up in the burbs, it's a neighborhood I would go to only when the sun shines. Probably OK at night if you watch your back or are from out of town.
Also, at O'Hare or Midway, if you're willing to hoof it to the CTA train, there is a Rosemont stop. I think the one-way charge is $1.75, and of course there are weekend and 5-day visitor passes. I have no idea what type fo setup exists from the Rosemont stop to the Rosemont hotels and convention center. The short of the long is Rosemont is very accessible from anywhere in Chicago with a CTA train/subway stop.
