I love True Thai by Victor Sodsook, published by Morrow. It's a hardback, a good five years old, but definitely still in print as I see it in bookstores all the time. This is by far the very best Thai cookbook I've ever seen. It is truly authentic.
This is great you have access to a Southeast Asian market or a grocery store with a well-stocked Asian section. If you can't get the ingredients (fish sauce, fresh herbs, Thai soy sauces) the cookbook will just frustrate you.
The book is not specifically low-fat, but many of the recipes (and there are hundreds of them) are low fat anyway, or can be easily adjusted. What I love about this book is that there are very few red meat recipes at all - it's entirely chicken, seafood, and vegetarian (TONS of vegetarian recipes - whole chapters!)
I haven't made a single recipe from the book that wasn't fabulous.
