What kind of coconut milk you use to prepare your Thai curry matters. You might make a choice between lite coconut milk and full-fat, rich, creamy coconut milk based on health considerations, in which lite coconut milk is supposedly the better choice for containing fewer calories (false) and fewer carbs (false) and less fat (true). However, full-fat coconut milk makes for a thicker, better-tasting curry, and coconut cream makes for the thickest and best-tasting curry of all.
