How is Oregano used in Thai cooking?

Oregano is a flowering herb in the mint family, with a pungent, slightly camphor-like flavour that's strongest when fresh. People have dried and cooked with it for thousands of years, mostly in Mediterranean food. It isn't a traditional Thai or Akha herb - you won't find it in a curry paste - but it appears in the fusion and Western dishes a modern kitchen sometimes cooks. Think of it as a familiar Mediterranean note rather than part of the local palette.
