Kung pao chicken is a Chinese dish. The stuff I had was the Chinese-American version. The cashew chicken I had at the Thai restaurant is also a Chinese dish but it just goes to show that the Thais enjoy Chinese food as much as anyone. Generally speaking, if your cashew chicken has oyster sauce in it, it's Chinese. If it's got fish sauce instead, it's Thai.
