Why is Thai Food so Spicy?
Many consumers have noted that Thai food, and Asian foods in general, can be intensely spicy. Chilies create the spicy kick of Thai food, and if you are eating at a cooperative Thai restaurant, they can usually moderate or increase this ingredient on request. There are a number of reasons for this spiciness including preservation of unstable ingredients and personal taste, and you may find yourself learning to enjoy it over time.
