More than reasonable lol. I’ve seen food sent back quite a bit at restaurants for this reason and I have never worked in a restaurant before, definitely a daily occurrence.

And there’s a lot of people that wildly underestimate what “Thai hot” actually is. If they really want to challenge you, they will fuck you up with spicy flavor.

Why would you return food if you ordered it spicy and then received something spicy? Are people that retarded?

100% would go to this place every chance I get, even if I didn’t want anything spicy that day. Yeah. Gonna be spicy. When the menu has something with 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ on it, yeah. Gonna be spicy. No refunds. When in doubt, order something milder. If you want it spicier, most thai places have a little caddy of pepper flakes and pickled birds eyes, just ask (they’re delicious). Hate getting asked “are you sure” (ginger af). Yes. I was here yesterday and the owner said “oh shit farang more thai than me”.
Also hurts me horribly when people ruin their pho by throwing enough sriracha in to turn it red before even tasting it. Same with salt. Buy food, ruin food, too bad.

Most places I’ve ever eaten Thai it has a 1-10 scale. I’ve never been even a bit uncomfortable at the 10 level.
Scale For those wondering – buldak 2x spicy ramen with spices mixed in after the water is drained is about as much as I can handle without taking a break.
Would never return food if it was too spicy. Would just attempt to cope lol

I always tell them I’ll pay double if it’s too hot for me…
Decades later, haven’t paid double yet. Even had one little old Thai lady try her hardest and then shake her head while calling me crazy when I wouldn’t even move for the water glass.
BRING IT ON!

That is absolutely funny. Whenever I think of Thai food I feel my mouth on fire. Next thing they will make customers sign waivers lol

When in the world would you refund people for that just give them some coconut shavings and walla problem solved

I once went to a restaurant with a spice level so high, the staff asked us not to order it unless desperate as it causes a lot of physical pain in the kitchen. Not sure if it was a marketing tactic but they seemed genuinely apologetic and a little scared

I once had a chef offer to exchange my lam nam tok when he saw my lily white ass sitting in the dining area in case my “Thai spicy/ fuck be up fam” food was too spicy. I’d love to see a sign like this because it would mean there’s a good chance I’m actually going to get spicy food.

My favourite Thai restaurant has 4 levels of heat. Mild, medium, hot and Thai hot. I’m not game to try Thai hot because hot is pretty spicy.

I just looked up the menu at my favorite Thai spot and “Hot”, which I order, is the middle spice level. They also have X-Hot, Thai Hot and Hot As Possible. Damn, now I want some Thai food.

Better than my thai restaurant that stopped offering “xtra spicy” option alltogether

I ordered spicy Thai ONCE when I lived in Hawaii and I’ve never made that mistake again. Now I stick to medium and use the extra stuff in the little jars if it’s not spicy enough.

My favorite Thai restaurant I go to has spicy mash at the table. They recommend under ordering on heat, then add yourself

As it should be. Power through it mfer.

I ask the server what Thai people think is hot. They have no scales or gimmicks. They serve it. Heat varies, but I like raw ghost peppers. Never been disappointed at my local places.

Good

I’d probably shake the managers hand for this sign.

Good, it sucks that the owner manager had to deal with a bunch of bad customers

I 100% support this. I am getting tired of having to convince waiters that I actually do want my food spicy.
