Hi everyone. I got these at an Asian store. They didn't have a label. They have no spice at all. Atleast to me they didn't taste very spicy. What are they?

Looks like a cayenne to me. I could be wrong.
Edit: Thai chili would be my second guess

The “no spice” is perplexing, but it can happen.
Your pepper looks identical to my own Thai Dragon peppers.
The anglicized title of the Thai Dragon is “prik chi faa”. Try looking that up and compare. You can contrast that with “prik kee noo”, which is the bird’s eye chili, and you’ll see that thier characteristic stubbiness is why I’d say it’s not a bird’s eye you have.
You might also have a “facing heaven” pepper/ “Chao tían jiao” (Chinese), which is another common pepper also known/used in various southeast Asian cuisines (“prik jeen” in Thai, meaning “Chinese chili”). Some of the images look like they’re stubby, some look just like yours. It’s a maybe.
Another guess I have is “prik jinda”, but I think you have a Dragon. It’s common.
I hope this helps you more than “it’s a Thai Chili”, lol. I’m just a Canadian guy who tries real hard in getting the proper IDs

It looks a little darker than Thai Birds Eye, but that would be my closed guess

Similar situation a week ago. Bought a pack of unlabeled chilis from an asian market that aren’t nearly as hot as I expected them to be (maybe slightly hotter than a serrano). I suspect mine are chile de arbol based on the stem and ridges. Your’s look a bit more like cayenne.

Looks like the thai peppers that I grew this year. But I don’t know why they weren’t hot.
