I haven't been to Siam in a while, but I have ordered 'Thai-hot' the last
2 times.
Each time they only just seemed to add red pepper flakes to my dish
just before bringing it out!  I like my 'hot' cooked into my food.

Thai Luang is much more to my taste.  The thai-hot is _Spicy_.  The appetizers
are good (Crying Tiger.... yumm).  I haven't had a bad dish there yet.
They never seem crowded, are they doing good business?
