I am a Canadian of German/Irish decent. I am probably not the one to answer questions about Thai food. I have had Thai food and a lot of it is spicy, but some isn't. Of course, I have probably had only a very small sample of the different types of Thai food. I am certainly not an expert.

Take it easy,
Joe

>>I will do that. We have some good Thai restaurants around too. A few good Loatian restaurants too. So is Sum Taam very hot? I like hot Thai food, but sometimes it takes me a while to eat the real hot stuff...and a lot of water :-)

>>Sometimes I think people concentrate on how hot Thai food is too much...I like to concentrate on how good it tastes!

>>>No Dought. 1 or 2 weeks only leaves basically the wrong impression.
