Around here in houston, an equivalent of "5 level" spiciness isn't even that spicy, cos it's adjusted for westerners.

  Mmm, Thai food.  An ex of mine went to high school at ISB(international school of Bangkok), so I go a good lesson in what authentic Thai tastes like.  We tried all 3 of the restaurants available here, and found one run by a wonderful family.  The thom kai gai(sp?) is the best, as well as the pad thai.  And they had 5 levels of spicy.  Thai hot(#5) was no joke; I can handle pretty spicy, and 3 was a struggle.  I had a friend that would get #5 hot and it was fun to watch the sweat pour out and his eyes bulge when he ate that stuff.

  I haven't been there for more than a year, and I just found out that they went out of business.  :-(  For one I'll miss the food, but even more so I feel bad that they couldn't make the cut; they were wonderful people.  The young couple, the old thai grandmother that did the cooking, and they had just had a gorgeous little girl.  Ah well....

  Eri*K*a,

  Hope you feel better.
  I found a good cure last night - Thai food
  :-)

  We discovered a restaurant 5 miles from house named Hot Basil - the menu is half Indian food, half Thai, both good.
