Spicy Thai Food: Thai food is famous for its small chillies/pimento ("Phrik Khi Noo"). They come in a variety of colours including red and green. Usually they are cut in slices for the Thai food dishes. They can also be ground. A common misconception by people is that they think they can get rid of the spicy taste by drinking water. This is untrue. A good way to get rid of the spicy taste is to eat rice.
