Red curry is usually the hottest Thai curry but you can control the amount of heat by controlling the amount of curry paste you add in proportion to the amount of coconut milk.  For spicier curries, add more curry paste.  For milder curries, add less curry paste and more coconut milk.  This holds true for all Thai curries.

My favorites are Panang & Massaman curries.

Of course, if you make your own curry paste -- you control all of the ingredients.  If you make it the traditional Thai way (mortar/pestle) it can be laborious.  But if you have a food processor or blender, that will be best!
