Which Chilli varieties would be best to grow to help my Thai cookery? ?

Question

Which seed varieties are used most in Thai cookery? I live in the UK and have a unheated greenhouse. I have grown several varieties if chilli in the past like Tom Long, Apache and Hot Wax but supermarket chillis are just labelled as Thai - no variety named. Do you know what they may be?

Answer 1

Thai Sun or Thai Dragon.  I think Thai Dragon and Thai Hot are the same pepper.  That's the one that I have and the peppers are HOT!  

Answer 2

if you like your chilli hot then the small red ones, if you like it mild the larger ones, it depends on you alone

Answer 3

If you can find seed for "small bird chilli" that would be a perfect variety for you to use for Thai cooking..

Answer 4

Thai Hot

Ornamental compact little bush about 90 cm high, so can be grown on a windowsill. Lots of 2cm upright very hot chillis ripening to red, good in oriental dishes.
