Whereabouts are you from? Asking because an interesting anecdote I've heard is that there's a difference between how the spiciness in Mexican & Thai food materialises, Mexican being more of a quick burn that calms down with Thai being more of a slow burner & Americans being more used to the Mexican variant are better able to handle that and usually feel that Thai food is hotter, while Brits are potentially more used to Thai spiciness and as such may find Mexican more challenging. This was coming from a British ex-pat to US, so was from their personal experience. But still, interesting difference potentially and maybe something you experienced when trying Thai food if you're more used to Mexican?
Sorry, just saw the reply! For some reason I don't see my notification bar icon lighting up (or maybe I just don't notice it).
I'm from the US but I'm mainly used to eating Indian Food (so I can handle Indian spiciness). I definitely agree where Thai is more of a slow burn. Indian spiciness is probably not as quick as Mexican spiciness but definitely quicker than Thai food.
