Is Thai or Indian Food Spicier?
It really depends on the dish! Some Thai curries will blow your socks off, but a good Vindaloo from India can give it a run for its money.

Hot take: Thai food wins the spice war for sure. Those bird's eye chilies don't mess around!
Having traveled to both Thailand and India, I can confidently say Thai food usually feels spicier because they often use fresh chilies. Indian food's heat is more complex and sneaks up on you.
Both Thai and Indian food can pack a punch, but I'd say Thai food often hits with a more immediate, fiery heat thanks to fresh chilies. Indian food, on the other hand, tends to have a more layered spice profile with a slow burn from spices like cumin and turmeric.
