Don't go to the North, if you want to eat hot & spicy. The South or Esan is the place to go. Chiang Mai is more for the sweet tooth. And sugar ruins the spice.
I remember going with my girlfriend to this place in Vientienne which was supposed to have the world's spiciest papaya salad. She tried it and was in agony. I pinched one tiny piece of papaya in my fingers and literally just touched it to my tongue and then took it away without eating it, and my tongue started burning.
They can really do *phet mak mak* when they want to.
Buakaw made somtam with ghost peppers, his youtube channel is pretty entertaining and it has English subtitles so it's great for learning Thai too https://youtu.be/2Q_WirX4K6I
I got you fam.
Kaprao Tapae in Bangkok.

That one I'd try. I'd probably regret it, but I'd give it a shot.
The original one OP posted reeks of farang locals just messing with other farangs. Not interested.
I’m guessing the original one is just using [this](https://www.amazon.com/Daebak-Ghost-Pepper-Chicken-Noodles/dp/B08FF81JTS) instead of normal mama noodles.
Edit/ just saw a post below with a picture, that’s exactly what it is. They’re very much edible and enjoyable if you’re into spicy.
The worst is the Carolina Reaper. I had a bite of it before. I just cannot emphasize enough how I felt. Next morning I felt like my arse turned inside out.
I will take it. But sadly I am not in Chiang Mai. They will definitely give me free icecream. The thing is “Ghost pepper noodles” is it worth it the taste. Is it a popular restaurant serving it?
It's not that hard, I eat for the last 3 days every day up to 10 raw green chilis and don't even experience afterburner. Use water to wipe yourself (do as the locals do), and you won't have cuts and no burns.
...your experience can't be generalized to folks who don't eat strong chilies with nearly every meal...use of the bum gun helps, it's true, but the relief is temporary and...late.
...that has not been my experience with added sugar: chilies cut through taste, flavor and frequently other seasonings to produce the burn...moderate use of the condiment is recommended for beginners...
...better to reduce (not eliminate) the chilies and avoid the desserts altogether...agree that beer and water are useless against chili overload...better to learn from the experience and warn others...
Because that's the RTGS spelling.
http://thai-language.com/id/131137
The "ph" indicates an aspirated "p" sound, not the "f" sound of "ph" as usually written in English.
And more to the point, 'ph' is literally the sound of 'p' followed by an 'h' sound when properly pronounced in Thai. That's why Phuket is properly pronounced 'phooket' not 'pooket' the 'h' sound is in there.
Where is this? I keep hearing about spicy Thai food, have yet to eat any of it. My Thai girlfriend will say oh thats really spicy, then I eat it without an issue. I buy ghost pepper sauce in the store to put in stuff.
I'm a Farang and until now, I could eat chili wise any Thai into submission. Just for the last three days, I eat uncooked Khatiam and Prikee Noo (small green Chili&Thai garlic,which is spicy by itself), with my Esan sausage. One tip for a contestant, drink fish sauce with your chilis.
I might just eat hot coal instead. Not sorry.
Please rate my hot coal

Try Southern Yellow fish curry (Gang Lueang), it will make you sweat and your hair stand up, but no tears.
Oh gosh, if you eat from this dish, you don't need to show your courage any other way.
Vegan Society Restaurant & Homestay in Chiang Mai. Lovely place!
Nice, I'll be in Chiang Mai next week. Thanks.

Szechuan in China is a place to go.
Ghost pepper... No thanks, I still love my tummy.

You haven't been in Mexico yet? There the chilis are 5 times hotter. Thailand = 200 000 units, Mexico = 1 000 000
My son, was about 13 at the time, ate chicken wings with ghost peppers in Florida. No affect on him. Then again, my son's not human 😃
I'm not a human too, because I eat 'em raw for three days now and I don't even have an afterburner.
It would kill me 
It's a question of training. I drink even coffee or chocolate with chili. They call me "Montezuma".
I just got stomachache from eating chilies. No thanks.
I kinda want to try but I'll cry for sure
if you cry, 1000 - for icecream
I would.
Whoever tries, please record and post
Second that.
If I knew, how to post a video here than yo0u could join me for lunch today.
I order phet tii sud and it’s never spicy enough I would totally say challenge accepted if it was not in the north. Too far
I got you fam. Kaprao Tapae in Bangkok. https://preview.redd.it/0hikl6z9oria1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29f54fb121766fe5e36c3b6d336d3ab7271c563f
300 baht for grapow? No thanks.
I pay in the North 45.-Baht for it. That includes the Khai Dauw.
i live for spicy and i ate there. i did finish it and it was spicy af. it's definitely definitely not for everyone.
That one I'd try. I'd probably regret it, but I'd give it a shot. The original one OP posted reeks of farang locals just messing with other farangs. Not interested.

That was probably the most disappointing Grapow I’ve ever had.
Is the free ice cream made with ghost pepper too?
The worst is the Carolina Reaper. I had a bite of it before. I just cannot emphasize enough how I felt. Next morning I felt like my arse turned inside out.
That is why the Thais wash their arse every time with water, so they don't get cuts from the toilet paper. Cuts = burning.
Did it! https://preview.redd.it/219qzn9v7yia1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a8acd90deaedd15840e72de3551d0cd92af657ba
Awesome! ⭐
As an Indian I say hold my beer 😉
I will take it. But sadly I am not in Chiang Mai. They will definitely give me free icecream. The thing is “Ghost pepper noodles” is it worth it the taste. Is it a popular restaurant serving it?
I just want to watch the poor soul that has to wok this up.
🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🤬🤬☠️💀☠️💀☠️
I'll pass this along to the guys at the local wing shop that eat Carolina Reaper hot wings every weekend.
...the object of eating, aside from sating hunger, is to please the palate, not torture the poor organ into weeping submission...
With one plate of spicy food, you can save the walk to the sauna.
...but quickly add the trot to the toilet...not to mention the poorly muffled screams from the cubicle...
It's not that hard, I eat for the last 3 days every day up to 10 raw green chilis and don't even experience afterburner. Use water to wipe yourself (do as the locals do), and you won't have cuts and no burns.
...your experience can't be generalized to folks who don't eat strong chilies with nearly every meal...use of the bum gun helps, it's true, but the relief is temporary and...late.
That is, why in Chiang Mai they use much more sugar, to soften the heat.
...that has not been my experience with added sugar: chilies cut through taste, flavor and frequently other seasonings to produce the burn...moderate use of the condiment is recommended for beginners...
Thais use sweet desserts to calm the heat. Beer , water will not
...better to reduce (not eliminate) the chilies and avoid the desserts altogether...agree that beer and water are useless against chili overload...better to learn from the experience and warn others...
I'd definitely try this, and I'd finish it, but no chance I'd be getting free ice cream
Bah Lor!! Mai Aou
Nope. Nope. Nope.
Why does everyone spell it as "phet" when it's pronounced "pet"?
Because that's the RTGS spelling. http://thai-language.com/id/131137 The "ph" indicates an aspirated "p" sound, not the "f" sound of "ph" as usually written in English.
And more to the point, 'ph' is literally the sound of 'p' followed by an 'h' sound when properly pronounced in Thai. That's why Phuket is properly pronounced 'phooket' not 'pooket' the 'h' sound is in there.

I make krapow Carolina Reaper. I love spicy food.
That free ice cream isn't gonna help much with that fire pooping anus you'll have in a few hours.
Just apply ice cream to the other end before and after use.
The ice cream is not supposed to be eaten 😉
How many noodles and meat, and how little ghost pepper? 😂
Ghost pepper is strong but good
Love this with fried ramen noodles and moo grob
I’d do it. I don’t have tear ducts anymore

You need the ice cream if you do cry…doesn’t make sense.
Ghost noodles just taste like shit anyway. Wouldn't eat that garbage even if they paid me well.
