Maybe, but I think his point is that pad Thai isn’t a spicy dish to begin with. So it would be a weird complaint to make in the first place.

I don’t pretend to be an expert on thai food, so I can’t speak to the “traditional” way to prepare it, but in my experience pass thai being spicy is about 50/50 at restaurants I’ve been to, and there certainly isn’t anything wrong with asking it to be made spicy

Pad Thai isn’t even a “traditional dish” in the sense that it s old and costumary. It was invented in the 30’s as a part of nationalist project.

I mean, I’d say a dish that’s 100 years old is fairly old and customary at this point. Not ancient or anything, but 100 years is nothing to sneeze at

If Thai people can throw tuna on waffles, I think you can have your pad Thai however you want.
