Thai hots are about 2 inches long and about as big around as half a pencil. I
would say they look like a red doobie but a lot of younger folk don't know what
a doobie is. They do point straight up and are very hot. I use them with other
chiles to make my hot sauce and also dry and grind them to add to black pepper,
to use as is in small amounts.
