Can't remember the name, something my sister in SoCal was growing a couple of years back. I saved some seed from them, got them to grow. Dragon something, so if not from Thailand then probably in that area.
I can no longer find them, the Thai peppers I grew in the 90's looked like some of what they call ornamental peppers. Smaller and less pointy than those ones in you picture. Hotter than this black version too.
I was in University then, had a young classmate said he liked hot stuff. So I gave him some serranos and others, including the little Thai ones. He came to class one day and asked WTF did I do to him.
I'd warned him, to go easy with them. He, thinking they were just little fellas, put 5 of them in a skillet of stir fry!
Said he's eyes were watering and snot was running. I told him I love hot spicy stuff and usually only use one or two at most for a fry pan full of food.
Them Thais know their stuff when it comes to hot peppers!
Those ones in your pic look pretty close though. I'm going to see if I can find some seed or a starter plant at one of the nearby (within 100 miles) nurseries.
