Oh shit!  Don't use Thai chilis!  It'd be waaay too hot. It calls for a different milder chili which we don't have but as recommended substitute by Andy Ricker, I use puya chilis from the Mexican section or a Mercado if you have one. Guajillos would work in a pinch.

It looks like you've got some choices on Mercados but slim pickings on Asian stores.

I would try Asian House first , Green Grocer second. Lucky they are right next to each other.

I would not use a ground chili powder. I think it might affect the texture.

We used your Nam phrik kha in our panko bread crumbs frying up pork chops last night.  It was good, but used all of it and I don't think it was enough.   We ground it into a powder.

No matter!   I'm on a mission to make this stuff.  Wife loves the aroma and flavor as do I, and it isn't too hot for the kids.I'm planning on using it as a grilling staple.  

Now, if only my International spice shop has galangal and thai chilies.  Fingers crossed.

Haven't been drinking much lately but I did last night. Eeesh. Feeling it today so...Christmas jazz and morning mimosas!
