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

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

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
