The shibboleth for getting really spicy food at a Thai placed is to order it "phed phed". Phed means spicy and in Thai you can repeat some adjectives for emphasis.

This works equally well in Touristy places in Thailand as in Thai run restaurants back home (Switzerland) in my experience.

My wife, who taught English in Thailand for two years, taught me to order food "nik noy" because Thai spicy isn't like my country's spicy.
