Thai green curry gets its colour from fresh green chillies, not herbs. It's typically the hottest of the Thai curries, green chillies are hotter than red ones. The coconut milk tames the heat rather than removing it.

Tom Yum is one of Thailand's most celebrated dishes. "Tom" means to boil and "Yum" means spicy sour, so it's literally a boiled spicy sour soup. It's been a staple of Thai cooking for centuries.
