You could try " Pom Ou prik-kee noo lai lai"
But then you would need to insert toilet roll in fridge for
the fireworks later on.

NM,
Ha! Reminds me of my arguments wih my previous g/f when she was trying to teach me Korean. She had no patience, and I eventually gave up. I am finding my TGF a tad more understanding...

A few more comments to either confuse people further, or to educate them further, whichever way you see it.
degrees of spiciness using the adjective "phet" (spicy, fiery), where ph is a p-sound, NOT an f-sound:
mai phet (like saying "my pet" in english) - not spicy
phet nid-noy - a little bit spicy
phet phor-dee - reasonably spicy
phet mahk - very spicy
phet mahk mahk - very very spicy
DrLove's phrases will work too, but perhaps they're more difficult for a beginner to learn and remember. "sai prik" means "put chillies", so basically saying it that way is saying "put a little/lots of chillies". This is more commonly used when ordering somtam (raw papaya salad) than, for example, on-rice dishes. When ordering somtam, you can even specify the exact number of chillies you want in your salad.
And NaughtiusMaximus, at the risk of getting into an argument with you and then having to be porked by you, let me explain the kaeng ped phed mahk thing.
"gaeng" is a soup/curry.
"bped" is duck. p-sound is unaspirated p (try to say "pinga" like a spaniard and you'll have it)
phed, like the "ped" in "moped", is spicy
mahk = adverb meaning "very"
that'll be three baht fifty for my bus-ride home.

Sorry to resurrect an old post but my TGF said something one day I couldn't fathom.
I ordered 'namtok moo phet nitnoy', then she told the waiter to make it "mai phet mak". I asked her why she did that and she told me "not - spicy - very" meant the same as "spicy - little bit". She knows nitnoy isn't always spicy enough for me, so was this her way of telling the waiter?
She's from Surin so maybe a local way of putting things but heck, I was confused....

little spicy vs. not very spicy. it's still pretty arbitrary; your mouth is in the hands of the cook and his/her interpretation! too bad there's no "flame" system that's ubiquitous in thai restaurants in the states at work in thailand 
but, then again, that's what makes it an adventure.

Quote: from DrLove
little spicy - 'sai prik nitiau'
translation:
TG, thinking to herself upon watching DrL lose his trousers:
[Sigh] "Prick -- nitiao."
[nitiao -- a tiny amount, a single "nit"]
