I think for spiciness, Thai food wins. The flavors are so distinct (ex. pad thai, pad see ew, etc). It's become pretty popular in the west coast of USA where I live. There's a chain called Thai spice and it's pretty known now. Also, there's numerous Thai restaurants all over the place.
And apparently Europeans like it too. I was in England 2011 summer and found more than 5 Thai restaurants in one city. Pretty interesting.

Most thai restaurants tone down the spice. I love spicy. I'm trying to grow Bhut Jolokia aka Ghost Chili peppers.
Whenever I eat at thai restaurants, I ask for more spice...but they still don't get it spicy enough.
Sometimes, I'm tempted to bring my Dave's Insanity hot sauce.
When I travel to Japan, I usually go to a local grocery store and buy Japanese Red chili peppers. Then, I'll take them with me to add to my meals...but I try to sneak the bites of pepper in, because some restaurants will take offense.
