What is this?

I have a TON of these dried peppers. It's a pretty common looking pepper, but I want to know what it is.

Someone gave me a load of these still "on the vine" so I used a bunch and dried the rest (air dried so the seeds are still viable). I threw a bunch in a planter box last year and they grew really well for peppers I didn't really pay attention to (over crowded, under watered and just generally ignored). I just used them to snack on while cutting the grass (some decent heat)

I'm just organizing my seed stash and wanted to properly label them.

Any ideas? I found about a dozen names for similar pics doing google searches!

They look like Cayenne to me. Of course, WTF do I know!!!

I'm thinking Thai Dragon or Thai Hot

Looks like the thai chilis I buy at the chinese store for my sauce

Too small for most cayennes.

I'm with ya on the Thai. Its highly suggested by the thin long stems imo.

I will also go with "Thai"

Thai is what I was calling them too. I have another that I was told was a "Vietnamese" pepper.

A larger version of this. Pics of the "Vietnamese Tearjerker" look pretty much identical.
I have less of those.

If anyone is looking for some Thai seeds, let me know!
