Is this a Thai Pepper ?

I bought this plant as a Thai Pepper but I'm not 100% sure its a Thai pepper plant. The peppers are 1/4 to 3/4 of an inch.

Looks like it to me, commonly called the "rat turd" chili amongst my friends of Vietnamese ancestry.  This was the first year I didnt grow any, picking all those little chili is pain staking at times.  I dont see how people do it with the Tepin, I guess the reward is worth it. 
 
cheers

OK Thanks this is my first year growing peppers and they seemed a little small compared to the Thai peppers I've seen in my food at the Thai restaurants. Thanks !
 
FYI- my wife loves this little plant because its small and the colorful peppers. So I put it into a small clay pot and will bring it inside for the winter.

I think most people will tell you the Tepin has better flavor and for its size a pretty good bite.  I dont think they are any hotter, maybe tastier though.
