Sorry.
We do have a fairly large variety of chilli varieties available at our nurseries and garden centres and, while I would favour planting varieties more suitable for SE Asian cooking, there are also as often those I'd associate with Mexican and South American. They are, to my mind, quite attractive plants when fruiting, such that I know "ornamentals" are often sold (though that reminds me of an annoying, descriptive tag on said plants: "[this plant] is strictly ornamental with fruit that has a very fiery taste" - why call it strictly ornamental then describe the taste of its fruit?).
And you remind me I have to make green curry paste again today (and, unrelated, beetroot relish).
Cheers,
Marc
