If a dish is traditionally spicy... yeah it should be spicy. But not all food in a cuisine is spicy... like that's such a broad generalization lol

Can I join the eye rolling please?
I'm not Thai, I'm Indian (of the Bengali variant), but we suffer the same "authentic = spicy" stereotype. It is especially ironic to me, because an authentic Bengali meal is one where you're served a slice of lime, a green chilli and a pinch of salt before any food comes your way, so you can season to taste

The spice level should be as hot as you're comfortable with, thats how Thai people cook at home.

I teali realise I’m commenting to to two Thai ladies ( one whose recipe book I love to use )but when I’ve been to Thailand the food has been spicy 🤷🏻

Even the question itself shows the confusion - for many if not most speakers of English, "spicy" means "hot", despite hot spices being a tiny subset of spices. There's plenty of foods that have a tidal wave of spices and herbs without having capsaicin in them, but that's not what people mean when they say "spicy".
And then even if we clarify "hot" - here in the Midwest, I know people who honestly consider a dish "hot" (or "spicy") if it has garlic or black pepper in it. They literally have no idea what hot food feels like. When they ask me if a dish is "too spicy", I tell them to ask someone else, because they're likely to be overwhelmed by something I consider mellow or bland.

Asian cuisines are known to make and offer alternatives. Spicy to non spicy. Meat base to seafood to vegetarian. Plant based, vegan friendly to other plant and bug based, vegetarian friendly. A part of asian cuisines I like to stick by is the lack of constriction and options for alternatives. If there’s no alternatives and still doesn’t taste good it’s not asian, imho. The great asian chefs will always find a way to make em all fit together!!

I invested in Thai Restaurent in Norway. The chef told me that they deliberately make the spicy dishes less spicy other way the customer would not be able to taste the other flavours.

not all Thai food is incredibly spicy, for instance: dTom Kah (Galangal Soup)
the trouble is, the patrons are constantly begging for the food not to be spicy in Thai restaurants, so they make it so inauthentically all the time to satisfy all the cryers
the same happens in Indian restaurants, & it is always the people who eat with just a fork & lost most of the flavor in a dish like somtom

Ah yes, of course I want authentic spicy mango sticky rice.

i love spicy and hot Thai food, but if we look at India, which of course is famous for "would melt the sun hot food" and stay with an Indian family, you'll find most of the meals they eat are not hot at all and you discover that most Indian's actually don't eat hot food all the time but have that signature flavour. So of course this is likely to be the same case in Thailand too. but this is just my perspective as a foreigner and as a human we tend to naturally stereotype and make assumptions without realising, i think it "boils" down to personal taste, my Thai girl for instance loves it spicy, but her son doesn't and prefers more western flavours.

How to make Phad Pet no spicy and would it make sense to make it no spicy ?

I'm allergic to chili, so my options are limited. I honestly don't "care" if it's authentic as long as it tastes good.
But I can't with the gate keeping. Because of my allergies, my family has to limit their spice usage and aren't as used to spicy food as they could be. Good to know they still can enjoy authentic food despite not having it burn their taste buds off.

If I'm having Khao Mun Gai, then no, it shouldn't be spicy. If I'm having Som Tum, then yes, it better be at least a little painful. It seems like it depends on the dish.

I'm Thai, but I eat pad krapao, som tam, and tom yum… without chili. I never get into trouble ordering Thai food 'without chili.' Just eat it how you like — no one’s gonna play food police. Rule number one: be happy with the flavor you love.

To simply answer
Not every dish needs to be Spicy
SomTum and PadKaprao? absolutely
PadThai? nah
and overall the Spiciness can be varied depends on how much people can tolerate it.

I just remember, some foods can be like Stu (Chok, a tasteless, difficult-to-digest food)

I don't quite understand the "spicy level challenge" at some Thai restaurants overseas. In Thailand we don't have this kind of "challenge". Thai food's spicy is not meant to go overboard, I think.

If the food is not spicy, it's still food, and food is often seasoned to the taste of those meant to consume it.
I like well-seasoned food with an appreciation of food tastes and flavours of many worldly cultures and regions...
Thai food is among them.

One question that I think is more interesting is, are there people who are borned and raised in Thailand who don't like spicy food or have low tollerance for it?
