~100% Germination Rate
Rookie gardener here, so I'll just say what I know so far:1) The package they sent contained more than 150 seeds, not 90. No complaints about this.2) Given the seed count, we decided to go for quantity over quality and planted between 2 and 4 seeds per plug across 50 Rapid Rooter plugs. I soaked the seeds in tea for about 20 minutes before planting them.3) Left them alone over a heat mat and didn't ventilate them much (no fan, one side of the Rapid Rooter vent left open but otherwise just ignored them) as it is still a little chilly in our home this time of year.3) It has been around 2 weeks and we have one or more sprouts coming out of every single plug. Some have 3 or 4 sprouts. The germination rate is phenomenal. They are growing quickly as well - will probably transplant into cups within another week.Obviously too early to rate the chilies, but these seeds far surpassed our expectations in terms of their germination rate. Reading some of the other reviews, I was worried we were going to end up with a bunch of dead seeds or something. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of 35 or so pepper plants before they get too big for our grow room...EDIT: The chilies are delicious, we got probably close to 100 in the first season. I add them to nearly everything we cook. Not a superhot but definitely a zesty flavor and spice. Definitely authentic Thai bird's eye chilies.

After 2 1/2 months they're still little sprouts.
They all germinated but 2 1/2 months later they're still little sprouts.. I live in Boulder Creek CA. I have a mostly sunny back yard . I germinated the seeds in one large pot then moved them to many pots usually 2 to 4 in a pot they are growing on my back deck. They get lots of sunlight and plenty of warmth ( though it does cool off in evenings here in California). It's been in the 90's a lot lately in the day and I never let the soil dry out much (should I?). Revised 2 months later. Turns out hot peppers start out very slow and need to dry a bit between watering. They look great now.

Fair
Good germination rate, not as spicy as expected.

Germinates very successfully in rockwool!
Seeds germinated just fine! I should mention that I didn’t have a lot of patience with the paper towel method and sowed it in soil. The germination rate was low so I went ahead and tried rock wool. That’s when everything changed for me. Very high germination rate in rock wool and definitely won’t waste my time with other methods in the future. Now just have to wait and see how the plants turn out :)

Great for those who like hot peppers
Good peppers. Waiting to see how they grow.

Not sure what to say - no peppers (yet anyway)
I had no issues germinating these. I put them in a pot about May (in Wisconsin), watered them, covered them in plastic wrap and placed them where they would get sun before I could put them outside. Once the weather turned warm and rainy I put them outside. They have grown well (I put all the seeds in the pot). However, they are probably root bound as I have to water them daily (and about 1 gallon of water). No seeds yet so I wonder if I have Thai Basil too like some of the reviews and not the peppers. I did buy fresh Thai chili peppers from Amazon (ASIN: B000MZ7OUW) and they are great (I froze most of them). I am going to harvest some seeds (why did I not think of that sooner)?

Great Germination, Prolific Producer!
Great germination, 22 of 26 sprouted. Grown in Zone 9a, placed transplants in the ground March 1st. It is mid-July now and 18 of the 22 are still happy and healthy and producing more peppers than I can handle. Plants don't mind heat over 110 degrees F, with late afternoon shade and evening watering, but stop setting fruit in the low 90's.Pods do have quite a high number of seeds, but no more than other similar Thai peppers that I have grown in the past.P!ants were grown in-ground with the soil amended with mushroom compost and bone meal. Aside from being given fish emulsion every fortnight, no other fertilizer has been necessary.I am so happy with these plants that they will be part of my pepper garden for years to come.

Good Germination Rate!
These bird chili seeds germinated quite well. I think the package lists 70% germination rate and that's pretty close to the rate mine germinated. I planted in Miracle Gro seed starting potting mix, seed tray with humidity dome, and no heat mat. My basement stays a consistent 75-degree temperature during the hot summer months. Overall, I am very pleased. I had tried many different things in an attempt to germinate some Prik Ki Nu seeds that I purchased from a well-known seed supplier. Not even one of those germinated. I'll definitely be returning here to buy more.
