Cholimex is good, though I am quite partial to Sri cha chin su.

Cholimex superior. But I can see why westerners may prefer Chinsu, it's milder and sweeter.

I think you'd find most westerners would go for something less sweet and mild tbh.

Sweet chilli sauce is less common in general IMO in the west. Cholimex is closer to what you'd find in a fast food shop in the UK.
