I don't specifically have any recipes for fresh Thai chiles, but I typically
use them the same way that I use, say, cayenne chiles.  The heat is a little
more and the flavor is not quite as complex, but I've found that they are
very tasty in Cajun dishes.  Also, you can start any type of stir fry with
minced Thai chiles, minced garlic, scallions, ginger and minced fermented
black beans -- after sauteing these items in your (chile) oil, build your
stir fry on top of it.  Lastly, one of my favorite "quickie" meals this time
of year (when tomatoes and chiles are fresh) is to saute minced chiles and
garlic in some oil then add some chopped roma tomatoes (skin, seeds, and
all) and warm through -- toss this mixture with pasta and whatever fresh
herbs you have in your garden.

Finally, I have a few recipes for canning Thai chiles for use throughout the
year.  Let me know if you are interested.
