I’m guessing you had it in tourist area. Pad Thai is traditionally a balance of sweet, sour, and salty. It wasn’t until I came to US that I start seeing pepper and chilli flakes on pad Thai

Pad Thai isn't even a traditional dish. It was manufactured by a government program in the 1930s

Author Mark Padoongpatt[6] maintains that pad thai is "...not this traditional, authentic, going back hundreds of years dish. It was actually created in the 1930s in Thailand. The dish was created because Thailand was focused on nation-building.[2] So this dish was created using Chinese noodles and called it pad Thai as a way to galvanize nationalism."[7]
