It depends on the particular Thai restaurant but is either coarsely ground crushed red pepper flakes or coarsely ground dried red chilies, I love the stuff!

Ask the waiter or waitress on your next visit.

Is it used as a dry spice or sauce? It could be a rich peanut sauce, though I know the Thai restaurant here just lists one of them as "brown sauce"
