I found maesri too hot as well, I use half a jar of valcom for a small curry and it's hot enough and has taste too
I like Maesri for the overall flavour and I have used it to good effect before, but probably with more balancing elements for the green curry (maybe added pumpkin or sweet potato). And coconut cream not this coconut milk powder nonsense I'm trying out. I love their red curry and panang curry pastes. Unfortunately I don't find valcom or the other main brands to be enough for me (haven't tried Mae Ploy), I have usually needed to zhuj them up a lot more with extra aromatics and at that point why even use a curry paste. Or they are just too overwhelmingly sweet
