I don't think there is a minimum; you have to call in advance and tell them how many people you are and how much you wish to spend and that determines how many courses they'll feed you. I highly recommend trying it -- I have had real Thai food (in Bangkok) and this was as exotic to me. Authentic or not, it was really delicious (request red snapper for sure).

What's the minimum number of people for the banquet menu? While I was in southeast Asia (mainly for the food, though also for the music and dance/ritual theater), my spice tolerance increased to ridiculous levels. After a bit of serious (and largely pleasurable---at the very least, intense---pain (but then I'm a masochist...), and a little bit of pungent diarrhea.) Now my tolerance is back to being much lower, though I eat at Zocalo or Tandoor or Sitar almost every other day. Have you been munching jalapenos every day?... maybe your tolerance is just down a bit since your days of being a tough Texan gourmand. to eat spices strong as boiling metal, -- as my dear ancestors did around their fires.
