The Thai version, at least the one available in supermarkets here, has too much of a distinct garlicky taste for my taste buds.

It really is a matter of taste I suppose.

I accidentally bought the brand that is more common in Britain (Flying Goose). It wasn't as spicy as I expected so I put a fair dose in my tortilla and now I can't even think about it without feeling nauseous because it was way too salty and garlicky. The British variant apparently has 5x the amount of salt, is less spicy, and tastes strongly of garlic. And yet it uses the exact same visual design of the bottle, pretending to be the same thing.

If you want the spicier version of Flying Goose you need to buy the bottles with the red cap.

What does "too much of a distinct garlicky taste" mean? How can you possibly have too much garlic?

Not everybody likes the same foods or flavors as you, and that's okay.

Try a spoonful of toum.

Happily.

I love garlic, the more the better.

The problem with the Flying Goose sauce (yeah, that's the one) is that the taste is more like garlic powder, which I think tastes disgusting.

BTW: I think it's a fair question, so I really don't get the downvotes.
