How to Follow Thailand Table Manners
1. Thai food is usually served family style. Dishes are placed in the middle of the table and are shared by everyone dining.
2. Don't lift any of the serving dishes off the table. Pass your plate to someone closer to the dish and have them serve you.
3. Don't ask for chopsticks if they are not provided. Chopsticks are not used in Thailand unless the dish is based in Chinese tradition.
4. Thai food is usually eaten with a fork and spoon. Meat will be cut into bite sized pieces during the preparation process, so there is no need for a knife. The fork is only used to push food onto the spoon. You should eat only from the spoon .
5. It is polite to leave a small amount of food on your plate. This indicates that you have been satisfied and that your host has provided you with enough food.
6. Be friendly and respectful and you will never go wrong.
