How to Eat Thai Food Like a Thai

Thais use lots of different utensil combinations. So the way you eat Thai Food totally depends on the type of dish you are having.

Most Dishes: Spoon & Fork

Spoon in the Dominant Hand & Fork in the Other Hand. The spoon is the utensil that goes into the mouth!

Why?

  • Spoon is easier to scoop up rice
  • You always get more sauce/curry with a spoon.

Small Soups: Chinese Soup Spoon

Thai soup can often be filled with lots of goodies like protein and veggies and noodles! This deep spoon makes scooping up all of that much easier.

Noodles: Chopsticks

Lots of Thai noodle dishes originated in China, and Chinese culture plays a large role in modern Thai culture. So here the custom is to eat like you're Chinese and use chopsticks.

Sticky Rice: Hands!

Som Tum (Papaya Salad) and Sticky Rice is one of the most classic Thai lunches. You can find food stalls serving this all over the country. So this is made for grab and go - and that's why it's easiest to use your hands for some sticky rice.
