In most Asian countries, people often tend to think that they all use chopsticks for their utensils while eating, but in Thailand this isnt the case. Here, spoons and forks are used to eat and a knife is almost never present. The spoon is the main utensil used, the fork is used merely to push food onto the spoon.
At meal times, families will sit down together and eat, but not everyone gets their own dish. A food dish is served in comparison to the number of people, if there are 5 people, then there are 5 dishes. They are placed in the middle of the table and everyone spoons what they want onto their plate, everything is always shared.
At each meal you will find a bowl of soup, at least one spicy dish, a plate of fresh vegetables, and various sauces for each person to add flavor depending on what they like.
