Do Thais really use chopsticks? Or adapt to China people?
Thais eat with their hands.

If you eat with one hand like Americans, they may ask you if you know how to use some tableware.

Generally speaking, Thai people hold chopsticks in their right hand and spoons in their left hand when using chopsticks.

When eating noodle soup, Thai people usually pick up noodles with chopsticks and put them in a spoon. However, if you are in a casual company, they may just eat noodle soup directly from chopsticks with their faces close to the bowl.

Thai hemp strips are eaten with chopsticks and spoons.

Dishes like Thai fried noodles or pad kee mao are also eaten with chopsticks. Noodles are usually eaten like this: picked up with chopsticks and put on a spoon. Eating like this is cleaner than putting noodles directly into your mouth with chopsticks.

However, most dishes with rice are eaten with forks and spoons. When frying rice, push the rice onto the spoon with a fork and eat it like this.

The same is true of mashed potatoes.

I'm a general. I have a spoon and a fork. Noodles should have chopsticks and spoons. Knives are only used when eating American food, such as steak, which is necessary. Otherwise the meat will be cut in advance.

Unlike Europeans and Americans who eat steak with knives and forks, other dishes use soup spoons, and it is also different from China, Japan and South Korea who eat with chopsticks and drink soup with spoons. Thai people like to eat rice with forks and spoons. Then eat Asian spoons and noodles with chopsticks. Don't be surprised if you clumsily use a fork and spoon when eating spaghetti, or eat KFC pizza or fried chicken with a knife and fork. Sometimes we think that using a knife and fork at the same time is the right way to eat every western food. Is it cool to use dazzling Thai tableware?

Thais have a very peculiar habit of eating western food. First of all, Thai people like to eat steak, pizza, pasta and other western food very much. But an interesting habit is to add as much ketchup as possible to any western food. If you have a chance to pay attention when eating at KFC, you will find that they like to put a lot of ketchup and sweet Chili sauce (some even mixed together) on separate plates as dipping sauce. It's a strange way to eat, isn't it, but it's because Thai people are just used to the spicy and sour taste of Thai food, so it's delicious, hahaha! Because western food looks bland and monotonous, I really want to ask the waiter for ketchup. Add a little seasoning to decorate it, but for some of us, the more the better!
