Thailand chopstixs or spoon?

Question

In Thailand do people eat with chopstix or spoons

Answer 1

It's pretty much depent on what kind of food.

Usually for a Thai, they use spoon for rice & chopstick for noodle (though they use spoon for the soup) It's very that simple.

And no, Thai people (fully Thai) would not eat their food with hand (only if it was a my great grandma age's & way down there lol but since then they been using chopstick & spoon)

A Thai does not eat their food with their hand like how mostly Indian people eat their food or like other countries that does.

However there's some few meals that would allow to eat food with their hand, it is 'White Sticky Rice' or most likely Issan (Lao's) food. But still most Thai would use a fork for the Sticky Rice. Sticky Rice is a  main food for a Laotian, just like how the braed is for the west. Though the northeasterners of Thailand are Laotian (Thai people called them Issan) yes they would use their hand for their Sticky Rice, they keep their hands dry and clean for handling sticky rice. So, a Thai use a spoon, fork, & chopstick for their food. The history of Thailand & the Thai people moved from China to this now calls the land of Thailand about a 1000 years ago, so far like that. So chopstick have been one of the Thai since the started. I'm a Chinese living & raised in Thailand (myself I normally use a chopstick with any type of food)

Hope this answer your question.

Take care & have a nice day ^_^

Answer 7

Most Thai meals consist of meat, rice and vegetables. I know this is a generalization but I am talking about most of the meals. Fo! r meals like this you will only be given two utensils, a spoon and a fork. There are also fried noodle dishes that are also eaten with spoon and fork.

The spoon is used to eat with and the fork is basically a shovel used to push food on the spoon. The meat will cut in bite size pieces so there is no need for a knife. Once you get used to it, it is a very easy way of eating.

A knife is only needed if you order something like a steak or have some bread that needs buttering. But, this is not Thai food.

Chopsticks are primarily used when eating soup. One of the Thai staples is noodle soup called gwet-ee-ow (your phonetics may differ from mine). This soup can be found on almost every corner in Thailand. It comes with a variety of vegetables, different sized noodles, and different meats. There will be different condiments that can be added; hot chili peppers, crushed peanuts, sugar, vinegar and more. The best thing to do is to add a little and give it a taste! and see what else needs to be added. Of course, a spoon is al! so used to sample the broth.

You can also get back to basics and enjoy some Thai food with no utensils at all. You can call it Thai finger food. Sticky rice, fruits, and vegetables are sometimes easier to eat just by using your fingers. Your girl may peel, break, or share a bite with you and all she will use are her fingers and her teeth. It may not be the most sanitary, but it is delicious and a lot of fun.

And, if you are really brave, you can sample some of the Isaan, or northeast, snacks. You will see many bug carts in Bangkok and Pattaya displaying crickets, ants, beetles, silkworms and other delicacies. If you can down these, you will endear yourself to your Isaan friends forever.
