In Thailand, people do not eat with chopsticks, like in China, Japan and Korea. They use spoons and forks. Because most food is already cut. If you need to cut things, use the side of your spoon. If you are right-handed, keep the spoon in your right hand and the fork in your left hand.
The rice is not on the same plate with the other food. It is not necessary to finish all your rice or all your food. It is good to leave a little on your plate. If you eat everything, it means you want more.
The host will ask you two or three times if you want more food. It is the same with whatever you are drinking. During the meal, never empty your cup or glass. When it is less than half full, your host or neighbor will fill it again. Always refill (再加满) your neighbor's glass. This means that you must keep an eye on your neighbor's glass all through the meal.
