Eating habits (привычки) are very informal. You sit at a table or in a circle (круг) on the floor around the food. All the food is put out on different plates at the start of the meal. You take what you want. Most people eat with a spoon and a fork. You can use your fingers to make rice balls which you dip (макать) in various sauces. Chopsticks (палочки) are only common with the Chinese population in Thailand. There isn’t usually any salt because they use fish sauce.

Thais can eat and drink anything. There are no social taboos. Drinking alcohol is a normal social activity for men. Smoking is common (распространено) among men and women.

Thais eat early in the evening. They usually have their evening meal at about six o’clock. Most traditional Thai restaurants close at about eight o’clock. So if you go early, it is crowded, noisy and hot and if you go late there is no food left! These restaurants are very relaxed. You can even take your own drink into a Thai restaurant!
