Plus, although China introduced chopsticks to Thailand, the locals actually prefer to eat with cutlery. It’s much better to slow down and be present at the table.
I think all meals should be a social occasion instead of everyone rushing through dinner to sit on their phones not talking to one another. This was actually one of my favorite things about eating in Thailand because it left plenty of room for socializing. Unlike many other cultures where eating fast is the norm, it’s also polite in Bangkok to slow down and savor the meal. Bonding between different families and friends is also commonly done through food. Usually, the older women at the table would get together and choose the dishes that best suit the group. Nobody would even think about ordering just for themselves. Families get together and split a variety of dishes among one another. Food is key to many social occasions, and due to the friendly nature of the Thai people, food often becomes the center of an event.
Food in Bangkok is a major aspect of everyday life, and many of the restaurants and street food stalls that you’ll find are family-owned.
