So I just tried to educate you a little bit by pointing out a simple fact. It is okay you are allowed to be wrong once in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its just the poor people who pay 50 Baht for rice dishes that use chopsticks, the 90 Baht places that you frequent and non poor people frequent, are more sophisticated and thus use forks and spoons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so. But this forum is about Thailand. Surely even the least observant amongst us will have noticed that Thai people don't use chopsticks to eat rice?

You are wrong again....You really must keep up with Thai stuff....Mrs.Trans eats with chop sticks with certain food....Restaurants we frequent give chop sticks, I ask for my tools......Perhaps you spend your time in BK or McD's, but there is a Thai eating culture out there perhaps beyond your boundaries...

When I go out to eat, I dont look whether other people are either using a knife and fork or chopsticks or what nationality they are . Theres a whole world out there that Im oblivious too . In future when I go out to eat, I will observe which utensils people are using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't use them to eat rice, though - and neither does yours. The difference, I guess, is that I pay enough attention to her to notice what she does.
