Hahaha......
Chop sticks in Thailand...? Whoever wrote that has never lived there. As a Canadian expat, I have lived in Thailand for the past 15 years. I have very rarely ever seen Thai people use chop sticks. Maybe Chinese tourists.....but never Thai's. They/we use a fork and spoon.

I lived in Thailand for 3 years and while they do typically eat with a fork and a spoon, they eat Pad Thai with chopsticks.

Says who? I'd like to see someone eat Pad Thai with a spoon.

Thai people don't eat with chopsticks, unless they are eating Chinese food. Thai eat with a spoon and fork. The fork is used to push food onto the spoon.
