- For eating Thais use fork and spoon, however the main cutlery is spoon. In Thailand, a fork is like a knife in Europe, it is not polite to eat with a fork, same as putting a knife into the mouth in Europe. Chop sticks are used for eating noodles. Chop sticks came from China hundreds of years ago;
