Thai Dining Tips
🌶️ Spice Levels
"Thai hot" is genuinely painful for most people. Start with medium and adjust. Many spots tone down heat for Americans.
🍚 Rice is Essential
Thai food is meant to be eaten with rice (jasmine or sticky). It balances flavors and tames heat.
🥄 Utensil Etiquette
Fork in left hand pushes food onto spoon in right hand. Chopsticks are for noodle soups only.
⚖️ Flavor Balance
Thai cuisine balances sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. Use the condiment tray to adjust: fish sauce, sugar, chili flakes, vinegar.
