Thai food is eaten with a fork and spoon. the spoon is used to convey food to the mouth. Ideally, Thai food is a communal affair involving two or more people, principally because the greater the number of diners the greater the number of dishes ordered. Generally speaking, two diners order three dishes in addition to their own individual plates of steamed rice, three diners order four dishes and so on.

Diners choose whatever they require from shared dishes and generally add it to their own rice. Soups are enjoyed concurrently with rice and other dishes, not independently.
