• Most Thai food is already cut into small pieces before serving or made soft enough to be cut with a spoon or fork; thus, a knife is unnecessary.
• Salt - shakers are rarely found on Thai dinner tables, so add a little caramel - colour fish - sauce (called nam - pla in Thai) instead, if you find your food not salty enough.
• English is spoken in large restaurants in tourist provinces; and most establishments have manus Thai and English, except street - side food stalls and some small restaurants.
• Beckon waiters with a wave of a hand. Don't clap, snap fingers of hiss.
• Normally, a tip of 10.20 baht or 5-10% of the bill should be left when dining in a middle or high - class restaurant.
