why farang/foreigners use chopsticks with Thai food

Like the preprepared pad thai stalls

Chinese" Thai or Thais eating "Chinese" food will use chop-sticks.

wow, 51 replies and not one of you comes to the conclusion that these disposable chopsticks are made of non-regenerative rain-forest-trees in malaysia / borneo. What a waste!

I use plastic chopsticks at home to stir paint.

Wouldn't a chop stick be a very inefficient way of stirring paint. An old knife would be much better, you see metal utensils again come out top again.

It's Chinese paint.

Why do Thais pick their nose with finger and not use chopstick?

"I use plastic chopsticks at home to stir paint."

I prefer to use a fork and spoon to stir paint :)

“Why would I travel all that way just to eat the same food I normally eat?”

I agree, when it comes to McDonalds, KFC, etc., but I’ve always found it fun, and a bit adventurous to order “Western” food in restaurants in Thailand. It usually represents what the Thai cook thinks the dish is supposed to be, and only vaguely resembles what one would be served in the west. You never really know what you’re going to get!

Hahaha, every once in a while I order sausages with my breakfast that turn out to be hot dogs.
Then I remember why I don't have sausages with my breakfast in Thailand.
And I don't eat my breakfast hot dogs, not even with chop sticks.
