In Thailand, there are different styles in eating and drinking establishments as well.
There is nothing particularly difficult, but there are some points to watch out for, so I will introduce it.
Let's enjoy the smart way with the trends in Thai food and beverage in mind.

Let's book a high-end store
It is more safe to book a luxury shop or a popular shop.
Especially when you taste court cuisine at the course, reservation is necessary in many cases.
You can make a reservation simply by telling the time and number of people you desire, but let people in the hotel act on behalf of the person who is uneasy about words.
Dress code
For high-end shops, smart casual is the basic and there is no need to worry about other stores in particular.
Luxury shops have a lot of skin exposure, shorts, tank tops, beach sandals etc. are not good.
Although it is not refused to enter the store, it is better for clothes that match the atmosphere of the shop as a manner of manners.
When entering store
If you make a reservation, tell the store clerk the name, in a shop that does not make reservations, tell the number of people and have them take you to the seats.
Especially in high-end shops, do not sit on your own seat without permission, let the clerk guide me.
Let's request if there is hope, such as the window, the seat of weak effect of the air conditioner.
Order drinks
First, when you order a drink, I will bring it ahead of you, so choose a dish you want to eat slowly while drinking it.
We will order coconut juice unique to tropical land, watermelon and lime frozen, beer and so on.
In the case of beer, order with brands such as "Singha" "Churn" "Heineken".
In Japan, "○ beer" is said, but in Thailand, beer puts "beer" first.
"Via Shin" "Beer Churn" "Via Heineken" will be.
| Singh | Ayutthaya | Beer scene |
|---|---|---|
| Churn | Ayutthaya | Bia Chaan |
| Heineken | Ayutthaya | Via Hainekane |
In Thailand there is regulation on the sale of alcohol, usually between 11 ~ 14 hour and 17 time ~ 24 time is considered as selling time, restaurant can not provide alcohol except this time.
Also, as Buddhist holidays and the day before the election and on the same day, alcohol sales are prohibited by law, so drinkers need attention.
Order dishes
There are many menus with photos with English notation, you can order by finger pointing.
Let's order recommended menus, listen to recommended menus, spicy them sparingly, etc. without refraining from fine orders.
Unlike in Europe and the United States, Thai cuisine has no fixed order or combination of dishes, so please ask as you like what you want to eat.
Because Thai food is very rich, there are fun to find a delicious combination of your choice.
Eat
In Thailand, it is basically to eat dishes using spoons and forks, with a spoon on the right hand and a fork on the right, and use it like a knife and fork.
Eating dishes with a spoon, fork using a spoon, such as cooking, supplementarily use.
Also, in Thailand, unlike in Japan, lifting a plate and a bowl is a violation of manners, so be careful.
Accounting
In Thai food and beverage stores, many stores are in the table treasurer.
If you say "check prescreen" to a clerk, we will bring the slip, so we will pay for the seat while sitting in the seat.
10% will be added to the usage fee as a service charge in most shops.
In some luxury shops and hotels restaurants, 10% VAT will be added to the charge after the service fee 7% is added, so a charge of 17% or more will be charged in addition to the usage fee.
About chips
If the service fee is included in the payment, the chip is unnecessary, but if it is not included, Let's place 20 ~ 100B degree as a tip in the slip holder.
To the clerk who was good feeling, it is good to give a tip directly and express gratitude.
About smoking
Eating and drinking establishments in Thailand are completely smoke - free except for some open - air shops, and they are fined if they violate.
If you want to smoke cigarette, let's check with a store clerk and suck in a smoking place outside the store.
It is safe in this! Have a nice meal
How was it?
People in Thailand do not like to be so stiff, so table manners and others are also tolerant.
However, there are some parts that differ from the feeling of Japan, so in order to enjoy meals in a Thai restaurant, it is safe to know a series of flow and manners.
