If you’ve been to Khao San Road, you’ve seen them: hapless tourists eating Thai rice dishes with chopsticks. Like grasping at straws, they attempt to maneuver food into their mouth with incorrect utensils in a Sisyphean charade.

Sometimes you might see them in desperation scooping curry into their mouth with their hands. It’s embarrassing for everyone really.
Fortunately, Coconuts TV has released this handy public service announcement on how to eat Thai food correctly with a spoon and fork.

Filmed at Bangkok’s legendary Krua Apsorn restaurant near Democracy Monument – famous for their crab curries and omelettes – this video will teach you and your loved ones how to eat Thai food properly and live a happier and more fulfilling life.

Enjoy!
