As a guest in our Thai gourmet restaurant in Augsburg, you can experience the traditional atmosphere of the wonderfully sensual Thai cuisine in an authentic way. Much is already generally known about fine Thai cuisine. But as a gourmet, do you also know the social component of Thai food culture? Sociability is very important in Thailand. And especially when eating, whether in a restaurant or at home, the motto in Thailand is: Enjoy the time at a slower pace and really relax! But do they actually eat quietly or vigorously and loudly in Thailand? Here in this Thailand guide, part 3 for gourmets, you will learn everything about the cultural background of Thai food. Then you can start the journey from Augsburg in the middle of the Thai world… and be amazed!

Eat quietly:

Meals are very happy and stimulating events for Thai people. But as gourmets of seasonal and wonderfully sensual cuisine, they observe the following rule: talk a lot, eat quietly:
Accordingly, Thais talk a lot while eating and tell each other all sorts of things, but they never speak with their mouths full. When it comes to the noise level when eating, there is a basic rule: chew as inconspicuously and quietly as possible. It is not common in Thailand to make loud noises like smacking or slurping. The soup is also eaten as quietly as possible. With food that is very crunchy, try to avoid cracking noises and chew very carefully.
