It is always good manners to offer food to others before adding it to your own plate.
As far as wiping the utensils goes, there is usually someone in the "gang" who seems to be the designated wiper.

The wiper will usually be the youngest or the 'lowest' in the hierarchy. The same thing happens when we are having some drinks. That same person will pour the drinks and add the ice. Everyone knows his/her role according to his/her status in daily interactions. That is the way Thai society operates.
