On my first visit to Thailand, to restaurant with Thai friends there, we each ordered what we wanted from the menu and we were served our orders...but I was surprised when my friends started "raiding" my plate..each of them taking piece from my plate...and in turn giving me piece of foods from their plates,...so I ended up eating more of what I did not order then of what I did order....Later my Noochie explained to me that that is the custom in Thailand when dining out with friends...i.e. to share your food with others, and eat some of their food....Well maybe it is custom,...but I `m not sure if it is such good custom.....I mean if we each order what we like, then that`s what we should each eat, or we may end up eat food we really don`t like...but I guess on few more trips I`ll get used more to this "All for one & one for all" dining custom
