<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 391941, member: 6974&quot;]Hi Boudicca, </p><p>It really could be used for anything given how many condiments, sauces, herbs and spices Thai people use at every meal. I have seen many of these types of cutlery services across Thailand, both in restaurants, homes and as &quot;sets&quot; available in stores.</p><p>Given the small size, my Thai partner suggested it might possibly be a souvenir wedding spoon (perhaps with a fork) given to guests. Mealtime and food are incredibly important to Thais and form a lavish and constant part of their culture. Weddings are the same with lots of symbolic actions such as holy water poured over the hands of the bride and groom, being bound by string etc. as well as feasts that can involve the whole village and last well into the night. Lots of alcohol too!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie39" alt=":dead:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The hole in the top might have been used to tie the spoon and fork together as a gift.</p><p>My main concern is that Thais place great belief and prestige in &quot;face&quot; or how they are seen by everyone, and the quality of this spoon does not seem that high.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]135977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135980[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135982[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135983[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]135984[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
