One of the joys of Thai dining is discovering the variety of dishes available. But when dining solo, your appetite can hinder the experience. Many Thai restaurants design their menus with this communal format in mind, with some offering portions meant for two or more. When you order just one entrée, however, you only experience that one dish and miss a crucial part of the Thai dining experience. To avoid this mistake, we encourage you to order a few dishes — even if it seems against normal solo dining protocol.
