Welcome to Thai cuisine.  In Thailand, the art of cooking is practiced in a way that combines the influences of neighboring countries with national dishes, to which the varying and contrasting tastes are witness.  

Throughout the centuries, Thai cuisine has developed a unique style that excels in creativity.  Try out all recipes but only take small bites.  The Thais think it is bad-mannered to eat large portions, they consider it may indicate that they have not been generous enough in serving you.  In Thailand, people love to snack.  The Thais believe you should eat whenever you are hungry.  So dig in!
