Why do Thai people not use knives?

Chef's answer
The fork is for pushing food to the spoon, that's it. Unlike the West, no knives are allowed near the table as they are considered weapons. But a sensible explanation is that knives are not necessary since Thai recipe foods are often cut into little pieces. In the past, Thais used to eat with their bare hands.
