In a restaurant supervised by "Nid of Thailand," food is not served in separate courses.  It comes all at once - at least eight main dishes with each meal - and the diner proceeds at his own pace.  The setting and the splendid arrangement of both food and of flowers - all contrive to establish a glittering Thai scene.*
