I gather one would be given a choice cutlery or chopsticks but how is the best way to learn to use chopsticks?

Thai's do not generally use chopstick, they mainly use a fork and spoon.
But if you want to know how to use them. See below

I might challenge such a statement Heat. Chopsticks are widely and instinctively used here....depending on what's being eaten and regional location.

Roy,
You use a chopstick trainer yes?

Chopsticks are used in Thailand, but a fork and spoon is prefered by most Thai's.
90% of Thai restaruants will give you a fork and spoon.

I do not use chopsticks because I am a man.

Real men don't have to bring attention to the fact that they are......suspicions arise.

Just as 95% of your Western existence, which was largely influenced, introduced, and contributed from Asia.

You can't eat noodles with a fork, it just is not the same.

I always eat noodles with a fork, it is much easier and you don't drop all the noodles before it gets to your mouth.

[MrT]

I can pick up sushi ok or something big
noodles are impossible my hands are too and I cant told the sticks close enough.

[Spade]

I am not the best with chopsticks. I can pick most things up, noodles can be a challenge for me.
I can not use the metal chopsticks at all

[Tigmond]

I am also chopstick challenged, not through lack of trying though
