Fork and Knife

Use this forum to ask questions and let other tourists know about the essentials of travel to the Maldives. Topics appropriate here are currency, what to take, vaccinations and medicine, safety, laws of the land and anything else that crosses your mind. Can I pay with Euros on the islands? Do I need to take insect repellent, or will they sell it there? Should I take Malaria medicine?

Do you have to eat without a fork and knife in the Maldives?

Traditionally Maldivians eat with their fingers. If you wish to follow the local tradition keep in mind that it is considered unhygienic to touch food with the left hand. But that is just if you are in the presence of Maldivians; at your resort or liveaboard you may do as you please.
