Bangkok, March 23 (China News Service) -- Thailand's Minister of Culture Itipong said in Bangkok on the 23rd that the Thai Cabinet meeting on the same day adopted a proposal from the Ministry of Culture to apply to UNESCO to list "Tomyum Kung" as a world intangible cultural heritage.
"Tom Yin Gong" is a Thai-style sour and spicy soup, the main ingredients of which are lemon leaves, lemongrass, shrimp, curry, etc., which is not only loved by the Thai people, but also popular in many other countries in Southeast Asia.
Itipong said that "Tom Yin Gong" is a well-known Thai national dish, which embodies the Thai food culture that relies on nature and is beneficial to human health. Applying for the "Tom Yin Gong" can not only enhance thai national pride and make the Thai people realize the value and importance of cultural heritage, but also let the world understand the diversity of Thai cuisine and establish a good international image for Thai cuisine.
In recent years, Thailand has strengthened the work of "applying for heritage", and at present, Thai Confucius opera and Thai massage have been successfully "applied for heritage" and have been included in the list of world intangible cultural heritage. (End)
