Thailand Live Gastronomy wraps up succesfully

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has organised a "tourism food festival from the source" under the name "Thailand Live Gastronomy" at Siam Square, in collaboration with the Property Management Office of Chulalongkorn University.

This entails local community history and art and culture that can be adapted so it is relevant to today's age, as well as development of new tourist destinations to attract Thai and foreign visitors to the source, where they can taste authentic local food and learn about culture and the Thai way of life in different regions of the country", said the Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Mr. Yuthasak Supasorn.
