Local Food Project as a Soft Power Tool
Culture Minister Sermsak Pongpanich defends the “One Province, One Dish 2023” list initiated by the Cultural Promotion Department, emphasizing the importance of promoting local food as a soft power item. The project aims to raise awareness about traditional dishes from each of Thailand’s 77 provinces, especially those that are rare, unique, or almost forgotten.
