Bangkok deserves United Nations recognition as one of the world's great food cities, says one of the key figures in the government's "creative economy" programme, the Bangkok Post reports.
The Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC) has pitched the idea of applying to the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) to declare the capital a city of gastronomy, according to Apisit Laistrooglai, the TCDC managing director.
