Can't really see foreign tourists seriously visiting numerous towns etc., just to eat their local dishes. 

 

And who will decide which dishes are delicious and should be on the 'list' for each region / town? I recall the silly promotion the BMA had some years back on food and they put up signs on individual small / local restaurants etc., saying 'clean', and 'good taste' but in reality 'good taste' is a personal decision any nothing more.  

 

By the way Mr. Minister the previous lady minister was very active and doing a fairly good job but she got dumped.

 

Haven't really seen any 'wow' initiates from you. And this ain't a 'wow' initiative.

 

Next...

Depending on the quality of the ingredients and the quantity of chilli, will decide on whether it will be quantity over quality when borrowing this trademarked item to take to the toilet.

Samui Immigration used to have a map with all the rooms, the chef had the biggest one, important people.

Great idea in a country where all food and hygiene inspectors seem to be on life long 'inactive posts'.

They're all on life-long visits to the toilet after sampling the food while on previous "active" duty.

The Minister of Tourism and Sports,must have gotten a headache

thinking this one up,maybe promoting security in tourist areas would

be a much better idea.Amazing Thailand.

If Community Chef was based on the Community "Hostess" for Sustainable Thai Tourism, it should be a success.

Borne out by just in the last few days 60+ school kids got severe diarrhea at a school camp, several had to be hospitalized.

 

Obviously the school hosting the camp is not paying much attention to hygiene.  Should be some severe punishment imposed on the host school for this. 

 

Friends of my Thai son and his wife laugh when they see son and wife taking home cooked food to their kids at school events, camps etc. Both of them got quite sick at camps when they were in high school, not taking any chances with their own kids.

Is there a connection between a food initiative and a group from a chemical manufacturer?

 

More MSG or more pesticides?
