At 6:00 PM, on December 7th, 2023, Mr. Srettha Thavisin, the Thai Prime Minister, presided over the Songkran celebration of being officially recognised as UNESCO’s intangible humanity’s cultural heritage at the city square, Bangkok City Hall.

 

The Thai Prime Minister was welcomed with a long drum parade and crowds taking photos with him. The Songkran parade had Ms. Anntonia Porsild, Miss Songkran of the Year, and other celebrities to represent Songkran as the UNESCO intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

 

Ms. Anntonia Porsild is a Danish-Thai model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Supranational 2019 and Miss Universe Thailand 2023.
Srettha opened the celebration with a speech regarding the Songkran traditions from generation to generation with promotional measures to raise awareness and value of Thai traditions as humanity’s intangible cultural heritage.

A tangible response to an intangible accolade.
