DPM inspects Yaowarat street food ahead of Michelin Guide publication

 

 

BANGKOK, 16 August 2017 (NNT) – A Deputy Prime Minister has inspected progress in the government’s street food development project on Yaowarat Road ahead of the publication of a new Michelin Guide for Bangkok. 

Deputy Prime Minister Gen Tanasak Patimaprakorn and Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Yuthasak Supasorn have visited Yaowarat road to meet with tourists and popular vendors to check on the readiness of the area’s street food to serve as a cultural and culinary tourism attraction. The check up is in preparation for the publication of a new Michelin Guide for Bangkok with 10,000 guides to be distributed worldwide alongside online promotion starting December 6. 

Gen Tanasak said he found most street food vendors complying with regulations set out by the government to improve their operation, including the maintaining of walkway orderliness and the area’s cultural identity. The vendors are also practicing good hygiene and adhering to a schedule that allows them to sell from 6PM to midnight each day. 

The Deputy Prime Minister indicated confidence that once the Michelin Guide is published, Yaowarat will grow in global renown.
