BANGKOK, Jan 19 (TNA) – The National Legislative
Assembly (NLA) has cooperated with several public and private agencies,
including Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), in organising the event to make
the world’s largest sticky rice with mango.
Some 10,000 Chinese tourists will be invited and
join in eating the Thai dessert. The event will be held near the Muang Thong
Thani lake, starting from 2 pm. It will be broadcast live by MCOT HD 30, at
6.30 p.m.
Police General Pichit Kuandachakupt, chairman of
NLA’s Committee on Religion, Art, Culture and Tourism said the
Sunday’s programme is called ‘We Care
About You’ and is designed to
further boost warm relations
between Thai and Chinese poeple and to also persuade
more Chinese tourists to visit
the kingdom.
The world’s largest sticky rice with mango is expected
to be recorded in the Guinness World Records because it will use about 1,500 kilogrammes
of sticky rice and 6,000 mangoes. It would weight approximately 5 tonnes. (TNA)
