Chiang Mai might be listed as world heritage site next year

Chiang Mai World Heritage Listing Project’s working group disclosed that it is revising the complete document after receiving suggestions from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s (UNESCO) working group.

Asst. Prof. Dr. Channarong Srisuwan, the Dean of the Faculty of Architecture at Chiang Mai University, a member of the working, said the working group is expediting revision of the document so that the complete proposal for listing Chiang Mai as a world heritage site can be submitted to the World Heritage Center in Paris in February 2019.

The working group has also organized Chiang Mai Heritage Walk, which offers people a tour to observe the proposed World Heritage Site.

The UNESCO will convene a meeting to consider whether or not to list Chiang Mai as a world heritage site in June 2019.
