The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) proudly announces that Bangkok’s iconic temple, Wat Arun, and Chiang Mai’s magical lantern festival, Yi Peng, have been recognised as “World Night View Heritage” sites.
The certificates were presented to the representatives of Wat Arun and Chiang Mai Province at the World Heritage of Night View Certification Ceremony. The event was held as part of the “Japan Night View Tourism Summit 2024”, which took place last week in Bangkok.
Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, TAT Governor, said “We would like to express our thanks to the YAKEI Convention and Visitors Bureau for these honours. Wat Arun and Yi Peng Festival are two of Thailand’s iconic historical and cultural heritages that have been welcoming thousands of visitors every year. These recognitions will surely shine a spotlight on their amazing night view charms and inspire more visits by tourists from around the world.”
