The nineteenth session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (IGC-ICH) of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, or UNESCO, in Asunción, Paraguay, on 3 December 2024 (4 December in Thailand) decided to inscribe Tom Yum Kung on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity for 2024.
Tom Yum Kung (hot-and-sour shrimp soup) is one of the most famous of all Thai dishes and a favorite around the globe. It is said to reflect the simplicity and the way of life of Thai people in farming communities, especially those along rivers and canals. The dish is also good for health, as it contains a mixture of herbs, such as lemon grass, galangal root, and kaffir lime leaves.
To date, Thailand has five elements inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity: Khon Masked Dance Drama (2018); Nuad Thai (2019); Nora, Dance Drama (2021); Songkran in Thailand, the traditional Thai New Year festival (2023); and Tomyum Kung (2024).
