The Ratchadamnoen Knowledge & Culture Avenue, expected to promote the creative economy and soft power, is scheduled for cabinet approval soon.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow, the avenue, with a budget of 900 million baht, will be handled by the Office of Knowledge Management and Development (OKMD). The avenue is located on Rattanakosin Island, the old town of Bangkok ripe in Thai culture with many historical sites.
