A committee on local wisdom and cultural heritage under the Ministry of Culture may propose khao nieo mamuang, or mango sticky rice, as a Thai cultural heritage item with Unesco, says Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.
He announced the move in response to questions about the possibility of listing mango sticky rice as a cultural heritage item, after Thai rap sensation Danupha "Milli" Khanatheerakul, 19, on Sunday grabbed the world's attention after she ended her show at the Coachella music festival by eating the popular dessert on stage.
