During the past two decades of the Unesco Heritage Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation, 14 places in Thailand have received recognition.

They can be categorised into groups of old palaces, temples, houses/commercial buildings and communities..

At present, the award programme is open for submission. Categories include awards for Excellence, Distinction, Merit, New Design in Heritage Contexts, and the new Special Recognition for Sustainable Development.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) encourages individuals and organisations to participate in the programme. The deadline for submission (bangkok.unesco.org/content/apply-awards) is July 31. Winners will be announced in December.

Meanwhile, let's revisit six places that received the awards and honourable mentions in the capital.
