The technology – predicted to make Thai street fare even more world-famous – will be on display next month at a National Food Institute “Street Food 4.0 Fair”. He noted that Thailand’s global reputation for appealing kerbside cuisine was most recently mentioned on CNN, which declared it the world’s best street food. The fair will let the institute show off instruments bolstering the Thailand 4.0 effort to modernise the nation with the latest technology.
