Intangible cultural heritage

 ‘Khon’, Thailand’s masked dance drama, has been inscribed on Unesco’s representative list of humanity’s “intangible” cultural heritage – a decision reached at the 13th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Mauritius on November 29. It was the first time the Kingdom made the list since its ratification in June 2016 of the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
