The government is preparing tax benefits for members of the private sector who donate money for the repair of flooded historical sites.
“After the tax measures are finalised, we will request help from the private sector,” Culture Minister Sukumol Kunplome said Tuesday.
The worst floods in decades have hit the country during the past few months, submerging houses as well as ancient structures.
Among them are historical sites in the world-heritage zone in Ayutthaya.
After floodwater in the former capital of Thailand subsided, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco) last week dispatched a team of experts to inspect the scope of damages.
