Food lovers in Thailand will soon be able to feast on their favourite flavours from around the country at their local post office when Thailand Post launches a new "yummy" service, an official said Monday.
Woodtipong Moleechad, vice president of Thailand Post, said the state agency was discussing the idea of a nationwide food delivery service with famous restaurants across the kingdom.
He said that "Aroi Tour Thai Sang Dai Tee Praisanee" -- roughly translated as Yummy Nationwide From Your Post Office -- would launch in the next few months.
"The plan is part of creating new revenue for the post office," he said. "Meanwhile, people will have the chance to taste original foods."
Woodtipong said the plan was for customers to place an order online or at a call centre, and budget airlines would fly the meals around the country.
Dishes would include northern Chiang Mai's famous spicy herb sausages and northeastern Khon Kaen's grilled chicken, Woodtipong said.
