Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan in Nakhon Si Thammarat has moved a step closer to becoming Thailand's ninth World Heritage Site after Unesco's advisory body recommended its inscription.
Natural Resources and Environment Minister Suchart Chomklin said the nomination will be considered at the 48th session of the World Heritage Committee in Busan, South Korea, from July 19–29, with deliberations on the site scheduled for July 24–26.
