泰國：足不出戶也可嘗遍各地美食

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.

泰國的美食愛好者們有口福了，他們不久就能通過當地的郵局品嘗到全國各地的美食。泰國郵政的一名官員于本周一稱，泰國郵政將推出一項全新的“美味”服務。

國有機構泰國郵政的副局長吳迪彭•莫理查德說，目前他們正與全國各地的知名飯店商討這項“美味全國送”服務計劃。

據他介紹，這項名為“各地美味郵局送”的服務將于幾個月后正式推出。

他說：“該計劃一方面可為郵局創收，同時，人們也將有機會品嘗到原汁原味的各地美食?！?/P>

吳迪彭說，這項服務推出后，顧客可在網上或打電話訂餐，廉價航空負責將訂購的美食送往全國各地。

吳迪彭透露，泰國北部城市清邁的名菜香辣草藥腸和東北部城市孔敬的烤雞也在可送美食之列。
