The project is being carried out from January 1st to March 31st, 2018, to promote tourism among welfare card holders, as part of efforts to improve the quality of life and promote learning.

Reminds me of a pleasant surprise on arrival at Hong Kong airport.  As a farang pensioner, I was entitled to their 'Octupus' Card which gives a 30% cut on bus, train, tram and ferry services.

Same applied for a few other places of interest, which in Thailand would have cost me more than treble the locals' price.

We all ready have plenty of Brit dole scroungers here in Pattaya. The gather around Soi Buakao 

Nice, but from where those peoples take the money to traveling around?
