The Thai government’s “Chim-Shop-Chai” (Eat-Shop-Spend) domestic tourism promotion scheme has won the approval of most respondents to a Bangkok Poll, conducted by the Research Centre of Bangkok University.

 

The same opinion survey revealed Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul as the top rated cabinet minister for his outstanding performance during the first three months of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s current administration.

 

Bangkok Poll gauged the opinions of 1,199 respondents, in different occupations and from all regions of the country, about their most favoured government projects and ministers.

Free money? Not a surprise then!

 

Also not a surprise that the percentages when added together come to well over 100%!

 

Can you ever believe surveys and statistics in Thailand?

I love how they call it a "domestic tourist scheme" when you could use the money in supermarkets, the only catch being that it had to be in a neighboring province. It was nothing more than tax payer money being redistributed to major corporate interests in Thailand.

And if you'd gift every citizen their own submarine or multi-million-baht luxury wristwatch, "Chim-Shop-Chai" would be off the popularity radar overnight, I guess.

Thai percentages are different.

Any Thais I've know who have used it just drove to the nearest next province and bought something at TESCO.  It's just a handout, Thaksin style.

The Thai government treats its citizens like morons and they behave accordingly.

All those undertaking surveys must have to graduate from the TAT school of economics.

Don't go to Tesco after 5 or at weekends with your voucher, or rather the Mrs, queue at checkout can be over an hour. We were lucky went in the week mid afternoon only one in front of us. Nice bottle of wine for me, thanks PM ????

Give the guy credit for trying to stimulate a faltering economy, however, if its free money from the government, it really isnt stimulating domestic spending as its taxpayers money being used...that being said, I suppose its on a par with a tax break which many other countries use.

Anything free or reduced in price is welcomed, not only in Thailand. But this is not the economical package that's going to stop the bubble bursting!
