Popular Post lordblackader Posted November 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 3, 2019 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. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterwhisper Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tominbkk Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those undertaking surveys must have to graduate from the TAT school of economics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orton Rd Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 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 ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baansgr Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 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.
