Registration for the 3rd phase of the Chim-Shop-Chai (Eat-Shop-Spend) stimulus package closed at 5pm today, but the number of elderly people subscribing to the program only reached 281,115, well short of the 500,000 target.

 

The overall target for the third phase of the program is two million, with 500,000 places reserved for the elderly. 

 

Mr. Pornchai Thiravet, an advisor to the Fiscal Policy Office and deputy spokesman of the Finance Ministry, disclosed today that a total of 1,448,012 people had subscribed to the program.

Either the elderly are too smart to fall for the dog and pony act, or, they cannot fill in the online form.

    I wonder though, how many of the targeted 'elderly people' have computers and how many of them are computer savvy enough to use them?...

    Must be fake news. This seemed to be arguably Thailand's greatest ever idea in recent press releases.

    So now Prayut has an excuse as to why his well thought out stimulus policy didn't work.... he can blame the elderly!

    Yes, they can not squeeze more money out of them now. When they as a result are poorer than before, they just have to squeeze the money out of another age group. No problem!

    Maybe people are still full from phase 2. You should give them some time to digest.
