Joinaman Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi there Not sure what the correct term is, for elderly or poor people, who, each month get a sum of money on a card, which they can then go to a designated store and purchase goods, up to the amount on the card, which i believe is around 600 baht a month The nearest shop, which participates in this card scheme , for people in our, and adjacent villages is around 15 kilometers , so not easy for old folk to get there Anyone know how, as a shop, i could participate in this scheme, which would benefit me of course, but benefit lots of local people too ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 The first step is to go to your local province govt office and get the ball rolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
