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...
