BANGKOK (NNT) - Thailand’s Finance Ministry will link delivery service platforms to the government’s two stimulus programs in October, to enable payment for the delivery of food or products via the schemes.

 

Fiscal Policy Office (FPO) Director-General Kulaya Tantitemit said the platforms will be linked to the "Ying Chai Ying Dai" (the more you spend, the more you get) scheme and the "Khon La Khrueng" (Let’s Go Halves) co-payment program. The links respond to the current situation, during which it is more difficult for people to go shopping offline during the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak.

 

She said the ministry expects that 6 major delivery platform operators will participate in the two schemes. Since its launch in July this year, the latest phase of “Khon La Khrueng” has generated spending of 57 billion baht, of which 29.2 billion baht was by customers with the remainder made via the subsidy.

 

According to the FPO, there are 26.7 million participants in the “Khon La Khrueng” scheme and 467,000 in the “Ying Chai Ying Dai” scheme. Both are funded by the state’s 1 trillion baht emergency loan. They are part of the stimulus packages, aimed at boosting economic growth in the second half of this year.

I assume Anutin will be starting his own delivery platform.

 

He's always benefitting from some new agenda or law.

In most places around Thailand no food delivery service operate outside city centers, or barely outside ring roads, and people who live in city centers tend to have far more money and options to begin with. How about expanding the food delivery coverage, say by 20km, as well as adding a few delivery bikes in each of those hundreds of small in-between mini cities and towns around Thailand, so that the people who these payout schemes actually are meant for can benefit from it? Street food vendors in these places would also benefit greatly, and so would probably eventually the food delivery companies too.

 

Just a thought...
