Just read that this only applies to 16 beneficiary provinces around Bangkok. All the others go away empty-handed, although their bars and entertainments have also been closed since months.

Some work day shifts, some night shifts, and the professionals double shifts.

A number of Thai family members have received the Bt5,000 today. Others yet to receive but timing seems dependent on ID number so likely to be in the coming days. Most based in Chonburi but also other areas adjacent to Bangkok.

They'll need more than a bit to get by
