Whoopi, they aint gonna be rich and can not buy much.  What kind of handout is this when folks need more to survive. That will give them 40 baht a day for food and misc....guess 1 meal a day works.

Pensioners don't qualify.

Their monthly default riches: 600thb.

 

Does that ever put 1200 thb in context?

You sure about that?  My woman who is a pensioner has received the 50/50 co-payment every time it has been offered. I know a second person who is a pensioner who also received it.  Paid through a government wallet app.

1,200baht total over 90 days co pay 50/50. Would work out to about 26 baht a day. However one has to have money in their bank account first, before the co-pay is applied.

You could add to it with your own handout.

Not limited to Thailand. The West is doing a good job of treading on the necks of the poor too.

One meal a day is just about enough to stay alive and feel grateful to our generous government and continue voting for them and propping up the economy.
