The Thai cabinet today (Tuesday) rolled out a number of measures to help the public cope with the rising prices of goods, services and energy prices, some resulting from the war in Ukraine.

 

The measures are as follows:

• Increase in monthly subsidy from 45 to 100 baht for the purchase of cooking gas for household use by 3.6 million state welfare card holders.
• 100 baht discount per month for the purchase of cooking gas for about 5,500 vendors with state welfare cards.
• 250 baht/month subsidy for 157,000 motorcycle taxi drivers for the purchase of gasohol and the Land Transport Department must ensure that there are no hikes in service charges.
