The Thai cabinet today (Tuesday) decided to extend Phase 4 of the “Rao Tiew Duay Kan” (We Travel Together) program until the end of October, because there was a residual budget of 5.5 billion baht at its original end date at the end of May.

 

Government Spokesman Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said that the cabinet also agreed to add 1.5 million “entitlements”, on top of the current two million, in addition to the extension.

 

He said that the cabinet has instructed the Tourism Authority of Thailand, which proposed the extension of the domestic tourism promotion program, to make sure that the program is transparent and accountable and to step up publicity concerning the extension of the program.

It was meant for internal tourism but now according to TAT external tourism is on the increase so why not give the money to those who could not afford to take part in domestic tourism, i,e, the poor and not subsidise the internal domestic rich travellers and their cronies hotels etc?

Sure with looming Recession and rising inflation who would have free money to "travel together"??

Free money = rising inflation.

20 nights to 15 nights to 10 nights subsidized.  A zero sum game.  We will be taking advantage of every night offered.
