The cabinet decided today (Tuesday) to roll out the 5th phase of the popular 50:50 co-payment scheme by providing 800 baht to each of the 26.5 million Thais who have subscribed to the program, to be spent in September and October, said Director-General of the Fiscal Policy Office Pornchai Thiraveja.

 

Maximum daily spending in the co-payment scheme is capped at 150 baht.

 

The cabinet also approved a 200-baht monthly welfare payment, for September through October, to about 13.34 million Thais who hold state welfare cards, in order to boost their purchasing power, he added.

If anyone can tell me what benefit you can make to your life with 6 baht a day I will be most appreciative

Without being an expert on this topic, I understand that poor people in small villages (if they can somehow qualify), can buy a lot of 2nd hand clothes with this money.

The key is to somehow qualify before a city dweller with a new pick-up, who gladly tells their friends that they have free money.
