Thai Restaurant Association Appeals to PM for Immediate Economic Boost to Avoid Closures

In our village, there are at least 6 village grocery stores and a similar number of street food stalls. Also 5 mini-laundrettes. I doubt that any of these traders ever make 1,000 baht profit a day - certainly they cannot afford to employ staff. Practically every restaurant in the wider area has expired after 2-3 years. There just isn't enough money around to support all these restaurants.
