The tourism minister says the Thai Thiao Thai Plus co-payment scheme should be finalised this week, targeting a September 2026 start and running four months. It uses 500,000 rights (5 per person), with the state funding 50% of each, via the Pao Tang app. The voucher value rose from 500 to 1,000 baht and now works for all tourism activity, not just restaurants: food, attractions, local products, tour services and car rental, nationwide. Details for how sectors join are still pending. Small operators offering these services should prepare to register and check eligibility once the rules are published.
