The government says cumulative spending under the "Thais Help Thais Plus" co-payment scheme reached 138.38 billion baht as of 11pm on 4 September 2026, with about 1.19 million merchants verified. The scheme runs 60:40, with government paying 60% of eligible purchases and the customer 40%. The programme is now in its final month, so unused consumer balances will expire. Participating shops should check they are verified, promote to customers who still hold balances, and consider food-delivery channels, which have also brought in 5.16 billion baht in transactions. Confirm the exact end date and eligible-goods rules with the official source, as the article does not give them.
