The 1,000-baht monthly cash handout under Thai Chuay Thai Plus runs until 30 September 2026. The finance minister says Q4 stimulus will use several tools and is not committing to a new phase; he is waiting for GDP data after the scheme ends and notes inflation has started to fall. Retailers in the column report sales down about 20% last year and nearly 10% this year, with Q4 expected to decline without a new phase. Plan Q4 cash flow and stock buying assuming the handout stops, and watch for the government announcement.
