Finance Minister Ekniti says the Thais Help Thais Plus co-payment scheme is being extended because of the Middle East energy crisis. Priority goes to small shops and street vendors, with a 200-baht daily spending limit per person. About 26 million citizens and 1.2 million small shops have taken part over three months, generating about 160 billion baht in circulation. The government says it has only used part of the 200-billion-baht emergency loan, and the scheme may end once energy transition goals are met. If you run a small shop, check whether you are registered and plan for the scheme's uncertain end date.
