The government spokesman, Ekkaphop Phiansiri, says the 4,000 million baht a year that the Thai Health Promotion Foundation (สสส.) receives from sin taxes should be spent on direct health assets rather than training, meetings, events and advertising, and that the budget must be brought into the national budget system. For a Thai SME this is background: sin-tax funding for health campaigns and sponsorships may tighten, and any SME that has bid for or relies on SSF-funded campaigns or events should watch for changes in how that money is allocated.
