The cabinet extended the Thai Chuay Thai Plus (60/40) scheme for two months, 1 Oct to 30 Nov 2026. Eligible people confirm via Paotang 1-15 Oct; eligible businesses confirm via Tung Ngern from 1 Oct to 30 Nov. The state co-pays 60% of spending on food, drinks, goods and services, capped at 200 baht per person per day and 1,000 baht overall. Shops can use the Paotang app and food delivery partners (06.00-21.00). Welfare card holders also get an extra 700 baht for October, bringing grocery-type spending on the blue-flag shops to 1,000 baht per month. Funding comes from the remaining roughly 44 billion baht of the first 200 billion baht loan. Bank economists expect private consumption to slow in Q4, so plan cash flow for a softer last quarter.
