Thailand's cabinet approved the "Thai Help Thai Plus (Additional)" subsidy program launching October 1–November 30, 2026. Two schemes: expanded state welfare card funds for eligible cardholders (increasing October allocation from 300 to 1,000 baht/month); and a 60/40 co-payment mechanism where government covers 60% of food, beverages, goods, and services purchases (capped at 200 baht/day or 1,000 baht total per participant). Registration via 'Pao Tang' app runs October 1–15. Eligibility: Thai nationals 18+, valid ID card, not previously suspended from similar programs. SMEs selling eligible goods through registered merchants and food delivery platforms gain direct consumer access.
