Thailand's government is considering extending the Thais Help Thais Plus co-payment scheme with an additional 1,000-baht one-off allowance to be spent over two months. State welfare cardholders would receive 700 baht on top of their regular 300-baht entitlement. The proposal aims to ease cost-of-living pressures and stimulate consumption; final conditions will be announced after cabinet approval expected Tuesday. This affects lower-income consumers directly but represents incremental welfare adjustment rather than structural policy change.
