The “Rao Mai Thing Gun” (“We Do Not Leave Anyone Behind”) campaign gives eligible citizens whose livelihoods have been impacted by the Covid-19 crisis Bt5,000 a month for three months. To be eligible, candidates must be Thai nationals aged over 18 and self-employed, freelance or non-permanent employees who are not insured under social security.
“The original booths were located at the entrance to the Finance Ministry, which has limited space and risks becoming overcrowded,” Thanakorn pointed out. “The new venue is spacious and only 200 metres away. Officials have finished setting up booths there and will start accepting petitions from Tuesday (May 5).”
Thanakorn added that the Public Relations Department will also provide 500 chairs spaced at least one metre apart, as well as other facilities such as free drinking water and mobile toilets.
