People jump on chance to register for Let’s Go Halves shopping subsidy scheme
As many as 730,000 Thais joined the third round of privileges offered under the “Khon La Khrueng” (Let's Go Halves) subsidised shopping scheme in just over an hour after it was launched at 6am on Thursday.
The scheme, which started on October 23 and runs until December 31, offers some 10 million citizens discounts of up to Bt150 a day on purchases at participating stores. The discount is capped at Bt3,000 throughout the period.
“We will publicise soon if another round is being held because some people may be disqualified if they don’t use their privileges within 14 days,” deputy government spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said, adding that the second phase of the scheme will kick off in January once this one is completed.
