• The Cabinet has approved an Upskill–Reskill programme for merchants under the Let’s Go Halves Plus scheme. Merchants who complete the training will receive an additional 20% of sales, capped at 2,000 baht.
• Participating merchants can choose from three training pathways: joining a food delivery platform, completing online training via GSB, or taking online courses by the Department of Business Development.
• The scheme targets up to 400,000 merchants, with training running from November 19 to December 19, 2025.

On November 18, 2025, at Government House, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas announced that the Cabinet had endorsed the Upskill–Reskill initiative for merchants participating in the Let’s Go Halves Plus.

He said the programme builds on the existing consumer-focused scheme, expanding support to the merchant side to encourage small businesses to improve essential financial and digital skills — including bookkeeping, digital marketing, sales promotion and the use of AI tools for business.

“Previously the government supported buyers under the Let’s Go Halves Plus. Today we extend support to sellers. After completing the training, merchants will receive an additional 20% of their sales value, up to 2,000 baht per shop,” Ekniti said.

In addition to training, merchants will also be eligible to apply for GSB microloans of up to 50,000 baht each.

The Upskill–Reskill programme is scheduled to run from November 19 to December 19, 2025, with a participation cap of 400,000 merchants.
