Haveasay Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi hope you can help or put me in right direction. Currently the govt is handing 7000 baht to low or non income individuals. I've been informed though have my doubts, to get 7000 baht it costs 3500 to register seems weird at best. Can you help or direct me in english as much coverage in thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4MyEgo Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Registering is free, and the 7,000 baht from my understanding is deposited by two 3,500 baht payments per month over two months, and it is only if the applicant is successful, apparently you only get one crack at it, my wife was rejected and they don't give you a reason, her sisters and family all got theirs, can't tell you more than that, maybe someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife tried to register and was rejected and told because she had a foreigner last name. She called her sister down south, married to a Norwegian, got the same answer.

I think it is 2,000 baht initially and then 1,000 baht every Friday for 5 weeks. My gf qualified. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleMhee Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) The conversation seems rather moot if registration ended 12 February..... My missus would've been all over that like stink on a monkey. Edited March 3, 2021 by UncleMhee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to ease congestion at KTB bank branches, he said the Finance Ministry has decided to extend the deadline for registration until March 25th and add two more state-owned banks to help in the registration process. https://www.thaipbsworld.com/two-more-banks-to-provide-registration-for-rao-chana-scheme/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the younger ones are using it constantly and the older people only use it for calling friends/family. When taking a cheap data-subscription and using LINE for calling (with the bonus of seeing the respondent), it will often turn out cheaper than using a regular phone when making lengthy phone-calls.

I’ve actually had some colleagues at my school ask me how they can get it. “It’s only for Thai people?” they said. I said you’re kidding right? Yeah, it’s for those old folks sitting on the ground around the BTS stations, happy to get 5 baht in their cups. I know our pay isn’t great, but geez, it’s a bit more than that.

Send a few unemployed Pattay girls though all Isaan villages to download the app on elderly peoples phones for a "250Baht" fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
