Large crowds flocked to Krung Thai Bank branches nationwide, struggling to register for the 4,000-baht "Thai Chuay Thai Plus" financial aid scheme.
The scheme offers eligible citizens 1,000 baht monthly for four months, totaling 4,000 baht, with spending commencing June 1 and capped at 200 baht per day.
While the registration system didn't collapse, slow performance and user confusion prompted many to visit bank branches for assistance, fearing they might miss out on benefits.
The government will subsidize 60% of recipients' spending on goods and services from participating outlets under this co-payment program.
