No budget diverted for ‘Thai Chuay Thai Plus’ Phase 2

Today 15:12Key points summarised by AI

The government will disburse 1,000 baht to Thai recipients and an additional 700 baht to state welfare card holders for the 'Thai Chuay Thai Plus' Phase 2 scheme.
This co-payment scheme will run in October and November, with the government insisting no new funding or budget diversion is needed for its implementation.

Farmers in Chiang Rai's Kok river basin face severe economic hardship as heavy metal contamination from unregulated Myanmar mines renders their produce unsellable due to health concerns.
Companies have stopped purchasing crops like sweet corn, forcing farmers to sell for significantly lower animal feed prices, threatening their future market access.
Widespread contamination affects up to 20,800 hectares of farmland across nine districts, with farmers fearing their crops will become inedible and unsellable due to a lack of alternative water sources.
Agricultural councils and farmers urgently call for government intervention, demanding officials check water and soil quality, as the Ministry of Agriculture currently lacks regulations, compensation funds, or a clear plan to address the contamination.
