Our Funding

The primary source of funding for Thai PBS, Thai PBS Verify’s mother organization, is the tax on alcohol and tobacco, with a maximum of 2 billion THB (around 65 million USD) annually. While the income ceiling is adjustable every three years to ensure sufficient funding, Thai PBS is also permitted by law to earn additional revenues from sponsorship and donations as well as merchandising and intellectual property rights. Yet they must not in any way compromise the independence and the public broadcasting mandate of Thai PBS.
