Srettha Thavisin, the prime minister, thanked the government on Sunday for facilitating the public’s enrollment for the 10,000-baht digital wallet flyer.

The prime minister expressed gratitude for the assistance of all state firms as well as the private sector, according to official Chai Watcharonke. Some 23.7 million persons had already registered as of 9.30 am on Sunday.

“ The feedback and the sign-up rates of the people are moral support for&nbsp, the government’s move forward against opposition and devaluing ( the digital wallet scheme ) for political purposes”.

To assist ready beneficiaries who have smartphones and require assistance with registration, the government added 900 additional services points to Krungthai Bank branches, according to Mr. Chai, increasing the total amount of service points to over 6,000.
