According to Vice Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, beneficiaries of the 10,000-baht handbook can use the money for anything they see fit, including paying off their debt.

According to reports, Mr. Phumtham responded to claims that many people who were eligible for the flyer in the scheme’s initial stage, which actually kicked off on Wednesday, intend to use it to aid in the payment of their debts.

” They can use the money]to clear their debts ]. They have the right to use the money to solve their problems”, said Mr Phumtham, who is also defence secretary, on Thursday.

This is evidence that the government will fulfill its claims. We just have to wait until the first phase of the project is complete before the next step is completed.

Some critics who said they planned to launch an exploration into whether or not the system is a vote-buying try downplayed his threats.

” We’re not concerned about that. We’re focusing on tackling women’s problems”, Mr Phumtham said.

Anutin Charnvirakul, the deputy prime minister, and Anutin Charnvirakul, the interior minister, both issued a separate warning to borrowers on Thursday to stop intimidating recipients into using the handbook to pay their debts.

On the first day of the program, product sharks were seen queueing up alongside flyer recipients at ATMs to remove the 10, 000-baht handout, according to reports.

” It is unlawful for creditors to terrify debt”, Mr Anutin warned.

Police global were ordered to take action against borrowing predators who intimidate flyer consumers on Thursday by Assistant National Police Chief Pol Lt Gen Akkaradet Pimonsri.

Prioritizes the distribution of funds to 12.4 million position security users and 2.1 million illness users via PromptPay, which is tied to their national ID figures, in the first step, which will continue until the end of this month.

Due to the limitations of the PromptPay structure, just about 3.1 million security card holders and those who are disabled received their$ 10 000-baht handbook on Wednesday.

By the end of the year, state security users have been urged to hyperlink their national ID card amounts to the PromptPay system in order to get the 10,000-baht gift.

More than 1 million position security cardholders still need to connect to the payment system, compared to the 11 million who have used PromptPay.
