The Prime Minister suggests gradually registering for the ‘Digital Wallet’ privilege.

Government House, The Prime Minister admitted that the first day of registration for the 10,000 baht handout may be bumpy, but he will do his best. He said that moving the house registration is possible, but he personally thinks that people should use it in their hometowns to prevent it from congregating in big cities. He thanked the House for passing the draft of the 67 additional budget bill and explained all doubts. Prime Minister Settha Thavisin spoke about the case of a large number of people interested in joining the 10,000 baht top-up project via digital wallets via a government application, causing the application to crash. He said that he would have to look into it. Last night (July 31), he met with Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavachira until late at night, where they discussed the matter of taking good care of the system and trying to communicate to the public that the application is now open. The part where the message was posted via x, stating that people should gradually register, the Prime Min ister said that on the first day, it was normal to have some problems, but he tried to do his best. As for whether moving the household registration will help expand the economy in the community, the Prime Minister said that it can be done, but he sees it as more of a hassle. And if asked for his personal opinion, he would give an example that he would like people from Nong Bua Lamphu Province to use it more because this is designed to be that way. Otherwise, everyone would be concentrated in big cities and cities with a high labor force, whether Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, or Pattaya, which are already developed cities. The main purpose of the digital wallet is to spread development to every region. The Prime Minister also thanked the House meeting for approving the draft of the 2024 additional budget bill of 122 billion baht to proceed with the 10,000 baht top-up project via digital wallets, which he thanked the members for approving. The reporter asked again whether it would go smoothly or not. The Pri me Minister said that he would try to continue doing it. If anyone has doubts or questions, we must explain them.
