Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai residents have various opinions on the new conditions of the 10,000 baht digital wallet project.
After the government issued clear conditions regarding the digital wallet of 10,000 baht, expanding the scope of use of the money to the district level according to ID cards. and for Thai people aged 16 years and over with a salary of no more than 70,000 baht or a deposit of no more than 500,000 baht, it is expected that they will be able to use it in May 2024 and have a period of 6 months to exercise their rights. How do people view this matter? Especially Chiang Mai people have many opinions.
Some Chiang Mai residents are happy to receive money to help reduce the burden on their families. But he said he wanted the money to come in this new year. It will stimulate the economy. And this money should be able to be used to make purchases everywhere without being restricted. As for those who do not meet the conditions to receive tens of thousands, they say they are disappointed. Because they pay the same taxes. Therefore, I would like to reflect on the government to change the conditions. or apply the principle of half each person So that all Thai people will receive equal rights. and distribute income precisely
At Wat Mueang Sat Lantern selling area A news team went to the area to ask the opinions of Chiang Mai residents who came to buy lanterns during the Yi Peng festival. Regarding the 10,000 baht digital wallet, the government has made new conditions clearer. Give rights to Thai people aged 16 years and over with a salary not exceeding 70,000 baht or a deposit not exceeding 500,000 baht, expanding the scope of money use to the district level according to ID cards. and is expected to be effective in May 2024, with a period of 6 months to exercise the rights, with many voices saying I’m glad that the government has moved forward with this matter until there is more clarity. But I want the money to come in quickly. This new year will be even better. will be used to pay Another part said that although they were happy, they thought it was not good enough. Because if you really want to stimulate the economy and distribute income This money must be able to be spent everywhere. Not limited to just a specific district or somewhere
For example, students who are entitled to receive this money say that it cannot be used at the university where they study abroad. So I had to bring it home for my mother to spend instead. If this money could be spent everywhere it would be even better. Although the overall picture of this project will provide a lump sum of money to be used to stimulate the economy. But personally, I think It is bringing in money in the future that their own generation or the next generation will have to take responsibility for paying off this debt anyway.
Meanwhile, people who did not meet the conditions to receive a digital wallet of 10,000 baht said they felt hurt because they were Thai people. Pay several baht in taxes per year Why does the government use salary or savings to determine wealth? Because nowadays you have to eat and use things, things are expensive, everything is more expensive. Therefore, I would like to ask the government to sympathize with the people who do not have money. and asked the government to consider adopting the Half-Half Project approach instead. Because it includes everyone, every group, without discrimination, and it also distributes income to truly stimulate the economy.
