On April 12, 2021, Labour Minister Mr. Suchart Chomklin reported progress on the “Section 33 We Love Each Other” project. Today (April 12, 2021) is the date of the fourth and final installment of 1,000 Baht for the full 4,000 Baht to be transferred to entitled insured persons under Section 33. The group that has reviewed their rights will receive 4,000 Baht through the ‘Pao Tang’ application, too, so that the workers can spend and buy goods and services through the ‘Pao Tang’ application, resulting in cash flow in the economy during the Songkran Festival.
Mr. Suchart continued that the “Section 33 We Love Each Other” project, under the leadership of Prime Minister and Minister of Defense General Prayuth Chan-ocha, and the Ministry of Labour under the supervision of Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan, has given importance to support and remedies to alleviate the cost of living of insured persons under Section 33, entitled to 4,000 Baht per person. Eligible insured persons registered online via the www.M33WeLoveEachOther.com website. The project is considered to benefit many insured groups, which have never received support and remedies before. Although 4,000 Baht doesn’t seem like a lot, it can help alleviate workers’ suffering as they can use the money they receive, at 1,000 Baht per week until the full 4,000 Baht, to spend on the necessities of life. This money can be spent through the ‘Pao Tang’ application to buy products and services from merchants, including small merchants such as the ‘Thong Fah’ shop participating in the “Half Each” and “We Win” projects. It also helps small vendors such as hawker stalls to promote turnover in the economy, resulting in economic recovery.
In this regard, insured persons who have received money from the “Section 33 We Love Each Other” project can use the money in the ‘Pao Tang’ application to spend on purchases of goods and services from 06.00 – 23.00 hours, every day until its expiration on May 31, 2021.
