A disabled resident in Lumphun is delighted to receive 10,000 baht as part of the government’s economic stimulus program, intending to use it for essential goods and to repay debts to local shops.
On September 25, 2024, Governor Santi Thongyimlamai visited areas affected by flooding and provided support to vulnerable groups, including the disabled. Due to heavy rainfall, the Kuang river overflowed, inundating homes and necessitating evacuations to temporary shelters for those affected. During his visit, the governor spoke with a disabled individual who expressed gratitude for the 10,000 baht Digital Wallet transfer, which is crucial for purchasing necessities, blankets, and milk, as well as settling existing debts for goods previously received from local stores. The recipient plans to save any remaining funds for future needs.
Governor Santi noted this as a positive story, highlighting the importance of government support and the economic stimulus initiative for those in need. The funds aim to be a “door of hope” for those impacted by the floods, allowing them to maintain their livelihoods during this crisis. He emphasized that the Digital Wallet program encompasses 878 districts across 76 provinces, intended to alleviate living costs and improve the quality of life for those requiring assistance while promoting economic resilience within communities.
The governor encouraged any disabled individuals or vulnerable groups who have not received their Digital Wallet funds or faced registration issues to contact the public service center at 1111 or seek assistance from local authorities.
