The Thai Restaurant Association plans to submit an open letter to Thailand’s prime minister calling for the expansion of the “Thai Chuay Thai Plus” (Thais Help Thais Plus) co-payment scheme. The association wants larger restaurant operators to be included in the programme, arguing that the scheme should cover a wider range of businesses in the sector. In its appeal, the association focuses specifically on widening eligibility rather than changing the scheme’s overall structure. The proposal would extend participation beyond the current group of restaurants covered by the co-payment mechanism, allowing bigger operators to benefit from the government support associated with the scheme. The planned letter indicates the association is seeking a policy adjustment by the government at the highest level. The sources report the association’s intent and rationale at a high level; they do not provide details on the current eligibility criteria, the number of additional restaurants that could qualify, or any expected timeline for government consideration. The proposal is presented as a response to what the association describes as the need for broader coverage within the restaurant industry.
