Post by : Shakul

The Government of Thailand has officially announced that welfare card payments will be raised to 400 baht for eligible citizens during a specific timeframe. This initiative aims to assist those who are vulnerable amid increasing living expenses.

Effective from April 13 to May 12, 2026, this temporary payment hike comes following cabinet approval on April 11, 2026, aimed at alleviating financial pressures on approximately 13.22 million cardholders. The payment limit for essential items will be temporarily boosted from 300 baht to 400 baht.

The Thailand Anti-Fake News Center has verified this announcement and continues to combat the spread of misinformation. The agency has flagged numerous misleading messages across social media platforms, including unsubstantiated job offers and financial scams.

Authorities emphasize the need for citizens to verify information before sharing, as several instances of false claims have arisen in relation to national matters. The ministry strongly encourages reliance on official channels for accurate updates.

To combat misinformation, citizens are urged to report any suspicious content through designated official channels, including hotlines and the Anti-Fake News Center’s website, promoting accurate and verified information.
