Thai Restaurant Association Raises Concerns Over ‘Thai Help Thai Plus’ Stimulus Program
The Thai Restaurant Association says member businesses have experienced a notable decline in sales under the “Thai Help Thai Plus” economic stimulus scheme, arguing that the rapid inclusion of small, unregulated vendors on the platform has created an uneven competitive environment. The association contends that tax-compliant restaurants are being disadvantaged by competitors it says are able to avoid tax obligations, prompting calls for a review of the program’s implementation and oversight.
