Check the People's Party policy content: Half-Half Plus receipt lottery via the Paotang app, 3,000 baht for pregnant women, 1,200 baht/month child allowance, abolishing compulsory military service, dismantling gray capital networks, scammers, money laundering, stopping extortion and ticket corruption.
On 25 Dec 2025 GMT+7, the People's Party launched the government's policy website featuring four main policy sets: 1. New economic model, 2. State reform, 3. Security and democracy, and 4. Quality of life enhancement.
1. Resolving Thailand-Cambodia issues focusing on sovereignty protection, preventing prolonged conflict, bringing compatriots home, ensuring border security, and using global pressure on Hun Sen to stop threats against Thailand. The plan includes pushing Cambodia to comply with ceasefire terms, advancing Smart Tower installations to detect drones and border crossings, reducing risks from landmines, and eradicating scammers, which are a root cause of problems.
2. Public welfare to reduce living costs and provide care from pregnancy to end of life, addressing structural issues causing widespread insecurity, from children whose quality of life depends on family status to elderly relying on inadequate state allowances.
Examples of welfare include a 1,200 baht/month child allowance for ages 0-6 over four years (600 baht/month in the first year, universal), 3,000 baht for pregnant women, 1,500 baht/month pension for elderly over four years (1,000 baht/month first year) for elderly and disabled. Community volunteers will provide home care for bedridden people, creating 70,000 jobs with monthly incomes of 15,000-20,000 baht. Other supports include fares from 8 to 45 baht, 1,000 baht housing rent subsidy for six months, and a 0.25 baht/unit electricity cost reduction.
3. Half-Half Plus receipt lottery to give SMEs an advantage and stimulate the economy. The initial step is to top up 1,000 baht for 12 million people to purchase goods/services from SMEs participating in the receipt lottery program.
Consumers buying goods/services from SMEs via the Paotang app (or other participating bank apps) will receive one SME receipt lottery ticket for every 500 baht spent, which can be accumulated across various SME stores. They can select three-digit numbers and enter bi-monthly prize draws, with a limit of 20 tickets per month in the first phase. The SME receipt lottery prize pool is 1 billion baht per month.
4. Adjust minimum wage calculation, increasing wages beyond living costs annually, and adding vacation days. The People's Party proposes raising labor welfare for all groups to ensure fairness and stability, aiming for quality of life improvements rather than mere subsistence, with policies as follows.
Raise minimum wage base by 4% immediately to 350-420 baht/day, adjust formula toward a “living wage” that rises with living costs and skills. Implement a 5-day workweek with Saturday overtime, a 40-hour workweek, increase annual leave to 10 days, add menstrual leave and leave to bid farewell to family members, among others.
5. Mega project to upgrade skills at all ages. The People's Party government will launch a mega project to enhance workforce skills, increasing investment and changing methods to align with market and learner needs, raising Thai incomes and enabling Thai entrepreneurs to compete globally. A single state “central system” or “platform” will create learning accounts for all Thais to access government-supported training.
Citizens will receive “vouchers” to shop or select courses within the system at no cost, possibly including cash compensation for time spent. The government will select quality courses from private sector, higher education institutions, and learning platforms to provide diverse options for voucher use.
6. Solving farmer debt: turning burden into power. Agricultural debt is a chronic problem for Thai farmers. Excess debt harms mental health and quality of life, and slows investment that generates income.
The People's government will resolve farmer debt by forgiving debts for farmers aged 70 who have paid more than principal, as previous policies only allowed interest payments, which was unfair. Those who have not yet paid beyond principal will have debts reduced by 50%. For farmers with debt problems, debt restructuring and agricultural restructuring will provide options. Good payers receive rewards: 10% interest refund and stop paying interest alone, paying principal before interest, with debts having clear end dates.
7. Twelve agricultural vouchers for targeted subsidies to develop modern agricultural managers. The People's government proposes 12 targeted agricultural vouchers to support farmers comprehensively—from improving productivity, lowering costs, addressing root problems, to adding value, standards, and processing.
The key is shifting government support from blanket subsidies to “targeted subsidies.” The government will provide budgets and resources as “options” for farmers to improve soil and choose services from private providers or agencies that meet their needs. Examples include vouchers for production efficiency, no-burning at 250 baht/rai, disease-resistant cassava cuttings at 800 baht/rai, soil analysis plus precision fertilizer at 500 baht/rai, and soil improvement crops at 1,000 baht/rai.
8. Land rights verification: issuing an additional 70 million rai of title deeds and expanding conservation forests by 30 million rai. Current land ownership documents are inconsistent across various laws and categories, including land code, agricultural reform law, subsistence land law, and lands not overlapping with any agency but eligible for title deeds.
The People's government policy aims to provide citizens holding land with various or no ownership documents a uniform national standard title deed. The goal is to verify land rights and issue 70 million rai of new title deeds. The government will apply modern technology to administration, registrations, legal acts, and land services, such as online registration, digital land registry, satellite and AI land rights verification, base maps, one map system, applications, and develop nationwide online land databases as open data.
9. Abolish compulsory military conscription and move toward professional soldiers with good pay and full benefits, strengthening the military and national defense. The People's Party will use the Ministry of Defense's 2022 announcement on recruiting temporary military personnel (volunteer soldiers) to replace conscription. Regulations will be revised so trained soldiers can work day shifts with more frequent days off, allowing lifestyles comparable to temporary or contracted government employees, improving efficiency and work-life balance.
10. Dismantle gray capital networks, scammers, money laundering, stop extortion and ticket corruption. Thailand is currently simultaneously a victim, transit point, and money laundering hub. Scammers and gray capital networks use mule accounts, front companies, and complex money routes. Dispersed government data makes investigation difficult and leaves room for discretionary corruption.
The plan is to “connect data to see the entire operation” through a Data Bureau, cutting illegal money flows by linking financial and identity data from banks, telecoms, cryptocurrencies, corporate registrations, and ultimate beneficial owners (UBO) to trace money to perpetrators beyond mule accounts. Assets will be seized, funding channels cut off, and a compensation fund for victims will be established from seized assets.
