Sudarat launched the Thai Sang Thai Party caravan promoting the “3,000 Baht Pension” policy, announcing a restoration of dignity for the elderly and a revitalization of grassroots economies across Thailand, declaring it a genuine economic storm.
1 Feb 2026 GMT+7 Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan, leader of the Thai Sang Thai Party (TST) and prime ministerial candidate, launched the caravan 3,000 Baht Pension to actively campaign for votes at Bang Kapi Market in Bangkok (BKK) alongside the party’s candidates for the House of Representatives in BKK, emphasizing the party’s main policy and candidate number 48 in the final stretch of the election campaign. Many citizens, especially seniors, joined and supported the policy, believing it to be a solution that will improve the quality of life for the elderly, providing greater security and dignity. The caravan vehicles will spread out across various communities.
Khunying Sudarat emphasized the key principle that the monthly 3,000 Baht pension policy grants seniors aged 60 and over this benefit to cover basic living expenses, reducing reliance on their children and addressing poverty in old age. This policy is not just a cash handout; recipients must enroll in health care programs to reduce illness rates and lower the country’s long-term public health budget. This helps seniors maintain good health and enables them to contribute to society again. It is a mechanism to create income security, reduce inequality, and instill pride in those who have long contributed to the nation.
“The Thai Sang Thai Party is confident that the 3,000 Baht pension policy will be a crucial gear in revitalizing Thailand’s economy from the grassroots level. Injecting funds directly into the hands of seniors nationwide will immediately boost purchasing power in every community and area, creating continuous economic circulation locally rather than just distributing money for short-term popularity. Every baht will be spent at nearby shops and markets, generating income for small businesses and stimulating production across sectors. This will revive the once sluggish economy, making recovery widespread and equitable in all regions across the country.”
