Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2 Guidance on how to download the app "Paotang" to await payments of 2,000-2,400 baht, along with the latest timeline update


Following the "2026 Election" On 8 February 2026, the Election Commission (EC) began releasing unofficial results to the public, revealing that the leading party is the Bhumjaithai Party led by Anutin Charnvirakul.

Regarding the Bhumjaithai Party's campaign promises, many have focused on the "Khon La Khrueng Plus" program, which was highly successful previously. Both merchants and citizens eagerly await its return. Before the announcement of the dissolution of parliament, Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed that Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2 is definitely coming.

When will "Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2" be implemented?

Based on the government formation timeline after the 8 February 2026 election, it can be anticipated as follows for Anutin Charnvirakul:

  • 8 February 2026: House of Representatives election
  • By 9 April 2026: EC certifies 95% of representatives
  • 10-16 April 2026: New representatives report for duty
  • After Songkran: Parliament convenes for the first time, elects speaker and deputy speakers, and awaits royal appointment
  • May 2026: Parliament meets to select prime minister; upon approval, royal appointment follows. Then the prime minister will appoint the cabinet with qualifications vetting, taking about 3 weeks.
  • The cabinet drafts government policies.
  • Mid-June 2026: Policy statement to parliament.
  • After the policy statement: proceed with "Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2".

Simply put, those waiting to use "Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2" funds may be able to spend them starting around June or thereafter.

How much money will be provided in Khon La Khrueng Plus Phase 2?

Previously, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Aeknithi Nitithanprapas revealed progress on the Khon La Khrueng Plus project, stating that the system must be ready to operate. Once the government is official, it will proceed immediately.

The program will maintain the previous principles: 2,000 baht for those outside the tax system and 2,400 baht for those within it. Consideration is ongoing whether to distribute simultaneously or first to those missed in the first round, along with the Thailand Individual Savings Account (TISA) to encourage savings.
