In terms of spending distribution, there are currently 1,083,770 shops ready to accept program payments, including 106,046 restaurants and beverage outlets accepting payments via food delivery platforms. Spending is spread across all regions, with major cities in 22 provinces accounting for 37.682 billion baht, or 62% of total spending. The top five provinces by spending are Bangkok, Chonburi, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, and Nonthaburi.
