Thai Enquirer Summary
Economic News
The public will have to wait and see if the cabinet’s meeting will approve additional
financial assistance measures for the public today. New relief measures to be put up for
cabinet approval will include a 4,000-baht cash handout for those in need along with the
extension of the existing measures.
Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow told reporters that the
cabinet will consider a 2nd
round of assistance measures including a cash handout
of 4,000 baht. He said after a meeting with Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha
along with Deputy Prime Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow and Finance
Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith at Government House yesterday.
The Finance Ministry is preparing to inject financial aid worth around 200 billion baht to
combat deteriorating economic conditions during the prolonged Covid-19 crisis.
Such financial relief will be disbursed through state-owned financial institutions
by implementing policies to enhance liquidity and take care of various groups of
debtors, said Kulaya Tantitemit, acting director-general of the Fiscal Policy
Office.
Of the 200 billion baht, 100 billion is the leftover liquidity from first-phase
government measures issued to tame adverse effects of the outbreak. Details of
the upcoming policies are scheduled to be announced after today's cabinet
meeting.
The Covid-19 pandemic has caused non-performing loans (NPLs) among small and
medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to rise to 229 billion baht.
Federation of Thai SMEs Association (FTA) president and secretary-general
Sangchai Theerakulwanich said small, medium and micro businesses continue to
be hardest hit by the outbreak, especially in light of the 2nd
wave. He said a
recovery would unlikely to happen soon or at least 3-4 quarters.
NPLs among SMEs are now accounting for 6 per cent of total lending of 3.5
trillion baht or 229 billion baht, Sangchai said, citing Bank of Thailand (BoT)
data.
The FTA president said SMEs’ lack of access to financial sources contributed to
a liquidity crunch among SMEs. Besides, SMEs cannot easily access to the 30-
billion-baht fund of the Social Security Fund (SSF).
“Thailand has roughly 3 million SMEs, employing around 12 million
people, which accounted for 35% of the country’s GDP, which are
deemed the country’s fundamentals. Ongoing problems that happen to
SMEs such as a lack of access to loan sources should have the
government listened and paid attention to as to help alleviate the impact
of the outbreak on this SMEs,” Sangchai said.
The Covid-19 outbreak has been blamed for the country’s household debt to its highest
level in 12 years or around 480,000 baht per household.
The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) found the household
debt in 2020 reached 483,950 baht per household in its latest survey due to the
higher costs of living and lack of income caused by falling unemployment. The
survey also shows that more than 70 percent of the debt is new, and is a result of
the economic crisis caused by COVID-19.
The UTCC’s latest survey of 1,229 respondents during November 18-27 found
household debt averaged 483,950 baht per household, up by 42.3 per cent from
340,053 baht during the same period of 2019. The figure in November 2019 was
up 7.4 per cent from the corresponding period of 2018. In 2009, household debts
averaged only 147,542 baht per household.
The household debt ratio is expected to rise to 89-90.9 per cent of GDP in the 1st
quarter of 2021, up from 88 per cent at the end of 2020, said UTCC president
Thanavath Phonvichai, adding that any recovery is dependent on the
government’s ability to contain the spread of Covid-19.
The Ministry of Finance plans to open new registration for those who missed out on the
last registration around the end of January to allow nearly 1 million people to register for
the half-half co-payment scheme.
Krisada Chinavicharana, permanent secretary for finance, however, said the
ministry has yet to consider a 3rd round of registration for the quota of 15 million
people with a proposal to additional 1,500 baht, from 3,500 baht per registrant.
Political News
Covid-19 cases in Thailand continue to rise in the country, with new clusters of infections
including 21 Thai gamblers who return from Myanmar; 2 Navy soldiers who visited a
beer garden in Sattahip, causing 273 other crew members to be put under quarantine.
Meanwhile, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) voiced concern
over the discovery of 6 people who died on the same day in Bangkok after consuming
“white powdery narcotic” substance.
Thailand recorded 249 confirmed cases of Covid-19 yesterday, of these 176 cases
are locally transmitted including 2 crew members on Thai navy’s HTMS Chakri
Naruebet aircraft carrier, with 273 others being quarantined and tested for the
virus, said a navy admiral on Monday.
In Sattahip district, Chonburi province, 273 crew members on the Chakrinarubet
aircraft carrier have been quarantined, in a building in Sattahip naval base, after 2
of their fellow colleagues were found to be infected.
The 2 are among 11 of the crew who visited a beer garden in Sri Racha district.
The 9 others tested negative.
Embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday came out to defend the
government’s move to set a larger government deficit in next year’s budget amid the
opposition’s concerns.
He said the larger deficit would not affect the country’s efforts to manage the
spread and economic fallout of the coronavirus as he put it, “the 2022 budget
deficit will not affect fiscal discipline and the country's drive to move forward
from the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic,” in his televised remarks to
civil servants and the public.
The government plans a deficit of 700 billion baht, up from 609 billion baht this
year.
Military hardware procurement projects are expected to take centre stage at the upcoming
censure motion against the government.
Yutthapong Jarassathian, a Pheu Thai Party MP and deputy party leader, decried
the allocation of government spending for fiscal 2022 set at 3.1 trillion baht, down
200 billion baht from fiscal 2021. Yutthapong said in his experience of more than
20 years as an MP, he has never seen any government set lower budget spending
amid the pandemic and economic crisis. He questioned the government’s ability to
revive the economy amid lower budget spending as he is worried that the
government would fail to provide assistance measures for business sectors and the
general public amid the lack of concrete policies.
The Pheu Thai deputy leader also pushed for Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-
cha to clarify defense spending amid the outbreak, with several weapons and
military hardware procurement projects set to go ahead in the next fiscal year.
The military procurement projects listed out by Yutthapong include:
The procurement of 2 Chinese submarines at a humungous price tag of 22.5
billion baht
The construction of submarine dockyards worth 950 million baht
The army’s procurement of armoured Strykers worth 4.226 billion baht
The procurement of new tanks worth 1.672 billion baht; the procurement of
armoured vehicles worth 1.026 billion baht and the procurement of a new
luxury jet for its top generals and VIPs worth 1.35 billion baht.
The Air Force’s procurement of light attack aircraft worth 4.5 billion baht
and the air force-based space operational centre worth 1.47 billion baht.
There is some progress about the formation of a reconciliation committee to ease the
tensions. The names of 11 committee members have now revealed after Parliament
speaker Chuan Leekpai yesterday signed his approval to endorse the reconciliation
committee comprising representatives from the government, government MPs, senators
and academics.
The 11 members are:
1) Deputy Defence Minister Gen Chaicharn Changmongkol
2) Therdpong Chaiyanant, a Democrat list MP
3) Sora-at Klinprathum, a Bhumjai Thai list MP
4) Nirote Sunthornlekha, a Phalang Pracharat Party MP for Nakhon Sawan
5) Senator Chaweerat Kasetsunthorn
6) Senator Wallop Tangkhananurak
7) Nirut Thuengnak, President of Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University

10) Somsak Rungroong, President of Southeast Bangkok College
11) Viroj Limkaisaeng, President of Rajamangala University of Technology Isan
The reconciliation committee is scheduled for the 1st meeting at 13.30 hrs on

General News
The CCSA warned those who use illicit drugs as being at increased risk of infection
during the pandemic. The warning came following a case of 6 people in Bangkok who
died on the same day after consuming the white powdery narcotic sustance.
Police could not yet confirm whether the substance which looks like powdered
milk was a combination of ketamine and sleeping pills.
The national police chief has pledged to crack down on a "new" type of drug better
known as "powdered milk ketamine", following a case in which six people in Bangkok
died on the same day after consuming it.
National police chief Pol Gen Suwat Jangyodsuk said police could not yet
confirm whether the substance, which looks like powdered milk, was a
combination of ketamine and sleeping pills as speculated, as the results of the
autopsies had not yet been released.
Pol Gen Suwat said he had instructed the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) and
the Narcotics Suppression Bureau (NSB) to urgently investigate where the
substance came from and how it was distributed. An incident, like this, in which
so many people died after taking the same drug on the same day has never
occurred before. Five of the six people died in an area under the jurisdiction of
Wat Phraya Krai police station in Bangkok.
Thailand logged 249 new COVID-19 cases, raising the total to 10,547, 8,381 of which
were contracted domestically, including 2,839 from proactive testing, and 2,141 were
returnees. So far, 6,566 have recovered and been discharged, 3,914 patients are being
treated in hospitals, while 67 have died, according to the Centre for Covid-19 Situation
Administration (CCSA).
The 249 new cases over the past 24 hours consisted of 176 detected through
surveillance and service systems, 48 confirmed through active case finding, 14
arrivals who dodged quarantine and 11 quarantined during arrivals.
The cases included 14 people who had returned from Myanmar illegally (13 Thais
and one Myanmar national). Some of them had travelled to the neighbouring
country for gambling and other purposes.
Of the 11 people testing positive in quarantine facilities, 2 Thais had flown back
from the United Kingdom, 2 Thais from Switzerland, 1 each from Turkey,
Bahrain and Denmark, as well as a Dutch man from Hungary, a British man from
the United Arab Emirates, a Somalian man from Malaysia and an American man
from his country.
Of the cases, 147 were exposed to the virus while visiting high-risk places.
Provinces with 2-digit cases include Samut Sakhon (37), Nonthaburi (31), Ang
Thong (19), and Bangkok (36).
Proactive testing led to 48 positive cases being found -- 43 in Samut Sakhon (two
Thais and 41 migrant workers), 4 migrant workers in Nonthaburi, and 1 Thai in
Bangkok,
In addition, the source of infection of 29 cases is still being sought, most of them
found in Rayong (11) and Chonburi (12).
21 Thais who returned from Myanmar yesterday are confirmed Covid-19 cases, sparking
concerns about the capacity of local authorities in handling a spike in cases, according to
local officials.
The group is the third batch of Thai people who were escorted across the border
from Myanmar's Myawaddy by soldiers and health officials.
The officials, who wore protective gear, took them straight to Mae Sot Hospital.
The group, who reportedly worked at a casino in the border town, had taken
Covid-19 tests and the results came back positive.
It was believed that more than 200 Thai nationals were stranded in Myawaddy
following the novel coronavirus outbreak. In the first batch of 40 returnees who
arrived last Thursday, 17 tested positive. The second batch of 14 returnees all
tested positive. The latest arrival at Mae Sot Hospital which is treating 43 Covid-
19 patients has sparked serious concerns among local officials. Field hospitals
were being planned to receive the influx of Thais from Myawaddy.
The Ministry of Public Health is hinting that it may allow local administrative bodies to
purchase and launch their own Covid-19 vaccination drives after the mayor of
Nonthaburi city expressed his office's readiness to fork out 260 million baht to purchase
vaccines for his constituents.
Nakhon Nonthaburi mayor, Somnuek Thanadechakul, said his office has enough
funds to buy 400,000 vaccines to cover 200,000 of its residents. The plan is
intended to ease the central government's burden and speed up the distribution of
the vaccines.
The mayor added that instead of dealing directly with the vaccine's suppliers, his
office plans to purchase the vaccines which the government had already ordered.
According to Mr Somnuek, 20 other local administrative bodies are also
considering whether to buy vaccines for their constituents.
Sonthiyan Chuenruthainaitham, who launched “TOP TV” Channel this month, has put up
an online advertisement for more than 70 vacancies for the channel after reports that a
group of well-known journalists from the Nation TV had flocked to join his news
channel.
On Top News Facebook page, 74 vacant positions have been advertised to work
for the new channel. Interestingly, the channel stressed that it is looking for those
who uphold the Nation-Religion-Monarchy state ideology and dare to present
truth in accordance to media ethics.
