Thai Enquirer Summary
Economic News
The government’s planned allocation of the 3,500-baht monthly financial assistance for 2 months (February-March) to 35 million people to ease financial burden of the public from the Covid-19 pandemic has drew mixed reaction from various parties.
The Ministry of Finance said it had money to fund the allocation for only 2 months enough to cover 35 million people because the government has to “tighten its budget”.
Krisada Chinavicharana, the finance permanent secretary, confirmed that around 14 million people will not receive the cash handout under the “Rao Chana” relief project. These people are 3 million civil servants, employees of state enterprises and 11 million people who insured under Section 33 of the Social Security Act and higher income earners according to assessments by the Finance Ministry.
The opposition Pheu Thai Party slammed the government’s plan to provide cash giveaways of 3,500 baht a month for 2 months to people affected by the outbreak, saying that the amount promised is insufficient to help ease their economic hardship.
In a statement issued yesterday, Pheu Thai proposed cash subsidies of 6,000 baht a month for 3 months for informal workers not covered by the social security scheme like freelancers and farmers in Red Zone provinces and 5,000 baht per month for 3 months for those outside the Red Zone provinces.
The party also proposed the creation of an SME Credit Fund, with 1 trillion baht to be extended to SMEs, without going through commercial financial institutions.
United front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) chair Jatuporn Promphan described the new round of this financial relief package as “hideous”. Believing that the new wave of the outbreak is more severe than the 1st round, Jatuporn questioned the government’s idea of giving away the 3,500 baht monthly cash subsidy for only 2 months, compared with the 1st round of the outbreak which saw eligible members of the public being provided with 5,000 baht for 3 months.
The UDD chair called on the government to revise its decision and asked it to raise the amount of cash subsidy to 5,000 baht for 3 months. He also called for embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha to tell the truth to the public if the government is running out of money.
Meanwhile, Thanavath Phonvichai, director of the Economic and Business Forecasting Centre at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) hailed the free cash handout package as an appropriate measure taken by the government.
Thailand is estimated to lose 100 billion baht in income per month, says the UTCC. It further predicted that Thailand would lose around 300-400 billion baht if the outbreak situation prolongs for 1.5-3 months. UTCC
however, believes that the government will be able to rein in the outbreak situation by February this year, sending the economic loss to stand at around 150-200 billion baht.
As a result, Thailand will likely see an economic contraction of 2.2 per cent, rather than 2.8 per cent predicted earlier.
The cash handout scheme is expected to inject no less than 70 billion baht into the economy which should be sufficient enough to sustain the fallout, Thanavath said.
The Digital Economy and Society (DES) Ministry said it is negotiating with mobile phone providers to allow mobile phone users to download and use free data when using the Covid-19 contact-tracing app “Mor Chana” on their smartphones for 3 months starting from January 11.
TMB Analytics estimates that the new wave of the Covid-19 outbreak will wipe 140 billion baht off Thailand’s trade and tourism revenue which account for 22 per cent of Thailand’s gross domestic product (GDP) and 6.9 million jobs.
It said the biggest economic fallout would be felt by the maximum control zones concentrating in the central and eastern red-zone provinces where trade and tourism accounts for 23 per cent of GDP. It forecast the fresh outbreak, which began in mid-December, would cost these provinces 128 billion baht.
The top 3 worst impacted provinces would be Bangkok, which would lose 81.424 billion, Chonburi 15.463 billion and Phuket 2.799 billion.
TMB Analytics suggested the government should issue remedial measures to support business operators including shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.
SET-listed developer Land & Houses Plc (LH) scaled down its residential launches this year to 12 projects, down 25% from last year, worth a combined 20.7 billion baht.
Managing director Adisorn Thananan-narapool said the company expects to have
28 billion baht in presales and 30 billion in revenue from residential sales by the end of 2021. The investment budget this year exceeds last year's, totaling 11 billion baht with 6 billion allocated for land purchases for residential development, and 5 billion for rental properties.
Last year LH launched 16 new residential projects worth a combined 28.6 billion baht, and invested 6.8 billion baht, lower than the 11 billion originally planned in January 2020.
Thai Airways International Plc (THAI) acting president Chansin Treenuchagron has reassured the public that the carrier is working to ensure its rehabilitation plan will be submitted by its “specified timeframe”.
The Thai flag carrier said on 5 January that it would submit the plan by February 2, after being granted a 1-month extension to a previous deadline of January 2. The plan requires approval by the airline’s creditors.
“THAI would like to reassure to the public that THAI’s rehabilitation plan is still in progress without any interruption under supervision of the Central Bankruptcy Court due to the ongoing circulation of news regarding the rehabilitation plan of Thai which may cause public confusion,” Chansin said in a statement.
The Thai Bond Market Association (TBMA) is confident in the direction of the Thai bond market in 2021, assessing that private companies will continue to raise capitals through the bond market in the long run to boost liquidity amid uncertainty.
TBMA president Tada Phutthitada believes that the impact of the new wave of the outbreak on the bond market will likely be lesser than the 1st round. The association sees new corporate bond issues of 700 billion-750 billion baht this year, after a 36% drop to 684 billion baht last year as more firms sought other funding sources.
Meanwhile, the country’s benchmark interest rate is unlikely to fall further this year, Tada said, adding that Thailand’s policy interest rate should remain steady at a record low of 0.5 per cent this year, as liquidity is not an issue,
Mazda is upbeat about 2020 sales prospects.
Chanchai Trakarnudomsuk, president of Mazda Sales Thailand, hailed various assistance measures rolled out by the government to help drive the economy amid challenging economic circumstances. As a result, the auto sector saw better-than- expected sales volumes at year-end. Domestic car sales dropped 20 per cent to 790,000 vehicles last year.
Mazda also predicts the number of domestic car sales of 840,000 units in 2021, up slightly by 6 per cent from last year but warns of another wave of the outbreak as an uncontrollable factor that could dim this prospect.
Political News
If there is any country that needs a lesson on how not to do things, they should make the Royal Thai Police as a case study.
The Royal Thai Police last night ‘abducted’ a 1st year student at Thammasat University’s dormitory, on grounds of breaking the Lese Majeste laws (112).
The apprehending of the ‘New Sirichai’ a 1st year student at Thammasat University has prompted the gradually slowing student protest movement to pick up today as the ‘friends’ of ‘New Sirichai’ have gathered at the police station where the young student is being held.
The reports suggest that Khlong Luang police in Pathum Thani arrested New Sirichai, a fresh man at Puey Ungphakorn School of Development Studies, for violating Section 112 of the Criminal Code of the lese majeste law in the middle of last night at 23.00 hrs.
New Sirichai is expected to be taken and be detained at the Border Patrol Police Region 1 office on the same night, according to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR). New Sirichai is a member of the United Front of Thammasat and Demonstration (UFTD).

Embattled Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha yesterday asked the public for cooperation when talking about the country’s problems with gambling dens and drug use.
He said no one can do this all by themselves, even a hundred prime ministers will not be able to do it if everyone does not work together.
Gen Prayut’s comments came after gambling dens in Rayong, Chonburi and Chanthaburi were found to have contributed to the new wave of the spread pf the coronavirus outbreak in the country starting in mid-December.
Commenting on the issue of the ongoing deaths (another 3 deaths were reported yesterday) from misuse of drugs,
The new drug cocktail called “Yah K-Nom Phong”, or “K-Powdered Milk” which is linked to many deaths in Bangkok over the weekend,
Gen Prayut said that he did not understand why some people are using the new drug cocktail as he put it, “I do not understand why they are taking it and why do they have to take it which is the problem. This is why I said it is all started with the needs of the people”.
Yesterday, Gen Prayut gave the greenlight to provincial administration organisations (PAOs) to supply Covid-19 vaccines to local people but most importantly that vaccine must receive approval from the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Gen Prayut’s remarks came in response to reports that local administrative organisations (LAOs) in several areas are prepared to set up budgets to provide Covid-19 vaccinations to immunise local residents.
The Prime Minister said LAOs could do so if they plan to use their own budget as this is about decision of local governments.
As the parliament is set to reconvene soon, it has raised fears of the spread of the virus.
Anan Phol-amnuay, Phalang Pracharat Party (PPRP) MP for Kamphaeng Petch province as chairman of the House committee on parliamentary affairs, admitted that the reopening of the House scheduled for January 20 amid the new wave of the outbreak posed a risk of spreading the virus because the parliament is a gathering place for MPs and followers of 77 provinces; some of which are categorised as “red zone” provinces.
Anan said the reopening of the parliamentary session is unavoidable and this requires the parliament to enforce precautionary measures to prevent the virus spread including the control of exit and entry points, social distancing rules and only MP and parliamentary officials are allowed in the parliament.
Meanwhile, the Senate is scheduled for an ordinary session on January 18-19, according to senator Khamnoon Sithisaman.
Senate speaker Pornpetch Wichitcholchai scheduled a meeting of the Senate whip today to discuss rules and whether or not the Senate is ready to return to debate charter amendment drafts.
This is the same as the House committee considering charter amendment drafts which has to decide on the charter amendment movement as it is required to present draft amendments on January 21-22 to the parliament before parliament goes into recess from February 28.
On the upcoming Bangkok gubernatorial election, it is still unclear whether incumbent Bangkok governor
Pol Gen Aswin Kwannmuang will be running for re-election as he said he has yet to decide on the matter. Aswin only told reporters that he keeps himself fit, leaving the media to guess if he plans to stand for the race.
Earlier, a report said former national police chief Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda had phoned Pol Gen Aswin and asked him if he will run for the re-election. The Bangkok governor told Pol Gen Chakthip that he had not made decision.
All this came after Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon came out to say that his Phalang Pracharat party had nominated Pol Gen Chakthip as the candidate.
Pol Gen Chakthip later came out to say that he has not made up his mind yet.
Another report said Pol Gen Chakthip had launched a Facebook page, “Pol Gen Chakthip Chaijinda” on December 25, 2020 asking the public to click “Like” to him, fuelling speculation that he could be running for the race.
Another potential candidate was Chatchart Sithiphan, who has been preparing for the candidacy of the Bangkok Governor as independent candidate, has come out to make a statement on his Facebook page that Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration has about 50 billion baht or more in its coffers and that is more than enough to vaccinate the entire city.
On the controversy surrounding the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc)’s 45- million-baht solar cell project in Omkoi district of Chiang Mai, Treerat Sirichantaropas, secretary of the House committee on corruption suppression and prevention, said she would petition Pol Gen Sereepisut Temeeyaves, the committee’s chairman, to ask the committee to look into irregularities in the project.
Treerat said he found many irregularities in the Isoc’s solar project worth 45 billion baht such as the terms of reference of the projects presented by some companies which are not even solar installation operators.
Meanwhile, political activist Srisuwan Janya has asked the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to look into a suspected land encroachment case at the remote village of Ban Mae Kerb in Chiang Mai’s Omkoi district. Srisuwan said he obtained information that Ban Mae Kerb is a relatively new village established inside a forest. He said judging from satellite images, there were no traces of human activity in that area until 7 years ago.
The Anti-Money Laundering Office (Amlo)’s meeting resolved to seized and freeze assets worth 13.7 million baht of well-known rice trader Apichart “Sia Pieng” Chansakulporn, associates and TC Property.
The case involves assets worth 13.7 million baht, including automatic car parking machines and money in bank accounts, and belonged to Apichart, his business associates and TC Property.

General News
There was some good news for Thais as the number of Covid-19 cases in Thailand seems to improve after the country recorded only 157 new cases in the past 24 hours, taking the number of confirmed cases in Thailand has now increased to 10,991, with no new death at 67. Of these, 8,791 contracted Covid-19 domestically, including 3,006 found after proactive testing.
270 Navy personnel on HTMS Chakri Naruebet have tested negative for Covid- 19 after 2 sailors who visited a beer garden in Sri Racha district of Chonburi were earlier found infected with the virus, Navy spokesman Rr. Adm Chettha Jaipiem announced. However, they must still complete 14-day quarantine, he added.
The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) said that
Of the 157, Bangkok confirmed 24 cases, Samut Sakhon 25 and Samut Prakan 15.
Some 90 of the 157 contracted the virus after visiting high-risk places or being in occupations that exposed them to virus patients.
Proactive testing led to the discovery of 42 positive cases in Samut Sakhon (6 foreigners and 4 Thais), Pathum Thani (9 from Myanmar, 3 other foreigners and 1 Thai), Rayong (12 Thais), Chon Buri (5 Thais), and Samut Prakan (1 Thai and 1 from Myanmar).
Meanwhile, 21 Thais caught returning from Myanmar without permission on January 11 have Covid-19 with five of them are asymptomatic.
To make matters worse the police station of Thaa Kham saw one of its officers being tested positive for the virus.
This has prompted the police station that is located around Central Rama 2, to go on a mass testing today .
The Ministry of Public Health has requested further information about the vaccine it has ordered from China following a report it might not be as effective as first thought.
The move came after Brazil officials revealed on Tuesday that the coronavirus vaccine developed in partnership with Sinovac Biotech Ltd was 50.4% effective in preventing coronavirus cases, a number that meets the threshold required by global regulations for approval but is well below the 78% figure announced by Sinovac Biotech last week.
Supakit Sirilak, chief of the Department of Medical Sciences, on Wednesday insisted the government was still likely to proceed with its order of two million doses, starting next month.
He said the request for more details about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine had already been sent to Sinovac Biotech and was in line with the process for submitting vaccines for approval by the Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
