Srettha Thavisin Offers $300 Crypto Airdrop

The leader of the opposition in Thailand, Srettha Thavisin, is said to have promised a $300 crypto airdrop to each citizen if he were to become Prime Minister. Also, if he wins the next general election, which is set for May, the Pheu Thai party could make good on its basic income promises.

Thavisin has said that the plan is meant to help the people of Thailand get out of debt. So, they have some of the highest household debt in the area, and Thavisin is trying to find some help for them. So, he promised to drop off the supplies by plane.

“Over the last eight years, our country’s economy has been hurt, and people’s incomes have gone down while their expenses have gone up,” Bloomberg reported from Thavisin. “The current government has been giving out small amounts of money as IV drips, she said. “That’s not the right way to do things, and it doesn’t help the economy grow correctly.”

Srettha Thavisin’s Offer Contradicts Bank of Thailand’s

As part of its plans to boost the economy, the Pheu Thai Party said it would give 10,000 baht to anyone 16 or older. This has been questioned. How this promise will be kept and the money be given? On the other hand, the Bank of Thailand said that stablecoins based on the Thai baht were illegal. This has done many wonders for the digital currency that could be used in the airdrop.

The Bangkok Post also wrote about what Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, a minister in the prime minister’s office, thought about the promise. After that, he said the proposal could have “major financial consequences” for the country.
