Party touts novel childcare coupons to woo votersListen to this articleThai Sang Thai has unveiled the party's flagship welfare policy under its "tireless Thais" campaign, including a 2,000-baht monthly childcare coupon for mothers until a child reaches six years of age. The party announced it will issue childcare coupons worth 2,000 baht per month starting from pregnancy until the child turns six -- a period it calls the "golden window" for optimal brain and physical development. The coupons will be able to be redeemed for milk, vitamins and other essential childcare products under close medical supervision and doctor recommendations within the programme. The policy aims to ensure Thai children are well-nourished while reducing parents' financial strain. The party said the initiative is a strategic national investment to build human capital and incentivise married couples to have children.
