PM Anutin visited Buriram on August 16, praising the Thai Help Thai Plus 60-40 aid program after street vendors reported it boosted local sales and helped with living expenses.
On 16 August 2025, Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, in his capacity as leader of the Bhumjaithai Party, spent a holiday break visiting Buriram province. He met with street vendors and residents, and shared a meal with Nevin Chidchob, chair of Buriram United Football Club, and Traisuli Trisornkul, the Prime Minister's Secretary-General.
The atmosphere was casual and friendly, with vendors and locals asking to take photographs with the PM and Nevin.
Anutin asked the vendors and residents how business was going and whether living standards had improved. The vendors responded positively about the Thai Help Thai Plus 60-40 programme, saying it helps with expenses and has increased sales at local shops, keeping money circulating in the community. Anutin smiled at their feedback and reiterated that any measure truly helping ordinary people is worth continuing, and that the government will pursue additional economic stimulus measures.
