As for the spending of vulnerable groups, bedridden patients, and people without mobile phones, the criteria will be announced soon. He admitted that if the conditions are relaxed too much, there will be a problem of granting or transferring the right to others to use digital money to buy products instead in large quantities. Therefore, it must be considered carefully.For spending by people in the community, they must purchase goods at small shops, small convenience stores in the community according to their household registration, within the radius of the district, including 7-Eleven, Lotus, Mini Big C stores in the community, but not large department stores. As for monks, they accept that they have the right to use digital money and there is no prohibition whatsoever. -515- Thai News AgencySource: Thai News Agency
