Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun said the ministry has joined forces with the association and over 90 modern trade and mall operators that operate more than 800 branches in total across the country to provide the heavily discounted essential items, including consumer products, cosmetics, pet food and electronic items.

The campaign aligns with the “Khon La Khrueng Plus” co-payment scheme and also allows state welfare cardholders to access the discounts.
