On November 8, 2025, Unsit Sampuntharat, Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Interior, announced that Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has unveiled a new nationwide initiative — “Mahadthai Do It Now: Action 5”. This bold campaign calls on all ministry departments and local administrations to act swiftly and continuously across five high-impact missions aimed at improving citizens’ quality of life and tackling urgent national challenges.

🎯 Action 1: Achieve Economic Prosperity

🛍️ Develop and market OTOP products while enhancing community tourism opportunities.
💸 Support the “Let’s Go Halves Plus” co-payment scheme to stimulate local spending.
✈️ Encourage domestic travel with tax-deduction incentives for Thai citizens, complementing the Let’s Go Halves Plus program and boosting local businesses in less-visited provinces.
