Government thanks retail stores for maintaining prices of goods

The Thai government has expressed its gratitude toward store owners for keeping prices of every item at an affordable level until November this year.

Deputy Spokesperson to the Prime Minister’s Office, Major General Sansern Keawkamnerd has revealed that the Ministry of Commerce has received cooperation from 205 retail stores across Thailand in not raising the prices of household goods and fresh food before November.

Many food vendors have also been asked to sell at least one ready to eat meal at a maximum price of 25 baht until September this year.

The Deputy Spokesperson said this is to help shoulder the cost of living for Thai people. He also added that stable fuel prices at present would continue to help keep commodity prices at a reasonable level.
