Ministry of Commerce Launches 'Thai Helps Thai x Local Low Cost' Initiative in Udon Thani
The Thai Ministry of Commerce has introduced a new cost-of-living reduction campaign at Tang Ngee Soon Superstore in Udon Thani to support consumers and local businesses.
On August 1, 2026, the Thai Ministry of Commerce officially launched the 'Thai Helps Thai x Local Low Cost' event at the Tang Ngee Soon Superstore in the Na Di sub-district of Udon Thani. Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, Director-General of the Department of Business Development, presided over the opening ceremony alongside provincial officials, representatives from the Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion (OSMEP), and various retail industry stakeholders.
This initiative serves as an expansion of the previous 'Thai Helps Thai: Reducing Burdens, Reducing Cost of Living' program. The primary objective is to alleviate financial pressure on the public by offering goods at lower prices while simultaneously creating market opportunities for local Thai entrepreneurs and manufacturers. By collaborating with local wholesale and retail operators nationwide, the Ministry aims to stimulate the local economy.
For residents and travelers in Udon Thani, this event represents a potential opportunity to purchase daily necessities at reduced prices. While the Ministry has emphasized the program's role in cost reduction, specific details regarding the duration of the event at this location and the full list of participating vendors remain to be confirmed. Those interested in taking advantage of these price reductions are encouraged to check local announcements from the Tang Ngee Soon Superstore or the Ministry of Commerce for further updates on the campaign's schedule.
