[Refers the government’s planned bailout for national carrier Thai Airways which is apparently on the verge of collapse. This cartoon alleges that the government does not adequately help common people and instead focuses on large businesses.
There have been a spate of highly-publicized suicides. One person drew a sketch of PM Prayuth which was left by their body. It was alleged that she could not qualify for the government’s 5000 baht assistance and was destitute. Some reports noted her boyfriend cheated her out of the payout.]
