BANGKOK (Reuters): The Thai government's 3.753 trillion baht (US$102 billion) budget for the 2025 fiscal year passed its first parliamentary vote on Friday, but there will be a series of further votes before it can be enacted.
After a three-day debate, the draft budget bill, aimed at kick-starting the economy, passed with 311 votes in favour and 175 against as the Pheu Thai Party-led government commands a majority in the House of Representatives.
