Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra says part of government's vaunted 450 billion baht ( $13.1 billion ) "digital wallet" handout will be distributed in cash.

Details are still being finalised and will be announced in a policy statement to parliament.

The digital wallet handout had previously entailed transferring 10,000 in credit to 50 million Thais via a smartphone application to spend in their localities.
