KHON KAEN: Khon Kaen Municipality has set aside about 200 million baht in reserves for its two pawnshops, for loans to people bringing in goods ranging from gold jewellery to a pestle and mortar to raise needed cash amid rising costs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Municipal mayor Theerasak Theetkhayuphan said on Thursday that low-income earners made use of the services at the two pawnshops every day.
