Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin defended his government's economic stimulus measures on Tuesday.
Mr Srettha, who is also the finance minister, said the measures were aimed at addressing short-term needs like reducing the cost of living and energy.
On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Phumtham Wechayachai said criticism of the 10,000-baht digital currency handout scheme will not affect government stability.
The Pheu Thai Party had been planning the project for years and was just trying to think "outside the box", said Mr Phumtham.
The coalition government, led by Pheu Thai, has announced a raft of measures, including a giving every person over 16 years of age 10,000 baht (US$276.5) via a "digital wallet" that it hopes will kickstart a sluggish economy.
The rollout of the 560-billion-baht digital wallet policy has been delayed to sometime in the first quarter of 2024 from the original Feb 1 start amid criticism that it may strain state finances.
The economy grew just 1.8% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier, much slower than the previous quarter, as weak exports and investment undercut strength in tourism.
The Bank of Thailand (BoT), which has urged fiscal discipline, recently raised its 2024 growth outlook to 4.4% from 3.8%. Last year's growth was 2.6%.
