More than 210,000 people have been saved from court proceedings after defaulting on loans worth 38 billion baht thanks to debt mediation events organised nationwide over the past six months, says Justice Minister Somsak Thepsutin.
In total, 210,208 people had their debt problems settled at 77 debt settlement fairs, and the 78th aims to help a further 172,855 debtors shed 30.65 billion baht in unpaid loans and bad debts.
The fair runs from Thursday until Sunday at Impact Exhibition Hall 5 in Muang Thong Thani in Nonthaburi, Mr Somsak told the media.
