No problem. I have some old Honda Cubs that need it, too. There are only a couple of places you can buy it on the whole island. Most PTT stations don't sell it, but, this one does, thankfully.

Hey Joe. OH YES. Im driving my SUV Mitsubishi Airtrek Turbo that runs on a special ECU that requires minimum 95 Octane or else it will knock or jammed. OK, only one PTT has this benzine in Phuket?

The bigger PTT stations usually have 95 Benzine. The one at Kathu bottom Patong Hill has it. One on Chaofa East just as enter Phuket town has it. I must use 95. No doubt PTTs to the north of island must have it. The Malaysian petrol chain have a station near the airport turn off. In the past I had to drive out there for a fill.

Thanks Joe. Yesterday I emailed Caltex, PTT, SUSCO, PT Energy to confirm and get the list. But they replied and update it is processing. 
 

I couldn't find which PTT at Chaofa on Google maps. Attached picture shows Yellow sign at PTT I found on google map near Chaofa East after enter phuket. Is this Benzine Joe?

[Joe Mcseismic]

Yes. Yellow is Benzine 95.

Thats the main concern, my car is specially tuned to RON/BENZINE 97...and the lowest I can go is BENZINE 95.

[johng]

I believe E20 and E85 have higher RON values

Yes, but it isn't pure benzine, it has gasohol added.

No Shell station anywhere stocks pure benzine.

So, is there any pure Benzine 95 at any major PTT? The yellow is PURE  BENZINE 95 and Orange is BENZINE 95 + Ethanol right??

Hey Richard, can you do me a favor? God bless you if you help me. ???? Can you cross check with the Station on YELLOW 95 BENZINE, can you check with them is it pure benzine 100%? 
From what I been research, YELLOW 95 is pure benzine and Orange 95 Benzine + Ethanol. Can help me out here? 

[Joe Mcseismic]

@phuketrichard

Yes, that is correct.

A few years back, the Thai government announced that it was going to stop all pure benzine being sold in the country. Due to lots of people with older cars and motorbikes that could only run on benzine, this was quietly ignored by most of the fuel stations.........all except Shell, the industry's goody-two-shoes (in their own eyes) that stopped selling it completely.

I can confirm that Yellow is pure benzine with no gasohol added. I have already asked at the station.

It's correct, Shell do not stock it, ask for benzene at any Shell outlet and they'll tell you they don't have it.

I was talking about the new PTT station opposite the go cart place. Caltex used to sell 95 but not sure they have now. 

 

Edit - Susco is the Malaysian chain was talking about.

E95 dude, E95. Ethanol.

Different to Benzine 95.

As others have stated, not all PTT stations sell the (yellow) real petrol Benzin 95, and most garages ALL OVER THE COUNTRY do NOT stock it anymore.

That is correct as on SHELL Thai website, it shows only with Gasohol only. no more GASOLINE BENZINE. We call it back in Malaysia RON95. The petrol RON95 is so expensive in Thailand. Malaysia is around USD 0.51 per liter and I thank God for that. again! ????
