The Fuel Fund Executive Committee has decided to increase the diesel price, which has been capped at 30 baht/litre since December last year, to 32 baht/litre, effective from May 1.

 

Energy Permanent Secretary Kulit Sombatsiri said today (Thursday) that the new ceiling price for diesel will be set at 35 baht/litre and the Fuel Fund Executive Committee will consider when the price will be further increased by one baht per litre up to the 35 baht/litre ceiling.

 

He said that the committee will monitor global oil prices on weekly basis and will adjust the domestic price in line.

Pointless comparison. Minimum wage in thailand is 8 quid a day. Its 9.50 an hour in the UK. That's almost a weeks work for some Thai's to fill a tank.

So I saved  60 baht filling up yesterday!
