Is there an election coming soon?

 

No 500 baht note, but IMHO just another electoral bribe by the PM.

What they fail to mention is that they put the tax on petrol up to cover the shortfall on diesel.

I don't think they have put the "tax" up unless you can point me to something I may have missed?

 

Petrol prices are supposed to move in line with world oil prices as did diesel before they capped it.
