People are hoarding fuel, due to shared news stories about Strait of Hormuz being closed and that Thailand only has fuel in stock for 60 days. Furthermore the fuel price is said to have gone up by 4 baht. Diesel seemed to have been sold out last evening, which is likely hoarded most, as it's used in business. When I passed PTT in Bo Phut back home last night, it was still same fuel prices as usual and shown in attached image.
