A friend told me he read on Thai Visa a story a few weeks ago that the Gov is pulling out of cooking gas subsidies and it is expected to go up by 3 times over the next 12 months. The search function has picked up nothing for me.

Does anyone remember the story?

Is it even true?

Any links?

Doesn't sound too true, many trucks now run on LPG. Jim

Which is why they wanted to pull the subsidies.

The subsidies were put in place to make cooking fuel cheap but because LPG tanks were put in cars the government is losing millions a year as they have to pay more to import the LPG than it is being sold for.

But I think the story was from 1.5~2 years ago and the price hikes never happened.

• Just did a fast google search, it seem subsidies for LPG where removed/ or to be removed from petrochemical processing companies in 2010. Jim
  

no issues. time to go induction

Hi, there are different prices for LPG; commercial, transport and domestic. The government policy was to float the prices of both LPG and NGV for the commercial and transport sector but domestic LPG would continued to be subsidised until this December. Yesterday the government decided to freeze the intended rises for the transport sector for three months to 'help' combat inflation.
