Where can I buy gas for my car in thailand

any information, a map wood be very helpfull

Uh a petrol station!!

What kind of gas? All normal filling stations have gasoline/benzine and diesel but there are very few outlets upcountry for LPG or NG filling.

my car needs gas from LPG or NG stations

my car needs gas from LPG or NG stations

might help if you tell us where in Thailand you want to buy gas?

I live in Buriram and there is a gas station no problem ,but when i make holiday in other parts of this country I dont know where I can find gas for my car

They are all over the place. Next time you "gas" up, take a look at the sign that says "gas" in Thai and memorize what it looks like. As you drive around, look for that sign. You'll see quite a few. (There are at least two here in central Korat and several others on the highways leading in to the city.)

Believe "all over the place" to be a bit of exaggeration. It took over an hour for taxi driver to find the station in Khon Kaen and talking to half a dozen people. Only a few knew the general area but if you are not from the city that does not help much. A tuk tuk driver was found after we got within a block or two but even then following his instructions put us in a circle two time before the station was spotted (passed it at least once). Believe in Korat there is a station on the exit side of highway 2 toward Khon Kaen (perhaps near Big C but was middle of night so not sure). I would ask your local station if they have maps of locations elsewhere - or at least what cities have.

I may be wrong but I think most PTT and Caltex stations carry it. Suggest you find one or both of these stations and ask them about locations that supply LPG. Everytime I've ridden a tuk-tuk that needed refilling it was always at one of these companies. But then again, not a lot of tuk-tuks on the main highways.

Make sure your driver license is valid and have your muffler bearings checked once a month.

Gasoline will be incidental. I suspect more important issues.

Hi Satu

Just curious, in the UK LPG cars also run on petrol if necessary.

Can Thai LPG cars only run on gas?

You can get the conversion to where you keep the gasoline option and NGV option, at least until (a big if) NGV stations are more common. No idea how that works, but dad has a Range Rover that runs on both. He mentioned it costing around 43,000 Baht to get the system set up.

Please be aware that LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) and NG (Natural Gas) are two entirely different things.

Most Taxis and Tuk Tuks running around Bangkok use LPG, but PTT is promoting the use of NG for private cars etc..

LPG is stored and used at much lower pressure than NG. Probably one of the reasons you occasionally read about Taxis or Tuk Tuks exploding at filling stations here is because the driver is trying to put NG in a Tank only suitable for LPG.

Another reason is that the majority of the LPG Tanks fitted to taxis etc. here in Thailand are actually used Tanks imported from Japan - where by law the Tank must be replaced after 5 years in use - so the old tanks are exported to Thailand.

Off topic but of interest...

I am currently sitting in Singapore, and at the end of the road is a BP Hydrogen station (for fuel cell cars) ! Slightly ahead of most places I think...
