Retail LPG price drops 2 baht/kg to 20.29 baht/kg



BANGKOK: -- The Energy Policy Board decided on Wednesday to slash the retail price of liquified petroleum gas (LPG) by two baht per kilogramme to 20.29 baht from 22.29 baht for the month of February.

The board also decided to scrap the compensation for transportation costs for LPG to be delivered by PTT Plc to regional depots across the country. This measure will reduce the LPG prices in the countryside to different levels depending on the distance between the depots and PTT Plc main LPG terminal.

However, Mr Thavarath Sutabutr, director of the Energy Policy and Planning Office, said that during the first three months the depot-gate prices of LPG in the countryside will be controlled at levels not exceeding the transportation costs.

He pointed out that the LPG price in Lampang which is the farthest from PTT terminal will not be reduced as the compensation remains at 2 baht/kg.

The new LPG retail price for Bangkok and the eastern region effective as of Thursday is 20.29 baht/kg.

At B20.29 per kilo, thats B913.05 for 45kg bottle of gas.

As $1aus = B25 then a 45kg bottle of gas is $36.50c

A 45kg bottle of gas in Oz can vary, but was about $140, last time l looked.

Maybe l should switch to gas!

A 47kg cylinder of propane in Scotland costs £69 = 3520Baht = 74.9 Baht/kg

CNG only goes up last weeks.
