Should there be any downward adjustment in the global market, he said domestic rates will be reduced accordingly. Otherwise, he promised Bangchak will keep the rates unchanged throughout the festive period.The price retention measure is intended as a New Year’s present for Songkran revelers, who will be traveling on the roads throughout the country. Moreover, Mr Chaiwat gave assurances that the amount of oil available at Bangchak stations will be adequate for holidaymakers’ demand as oil trucks will deliver supplies more frequently.According to the President, traditional Songkran activities will be held at all Bangchak stations while a variety of extra services and special promotions will be offered to customers. Motorists will also be able to avail themselves of the free car checkup, provided by the company in cooperation with the Department of Land Transport at selected stations. -- NNT 2016-04-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pib Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Didn't they already raise the prices in February? http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/content/86794 They have raised and lowered prices numerous times....quite a few times each month although it don't always make wide spread news. Not uncommon for prices on some fuels (sometimes all) to change weekly (or even more often).
