For your further enlightenment, it's short for aviation gasoline.

Prive varies dramatically.

In October it was running at 42 baht/liter in Chonburi and 51 baht/liter in Chiangmai on the same weekend.

Get a Rotax, runs on 95, even 95 Gasahol.

Just a thought but try Lampoon Airport (Chiangmai Flying Club), Lanna Airfield and Nok Airfield they have 100LL in 55 gallon drums.

CNX has bulk storage and turn the fuel over at a faster rate than these other fields. Since they turn it over so fast you are pretty much assured of getting the most recent price hike. The smaller fields get a delivery every month or so, so the price they charge is less than the current rate at CNX.

Just a thought.

The Petroleum Authority of Thailand - PTT - runs the aviation refuelling at Chiang Mai airport with large tankers for Jet A1 and and smaller tankers for Avgas.

They have offices at their depot at the airport and they are very approachable. I have taken on tens of thousands of litres of avgas over the past many years, of course the price varies so I cannot give you any idea of the current price as I haven't bought any there for a few years now. Are you after tanker or drum fuel?

I think that this was PM'd to you by someone else, but just in case it wasn't, here it is..... they should be able to help you locate AvGas dealers in Malaysia and Indonesia as well.

What model Piper?
