Fuel prices jump sharply across Thailand
Fuel prices in Thailand rose sharply on Thursday after the government reduced subsidies, pushing petrol and diesel costs up by as much as six baht per litre nationwide.
The increase took effect from 5am on 26 March following a decision by the state Oil Fuel Fund Executive Committee a day earlier to scale back financial support that had helped stabilise retail prices. The move has resulted in an immediate adjustment at major fuel stations across the country, affecting motorists, businesses and logistics operators.
At PTT stations, high-speed diesel is now priced at 38.94 baht per litre, while B7 premium diesel has risen to 54.64 baht. Petrol prices have also increased significantly, with gasohol 91 reaching 40.68 baht per litre and gasohol 95 climbing to 41.05 baht.

Alternative fuel options have seen similar rises. Gasohol E20 is now 36.05 baht per litre, while gasohol E85 stands at 32.79 baht. Premium fuels recorded even steeper increases, with gasohol 95 premium priced at 52.04 baht per litre and standard gasoline 95 at 49.64 baht.
Other major retailers including Bangchak, PT, Shell and Caltex have implemented comparable adjustments. In some cases, premium diesel and high-grade petrol products have increased by up to eight baht per litre.
