Impact of ME tensions on fuel and electricity in Thailand?

My relatives run petrol stations in Northern Thailand and they’ve been struggling with supply,no sooner does it come then its sold out. I believe they’re limiting the amount each customer can have. Where our place is in Thailand local garages are limiting the amount each customer can have to 500baht, which is fine for scooters but it won’t fill a car or a pick up which a lot of people have over there.

Thanks, Kev.  Electric power?  Is Thailand mostly still petrol generation, or are they on the road to solar and other renewables?

There seems to be a lot more electric cars on the road in Thailand now and I’ve noticed more electric charging points popping up but I think it’s got a long way to go yet personally. Solar power seems to becoming more popular and a lot of new builds seem to come with solar panels installed and big stores like Thaiwatsadu stock a full range of solar products.

Gasoline raise 3 Thb because of the war.

But last week when we tank again, It was back at normal rate.

No problem with supply in our area.

Price for electricity go up/down month by month.

As Thailand buy some (Think it is around 15%) electricity for neighbouring countries.

Thailand imports a significant and growing amount of electricity, with imports serving roughly 15% of the country's electricity demand as of 2024–2025.

Total Import Volume: In 2023, Thailand imported approximately 35.81 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity.

thanks, guys.  So, at this point no concerns about energy.  Hope things stay that way!

News last evening.

Gasoline to go up 2 Thb per liter again today.

Electricity to go up 2 Thb per unite this month.

Hi folks,

As this global clusterf..  continues to unroll, are you seeing more negative results?  Totally apart, but there is a family matter which may push me to move my arrival back a few additional weeks (AARRRGGGHHHH!!!)

Hopefully this idiocy is resolved soon, but will ask for Thai updates every few weeks, in case some important development there comes into the equation as well.

Greetings!  Hope you all had a pleasant weekend!

As I'm reading about airlines cancelling flights due to fuel costs, and news items around much of the world about energy costs, continued fallout like Iranian tankers being diverted, .....

How is this impacting life in Thailand?  Especially Hua Hin (suburbs N & S) and Rayong?

Thanks!

Both 91 and 95 are up to about 42 and 43 baht per litre. That's an increase of

10 baht. In Phuket.

A few times I went to get gas and they didn't have any, none. But that's pretty

rare

Thanks!

Shell V-Power Gasohol 95 normal around 46.89,

Wife pay 48,89 last week, And can see today it is up to 51,89 again.

Still no problem with supply in Bangkok, where wife tank last time, and here in our area.

Thank you!
