Thailand’s Fuel Reform Faces 60-Day Deadline

Thailand's Land Transport Federation has set a 60-day deadline for the Energy Ministry to reform the nation's fuel pricing structure, aiming to reduce costs for transport operators. The federation has emphasized the need for systemic changes, including a one-year diesel price cap at THB35 per litre.

In response to the ultimatum, ministry officials have stated they will forward the proposals to the Energy Minister for review and have scheduled a meeting with transport operators to discuss the matter further.

Should the government not meet the deadline, the federation has warned of escalated protests, including the potential mobilization of up to 1,000 lorries into Bangkok to pressure authorities into action.
