Thailand to Cut Gasoline-Alcohol Blend Fuel Prices by 70 Satang/Liter; Diesel Unchanged

In Thailand, it has been decided that the retail price of gasoline-alcohol blend fuel, commonly known as "benzol-sohol," will be reduced by 70 satang per liter starting tomorrow (August 5, 2026). This measure is believed to be aimed at alleviating the burden on domestic consumers. Meanwhile, diesel fuel prices are expected to remain unchanged at this time. This is presumed to be a decision made considering that diesel is an essential fuel for logistics and industrial activities, and the impact of price fluctuations on the overall economy. This reduction in the price of benzol-sohol fuel is seen as part of Thailand's energy price policy. The Thai government continues to make price adjustments to minimize the impact on people's lives, while closely monitoring international crude oil price trends and domestic economic conditions.
