Litre of diesel expected to increase to 35-36 baht from May 1

13 Sept 13:14 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand's diesel price will rise to 35-36 baht per litre from May 1st, up from 30 baht, as the government lifts its price cap.
This initial increase represents only half the actual cost hike, with authorities planning a gradual, step-by-step adjustment to avoid an immediate 10-12 baht jump.
The government is developing measures to mitigate the impact, anticipating that higher diesel costs will drive up consumer product prices and transport charges, particularly affecting low-income earners.
