Gasohol 95, diesel prices rise amid energy crisis

13 Sept 09:46 Key points summarised by AI

Diesel (B7) prices will increase by 50 satang per litre, capped at 33 baht/litre, while Gasohol 95 will rise by one baht per litre, effective tomorrow.
These price adjustments are a direct consequence of the current energy crisis, triggered by the conflict in the Middle East.
To mitigate the impact, oil refineries will boost production of cheaper B10 and B20 biodiesels, and E20 benzine prices will decrease, providing more affordable fuel alternatives.

Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul initiated a nationwide crackdown on illegal Thai nominee shareholders in foreign-run businesses and land holdings to safeguard national interests.
The government will integrate efforts across all relevant agencies to target illicit foreign operations, forced sales of illegally acquired property, and high-risk land ownership schemes.
Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
