Thailand Oil Fund Adjusts Fuel Subsidy Rates Effective September 8
The Oil Fuel Fund Office has announced new subsidy and contribution rates for diesel and gasoline, effective immediately.
On September 8, 2026, the Oil Fuel Fund Office (OFFO) implemented updated financial adjustments for fuel prices in Thailand. According to reports from Matichon Online, the fund is now providing a subsidy of 5.77 baht per liter for diesel fuel. Conversely, gasoline users are contributing 4.82 baht per liter into the fund.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, these adjustments are significant as they directly influence the retail price of fuel at service stations across the country. Diesel, which is widely used for public transportation and logistics, receives support to help stabilize costs, while gasoline prices are adjusted through contributions to the fund. These measures are part of the government's ongoing strategy to manage domestic energy price volatility.
While these rates are currently in effect, the long-term impact on pump prices will depend on global oil market fluctuations and future policy decisions by the OFFO. Travelers planning road trips or residents budgeting for transportation costs should monitor local service station prices, as these figures reflect the current state of the fund's intervention rather than a permanent price ceiling. Further updates regarding the duration of these specific rates or potential future adjustments remain to be confirmed by the authorities.
