Thailand Adjusts Oil Fund Subsidies for Diesel Fuel
The Oil Fuel Fund Office has announced new subsidy rates for diesel, effective September 13, 2026, to manage domestic fuel prices.
According to a report by Matichon Online, the Oil Fuel Fund Office (OFFO) has issued a new announcement regarding subsidy rates for diesel fuel, which took effect on September 13, 2026. Under the new measures, the subsidy for standard diesel has been set at 8.75 baht per liter, while the subsidy for B20 diesel has been increased to 12.62 baht per liter.
For residents and travelers in Thailand, these adjustments are part of the government's ongoing efforts to stabilize domestic energy costs. Fuel prices directly influence the cost of public transportation, logistics, and the overall price of goods and services across the country. While these subsidies help mitigate the impact of global market volatility on local consumers, they also reflect the government's active management of the Oil Fuel Fund's liquidity.
It remains to be confirmed how long these specific subsidy rates will remain in effect, as the OFFO frequently adjusts these figures based on international oil price fluctuations and the financial health of the fund. Travelers planning to rent vehicles or use private transport should monitor local fuel prices, as they may fluctuate in response to these policy shifts. Further updates regarding the duration of these subsidies or potential changes to other fuel types, such as gasoline, have not yet been detailed by the authorities.
