Fuel Prices in Thailand to Increase by 0.85 Baht Starting September 15
Standard fuel prices across Thailand will rise by 0.85 baht per liter starting at 5:00 AM on September 15, 2026, following a decision by the Oil Fuel Fund Committee.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, motorists in Thailand should prepare for an increase in fuel costs effective from 5:00 AM on September 15, 2026. The Oil Fuel Fund Committee (OFFC) has resolved to adjust the retail prices for standard fuel types, resulting in an across-the-board increase of 0.85 baht per liter.
This adjustment affects standard diesel, gasoline, and gasohol products. Following this change, the price of standard diesel is set to reach 40.69 baht per liter. Notably, premium-grade fuel products are excluded from this price hike and will remain at their current rates.
For residents and travelers, this price adjustment will likely impact daily transportation costs and logistics expenses across the country. As fuel prices are a significant component of travel budgets, those planning road trips or utilizing private transport should account for these higher costs in their upcoming expenses.
While the price increase for standard fuels is confirmed, the duration for which these new rates will remain in effect has not been specified. Travelers are advised to monitor local service station displays for the most accurate pricing at the pump, as market conditions and future committee decisions may lead to further fluctuations.
