The Oil Fuel Fund Office (OFFO) has approved a 6-Baht per liter increase across all fuel types, effective at 5:00 AM. Long queues of motorists have caused heavy congestion, particularly along Ratchaphruek Road and Route 345 (Pak Kret-Pathum Thani), as people scramble to fill their tanks before the new rates take effect. The sudden hike underscores the severity of the ongoing energy crisis and its immediate impact on the cost of living.
