Gas stations still open on suggested routes to North, Northeast

The Ministry of Energy has confirmed that gas stations are still providing normal services for motorists on all roads to the northern and northeastern regions that are unaffected by floods.

In response to concerns among people traveling from Bangkok to the North and the Northeast by car that it would be difficult to find fuel to refill their tanks due to the current flood crisis, Spokesperson of the Energy Ministry Pachara Naripthaphan assured that all service stations along the recommended roads previously announced by the Department of Highways still remained operational.

Nonetheless, he urged commuters to check on the flood situation before hitting the road and use only suggested routes in a bid to avoid being stuck in flooded areas without gas stations.

Speaking of the current supply of natural gas for vehicle (NGV), Mr Pachara confirmed that it was adequate for consumption, adding that the fuel was still being delivered as usual to service stations within flood-free locations.
