ORIGINAL POSTERTravelling to Thailand in June for 8 weeks, wondering what the petrol situation is there, is there big queues at petrol stations still?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Currently, there are no significant queues at petrol stations in Thailand, with a steady supply of fuel reported across various regions. While prices have increased in recent weeks, particularly for diesel, many commenters noted that filling up has not been an issue. Areas like Bangkok and Khon Kaen show no wait times, while experiences in southern Thailand indicate high prices but availability. A few participants mentioned past hoarding behavior that caused temporary shortages, but the situation now appears stable.

It seams to be ok now . It was mainly the rural areas due to rice farming and fish/shrimp farms needing it

Robert Lewis you can’t give a straight answer?
Glad he didn’t ask “What’s the weather like?” Who knows how you would’ve responded. Sheesh🙄
