Trucks stop along Vibhavadi Rangsit Road near the Energy Ministry on Tuesday as part of a renewed protest urging action over high fuel prices. Lorry drivers yesterday gathered outside the Energy Ministry on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road to stage a "Truck Power Final Season" protest. He also said the LTFT will consider raising transport fees by 15-20% to reflect the increase in diesel prices to 30 baht per litre. The government agreed to cap the diesel price at 30 baht from November last year to March this year using the Oil Fund to implement a price subsidy. Mr Withoon said his group had no plans to pressure the energy minister into resigning, but they want the minister to help ease their plight as a result of rising fuel costs.
