Korn said PTT currently has a monopoly on the liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade and it sells LNG to every electricity generation plant. PTT executives explained to him that PTT wanted Glow to supply electricity to its own business, Korn said. Korn said he would petition Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha, the Energy Minister and the Office of the Ombudsman on Monday about the issue. Deunden Nikomborirak, a research director at Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI), backed Korn, saying PTT may be violating the Constitution. PTT, as a state-run enterprise, should not be in the coffee business and compete with individuals or private companies, she said.
