Long queues continue for fuelA long queue of vehicles waits to buy fuel at a petrol station in Ban Kraut district of Buri Ram on Thursday morning after pump prices jumped by another 6 baht per litre. Many are wasting hours in line when they could be working, as stations are still rationing fuel amid continuing problems with hoarding and distribution bottlenecks. The frustrated drivers asked the government to suspend fuel exports to neighbouring countries to ease the domestic crisis of shortages and soaring prices. Even after the adjustment, long queues were still seen at stations across the district bordering Cambodia. Many also want to keep extra fuel in case border clashes with Cambodia erupt again, so they can evacuate in time.
