The Prime Minister said this is a big problem. It is making the fuel shortage in Thailand worse.

The government found that some oil traders were hoarding fuel.

Some ships with fuel were delayed. This meant the fuel did not arrive on time. The sellers waited for prices to go up.

Over 57 million liters of fuel went missing during transport in southern Thailand.

The government is investigating this as a special case.

People are upset about the high fuel prices.

Fuel prices are very high in Thailand. Gasoline is 57.51 baht per liter. Diesel is 47.74 baht per liter.

The war in the Middle East has affected oil supplies. This has made prices go up in Southeast Asia.

Vietnam also increased fuel prices. Diesel now costs VND46,200 per liter.

Gasoline prices in Vietnam have gone up by 28% since the war started.

The government in Vietnam is using a special fund to help with fuel prices.
