Bangkok, Transport Federation Prepare to submit a letter to the Prime Minister on June 11, requesting diesel at 30 baht/liter, specifying that it will be increased to 33 baht. In serious trouble, request that the energy price structure be adjusted quickly. Gas station dealers explained the impact if it was not PTT group oil. Mr. Thongyu Kongkhan, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the Land Transport Federation of Thailand, said that in the Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, June 11, the Federation, which has 12 members of transport associations, has over 400,000 trucks from all over the country. There are approximately 1.5 million vehicles traveling to Government House. to submit a letter to the Prime Minister Request to solve the problem of high diesel prices, which in just over a month the price has increased up to 3 baht/liter from no more than 30 baht to around 33 baht/liter, and the government has ordered this price to be frozen until 31 July 2024 by Moving the price causes transport operators to suffer becaus e every increase in the price of diesel by 1 baht/liter will affect costs by 3-5 percent, which in this economic situation. It is considered difficult to increase shipping costs. Therefore, I want to see the government do what it campaigned for during the election, which is to do whatever it takes. Diesel price is 30 baht/liter. 'The federation would like to ask that the government campaign for diesel to be 30 baht, but now it has gone up to 33 baht/liter if the new customer group You can increase the shipping cost. But old customers who have binding contracts You have to negotiate and it takes time. I would like the government to come in and take care of me, maybe giving 30 baht only to transport groups that are good kids. Do not carry more than the law Is it possible or not?' Mr. Thongyu said. The federation recently held a meeting where they will write to the government on 3 main matters: 1. Let the government help take care of you. Transport groups should initially help only those whose loads do not exc eed the legal limit, such as giving a coupon for a discount on the oil price of 30 baht/liter. 2. Adjust the oil price structure. From oil refineries to retail stores, it is difficult to understand the matter of excise tax reduction because excise tax revenues are already lower than the target by more than 40 billion baht. We have to look at other parts. How to adjust What taxes are redundant? It should be done appropriately. 3. The federation supports the amendment. Fuel laws ensure that sales prices are fair. It is not about making energy capital too profitable. 'During this period, it can be seen that oil prices are changing rapidly. Transport operators are also in trouble. Unable to increase shipping costs Pass the entire burden on to consumers. I would like to see the government solve this matter as well. A new energy price structure will be used. As for the Oil Fund The loss of more than 100 billion baht, if you look carefully, is 60 percent subsidized oil, the rest is subsidized cooking gas. Part of w hich is a home car. that are not mainly trucks,' Mr. Thongyu said. Reporters reported that Now on social media There is a campaign not to fill up gas at PTT Group gas stations through the gas station dealer group. It has been clarified as follows. that the campaign not to refuel at PTT, if it actually came to fruition What do most Thai people get? 1. SMEs lack income because 80 percent of service stations and shops in service stations Including Amazon coffee shops. The owner is the distributor. or those who run franchise businesses, which are small entrepreneurs in each province, totaling almost 3,000 people. 2. Affecting employment. Currently there are more than 56,000 positions. 3. Lack of good activities such as building service stations in a standard format, clean bathrooms, and beautiful gardens with universal design for everyone's access. and parted and exchanged smiles Get rid of trash and use the income to take care of the community, playground, and exercise area. Income sent to the state Decreased because 65 percent of the major shareholder is the government. Just last year's dividends amounted to over 50,000 million baht, which was government income. Used to develop the country, excluding annual income tax. that the state receives from the profits of business operations 5. Reduce trust in Thai brands when expanding investment abroad. Because of the current popularity of service stations PTT is not just in the country, and PTT's success abroad will help bring Thai SMEs to grow as well, creating a Thailand Brand. What will it be like? In the end, doing this will affect the price of oil in our country. It hasn't decreased. The nation and Thai people are not getting anything. Source: Thai News Agency
