(Photo: Weeraphon Wongnunta)Fuel shortages, particularly diesel, have intensified across several provinces, with long queues forming at petrol stations, supplies running out within hours and motorists left waiting without certainty of refuelling. Motorists and truckers were seen queueing at pumps only to be told the supply had run out before their turn came. The problem was not limited to a single outlet, with many outlets first limiting then ceasing sales of diesel. At one station, staff distributed sweets to waiting motorists as a gesture of support amid long delays. In Bua Yai, diesel supplies ran out before being replenished, forcing residents to wait for incoming deliveries.
