'Pump Radar' helps drivers hunt for gasThe Energy Ministry is advancing digital tracking, supporting a citizen-built fuel app and preparing a platform to monitor oil availability across the country. He highlighted a public initiative by Chanon Ngernthongdee, who created the "Pump Radar" application, enabling users to check which petrol stations are still selling fuel and share updates on fuel availability. He said the ministry has coordinated with the developer to strengthen the system, encouraging petrol station operators to directly input data. Updates are available via provincial energy office Facebook pages by searching the office name and province. Officials compile tables detailing station locations and available fuel types, with some provinces already launching dedicated applications.
