Leading providers attributed the diesel price jump to higher international crude oil costs and adjustments in national fuel policy.

Station managers reported that regular-grade diesel now retails at over B32 per litre in Phuket, up from B28.50 before the adjustment.

Several transport associations voiced concern about the immediate impact on operating costs and fares, noting that Phuket’s logistics sector relies heavily on diesel-powered vehicles.
