The Energy Ministry (7 Aug 2026) is keeping retail LPG at 423 baht per 15 kg tank by raising the state subsidy from 7.2209 to 9.8642 baht/kg, even though the oil fuel fund is 71,826 million baht in deficit, up about 2,044 million in a week. Global prices remain volatile due to uncertainty over the Strait of Hormuz. For a Thai SME, the price is frozen for now, but the fund's growing debt means a future price rise or fuel-related cost change is possible. Plan for cost volatility, and keep an eye on the ministry's weekly fund updates.
